I have come across a number of QA 'solutions' recently posted by new accounts. In each case the OP just dumps some unformatted code that has no relevance to the questions, most of which were posted a year or more ago. I flag them as "Not an answer" but wonder whether some further, or different, action should be taken?

If you see a member doing this multiple times then it's definitely abusing the system, so please report them as such.

Many times it is more a problem of several accounts doing it once than a problem of one account doing it several times.
I don't know if just testing things / our response... I don't know if they (the accounts) just get dropped or saved for a future wave.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

There are two "Best article of November 2019" voting links at this time:
Which is kind of confusing.
"Five fruits and vegetables a day? What a joke!
Personally, after the third watermelon, I'm full."

And they both contain the same articles ...

Oh no. That was me. I put the wrong dates, hit submit, then stopped. Then I changed the dates and hit submit again.
I wasn't fast enough. I've made a temporary fix. But I will submit to the lash, and then ask for a real fix.
Thanks for the catch.
Thanks,

He doesn't have to be forced into his Mankini - he wore it for Casual Friday (and that got cancelled forthwith).

Seems to affect every QA page. I've tried in another browser, and I get the same error.

Seems to be working, but a bit "we failed to add your solution" when it has gone through ATM.

That was a bit hair raising. Still working backwards to find the root cause but it was some bad data that resulted in a null-ref that had escaped all our testing.

Fun.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

When an account is disabled for spamming, any messages they may have posted (especially those that have links) should be automatically removed as well.

That's a difficult one: Yes, it would help "tidy up" the site, but ... we have had malicious "spammer" or "troll" reports which have closed accounts (this happened mostly in the early days after downvoting was prevented in the Lounge). And while it's good for actual spammers to lose all messages, I'd be quite annoyed if my account was restored and everything I'd typed in the last ten and a half years was gone ... I suspect you would as well.
Maybe remove all messages if the account was opened in a specific timeframe? ... But that means adding special cases and I don't like those if I can avoid them.

one of my roommate account is closed, saying that "Content has been posted that is abusive and trolling", he himself not aware of that when this happened and without any warning etc account is closed. he has contributed lot in this forum and very annoyed that all his articles/blogs are destroyed.. any chance to get it reopen and get the all data back? if yes please suggest.. we are people who help in most of forums like code project and sometime challenging each other go into different direction.. i feel code project should give one warning before deleting full record which people take years an years to do. please suggest if any request can help my friend.

Abusive/trolling can also mean "publication of plagiarized material".
"Five fruits and vegetables a day? What a joke!
Personally, after the third watermelon, I'm full."
|
|
|
|
|
where can we request on which mail id to re activate account, so that he understand the plagiarize material and not to repeat the same.
|
|

First thing would be to state which account you are talking about.
But you should be aware that admins have tried to give second chances to plagiarists in the past, and that did not prevent most of them to do it again. It is a fact that those who try to present others' work as their own seldom change their ways. So nowadays it is rather uncommon that closed accounts for plagiarism are reopened.

What was his user ID? Without that we can't check why it was closed.
