This thread does not belong in 3rd party (and I'll move it to misc/other at the end of the day).
I ignored postings from animer for a while. I'll have some reading
This was the only forum I found where a poll could be created.  And since aminer posts exclusively here, it wasn't too far off subject.

A poll for this isn't appropriate either, but you got our attention

personally I do not care one way or an other but I voted no simply because mister aminer with all his problems was never outside the forums rules, I do agree that there seems to be a wall of comprehension-understanding between animer and the rest of the population but its not reason enough to ban him.

BTW, what distinguish "Lazarus Complete Guide" book announcement from "Buy Cheap Viagra" announcement? Not much, indeed. If you don't  like it, it is spam, if you like it, it is not.

When he starts his post chain I usally say "No! Not again!" then I realize/remember that this is MY PROBLEM. Then if I don't find anything interesting to read in the forum I go back to what I was doing before I checked the forum...

I very badly understand English. But I do not consider that it can be an excuse to rave as this guy on the forum
I think this is not a man, it's spam bot regularly been posting links (they are almost in every post), but well disguised.

I also voted with "No". For most of us most posts in this forum are less relevant. What is the difference with aminer's post? They don't deal with Viagra or money transfer from a certain country, but with algorithms in Pascal, of course from a rather theoretical perspective, but this isn't the point.

If you aren't interested in them, you might simply ignore them.

but if he promote his code violating any licenses that it should not be tolerated. And absolutely should be forbidden to write so many posts on one thread. Should notify about as example ParalellVarFiler and edit only the information about the new version. One program = one thread (only update info about new version - as edited). IMHO.

He is not the only person, who promotes his code, and it is pascal related. The frequency with which he does may be questionable, BUT it is at least partly fuelled by other people replying to him. So he does have readers.

If he uses the forum for illegal actions, and if there are signs that he will keep doing so, despite having been made aware, then this needs to be addressed.

As above, people actual reply, so they read. IMHO yes he could write less, but were is the problem? Do you read every post on the Forum? Because if so, I envy you for the amount of time you have.
I look at the topic, and if unsure read one post, then I decide if I will ignore the topic in future. So to me treads with a subject like "another question" are a million time worse, than the one or 2 threads by animer.

Is it possible to introduce ratings  for forum (third party) threads (plugin that lets users rate ) ?

A simple way to "rate" a post is comparing the number of views and also compare the replies.

The absolute champion on a eventual rating on this forum are BGRAControls posts. I have deep doubt about someone could think it is spam.

Where would you set a limit? You wrote e.g. five posts in the thread http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/index.php/topic,22257.0.html. Should this be forbidden?

Hello,

You have to understand guys that i will not post and talk about my Object pascal projects again and again every time, i just had to talk and write about my projects and some computing subjects and now that i did it , that's all, be sure that i will not talk and write about my projects again and again ,  i said what i have to say about my Object pascal projects, and that's all, hence i will post  fewer posts than before , cause i have already talked about my Object pascal projects, that's all.


Hope you understand what i want to say.


Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.

Hello,

I will clear something , you have also to understand
that i don't speak and write well english,
so i am sorry guys, this why i don't answer
some posts, it's because of my poor english
that i didn't answered Juha Manninen and scoop and others... and i have already explain it to Juha Manninen.


So if  you saw me replying to myself , it
is because i don't speak very well english, it's difficult for me to write and talk in english  with others, you have to understand
this once and for all and be kind a litlle bit.


Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.
