johnpol179 - loony or what?

[rojash]

This guy repeatedly posts answers on here, many of which are substantially identical - even when the questions are entirely different. What's more, most of the answers don't even make sense. About every third one he adds a link to the same paid-for support site.

It's a pity you can't report answers as Advertising, but on the other hand, it seems a good way of finding out which sites to avoid when looking for help...

Have you got any proof of this as we've been watching this guy for a while but always manages to slip through our fingers. (part of the editorial team)

[redcrx]

just use the contact us button and list the threads to the ED.
its up to them if they want to delete his posts then

this was happening a few weeks ago in Body & Soul - absolute blatant advertising - I reported it and it was wiped out within a couple of hours....

[hailthechimp]

This is what we're here for redcrx,the ed would prefer you to use his sub eds ie,me and others who have a more "hands on" approach.

[hailthechimp]

lol!

[redcrx]

if its all the same to you chimp i'll avoid the "hands on" path :)

[sandmaster]

Can't say I've noticed him but I will keep a lookout.

They have been doing it for a little while now... it's very annoying as they seem to not actually read the questions or any answers that have already been given.

I mailed the Ed about it this morning with a couple of links to the questions that they have posted the link to the pay for support site.

[spleeny]

Yeah, loony i say. Just gave me a rubbish,and although english is obviously not his first language, basic answer. Get rid!
