Cheers Sean. With just a little bit of work, he could probably turn it into a decent article.

I see peace burgeoning on that thread. He's in good hands. Thank you Pete.

Not a problem mate. I really didn't want to vote abuse, so if he's happy then I'm happy. Thanks for intervening.

Don't delete the article. Don't delete the message either, and I apologise if I helped to make your day that little bit worse. There is an easier option - Sean, can you please delete the message chain from the article? That way it's a fresh start.

|
|
|

Yes, yes I can. I have done so. We're all on the same page now, and we all want to see the article do well.
Thanks,

Thanks Sean. Much appreciated.

Sean, could you please delete the messages from the article? That way we can all start fresh with it and see where it goes from there.

This one was a special case because of the interactions I had with this user. Sean and I had a word with him and he's a good citizen then.

This is great. I also had some cases when a little motivated explanation or friendly warning makes a member play fairly, but it rarely affect heavy abusers or cheaters.
And thank you for answering my question.
Do you have an opinion on my suggestion to provide notifications on member reports to the member being reported?

I have to agree that it should certainly help.

After a discussion with Sean this morning we've decided to reduce the number of votes needed to close an item in Quick Answers. Previously it required 5 votes. It now requires only 3.
As always, let's help those who are having trouble framing their question properly by editing them, and lets help our technical experts sort the wheat from the chaff by closeing those questions that simply aren't phrased in a way that makes it possible to answer.

The latest revision of Take MVC to the Next Level in .Net[^] is currently in the approval queue.
If you look in the comments, a member already questioned whether this is a legitimate article or if it should be considered spam.
I have not reported it at this point. What do you think?

Conversely I think that one is OK. It's clear the article is by and on belhalf of a company. There's useful technical detail in there, everything is CPOL licensed and it's clear that the product behind this is Open Source so they don't appear on the surface at least to be trying to sell anything.
This comes down to Code Project policy as to how this is seen but I wouldn't want it to be impossible for an article to be written linking to OSS code just because that code was developed by a company that also does commercial stuff. I would have to withdraw my articles in that case as well.

I don't disagree with you, I think I even agree . The article and CodePlex project look solid (I might even try out that plugin), but I took the question to this forum because the roads lead back to a retail version and I am always trying get better at making a decision on this very issue.
BTW, I support the way the profile posting this article is completely open about it representing the company. My alarm bells go off when such a trail is hidden, but reveals itself once you dig into it.

Article currently up for approval CSS3 isn't supported by all old Browsers[^].
It's small but reasonably done and includes useful info so I would approve except that it is also a thinly disguised advert for this product[^] which seems to be a Sencha side project. Is this considered fronting for a commercial product because it's Sencha and they should be paying for the advert or OK because this particular tool seems to be a free download/side project and the article is otherwise fine?
Too tough a call for me.

This article seems to have had a slight change of name to CSS3 is not working in IE7 & IE8[^] and just came into the queue again. I ended up tagging it as spam, but after taking a closer look at the website, I think I might have made a mistake...
I would also like to hear what you guys think.
BTW, the formatting of the article is horrible on my mobile IE10.

Here is this removed account:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=9249843[^].
Here is what happened: I reported this person for rude aggressive reaction to my (polite) comment. But my commend was misplaced; that was purely my fault. I wanted to warn another person for abuse on one of his question pages, but my mistake was to reply with my warning comment to a wrong post, a post of a person who received a fake answer, not the author of it. Such things sometimes happened, and I was always able to fix my mistake, but this time it was already too late
Even though OP's reaction was rude and kind of unacceptable, I did not want to ban this person, because it was actually my fault. I reported this person on the abuse forum, and some member(s) immediately reported OP effectively banning the account. Probably reporting members trusted me and did not understand that my warning was wrong; and OP's rudeness was apparent.
Nevertheless, I don't think OP deserved banning of the account. He/she reported me, too, and told me many bad words, but any person can sometime loose control, when facing baseless accusations. I would ask to restore the OP's account. I would also want a change to explain this person my mistake.
Please help me to fix my mistakes if possible. Sorry about that.

Actually in this case the member asked to have their account removed. We can certainly restore it. I would be happy to convey any message to the member you would like.

Finally! Thank you very much for restoring the account of EuphorialXTC.
I finally found the ends: this person was actually innocent, I really misplaced my comment with the warning, and this person has over-reacted. It's OK, explainable—
I used his last comment to reply and brought my apologies.
I've done some research and found the account of the real "bad guy" I wanted to warn in first place (at that moment, it does not matter who it was, I removed another fake answer from the page in question, but I finally found the account and posted the same warning. The abuse of this "bad guy" was not that bad to report it on the abuse forum, I just removed fake answers and hope he will take my warning into account.
Unfortunately, the problem is that during last days I detected a good number of much heavier abusers, who, in particular, self-accept fake answers intentionally, and some even plagiarize the answers to their own questions and later post those answers as their own, or try to trick readers intentionally in other ways. It happened before, but not it looks like a sad trend. I'm going to bring the list to the abuse watch forum…
Thank you again (and by the way, thank you for sending me that first MVP certificate!),

Hello Moderators,
Check the question how to change the background image on click[^], which has some links, clicking on those it opens up Code Project Error page.
And there is no clear explanation of what exactly the OP needs.
I asked the OP, but he/she has replied, which is again not informative. Even the OP added more codes in an answer box.
Thanks,
Tadit

This one here[^]. IMO it does not give a use to anyone anymore. And it is just a piece of an old joke.
Delete or leave alive? There are many many 1-Votes
