Well, we certainly warned him ...

I was told by Mr. Richard Deeming (who closed all of my articles this time ) following thing:
Re: IDN Awareness Raising answers getting tagged as "Spam". Why? - C# Discussion Boards[^]
I quote:
Quote: It's been raised in B&S before. The conclusion is that adding new answers to old questions is perfectly fine, so long as you're adding something new to the discussion.
The reasoning I got in the mail is: "This is not an answer to a question".
I was told that adding something new to the question is acceptable. I was adding new information. Sadly I will not be access any of the answers that were closed. This time there were absolutely no links to any of the personal blogs.
It would have been good if my answers were accessible/visible in some restricted space itself so that they could be put to others to judge.

@Kats2512, I was opening questions which had a very specific background. The criterion was not them being old. A careful look at the questions would have given a good idea.
Kats2512 wrote: Opening old posts and posting solutions.
I definitely was posting solutions with all the understanding I had developed through the interaction I got from the thread (you quoted) that I myself had started. Sad that you think that that thread was about warning me.
Kats2512 wrote: Some answers also contain links to an external product of some sort.
"External product of some sort" ??? Really? Let me list those external products of some sorts:
1. Link to MSDN (.NET)
2. Link to python libraries from PyPI
Where is the due dilligence?
Why is just getting reported in this forum automatically makes someone liable for action?

And what about the link that went to a blog with a donate button? Site driving!
|

Which was that link? Please do provide. I had not posted any such link whatsoever. I would request site moderators to please look at this and decide who is being truthful here.
If even one of my answers seemed to have any such links, I would totally own it up and leave the forum myself. If no such link is found, I would definitely want you Kats2512 to reconsider alleging others with such grievous accusations.

I will not provide the link as I will be doing the same site driving as you. However, it was your GNU link that had options to join the site, donate and shop. When I clicked shop it took me to a page that was selling t-shirts, socks, hoodies and some other items!

It was a link on the gnu.org site. Specifically it was pointing to the libidn2 library. Libidn2 is an implementation of the IDNA2008, TR46 specifications (RFC 5890, RFC 5891, RFC 5892, RFC 5893, TR 46). Posting here for everyone to judge if it is site driving or giving technical information.
GNU IDN Library - Libidn - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation[^]
It is a GNU.ORG website for god's sake !
You scrolled that page. Found the "Shop" link by the "Free Software Foundation" and clicked over there yourself and are accusing me of driving people here to that site?

You posted at least 8 "solutions" in a short period of time, all of them to old, previously answered posts, all on a similar subject. You are inconsistent in your "recommendations" in your solutions and all of them (that I personally saw) contained links, largely to different websites each time.
These are all behaviours we have seen before from either spammers, or new members attempting to gain enough reputation points to be able to post spam in their profiles.
You've been told about how behaviours can be perceived and interpreted before and I understand that you have had an account suspended before for similar behaviours. How hard can it be to grasp what is acceptable behaviour on a website? You don't appear to want to take the advice that was offered - not everyone gets the opportunity to discuss this. My advice would be to let it go and be more careful in future Neither the Lounge nor this forum are the right vehicle for this debate - take it up with the Site Admin

Thank you for the genuine advice Chill60.
I had said it before and I will say it again. I am working towards sensitizing the developer community about Internationalized Domain Names and I was only answering questions which had that background. The links I was giving were to the libraries which were specific to the Questioner's programming language and the question itself. They were from different websites because they were talking to different programming languages.
I am not crying over being put through moderation everytime I post something. I understand that it helps the site be a better place for collaboration to ward off potential spammers. My persistent request remains that moderators take that into account before taking summary actions.
Kat2510 reported me for posting a link to GNU.ORG website. Which subsequently deleted all my genuine answers, including those which did not have any links at all.
I totally agree with your suggestion of going to the site Admin. Only if I knew how to, I would have.
