Account seems to have been nuked!
I do have a question about this though, Griff. OP linked to another "Third Party Product" article in one of his replies to my comments about his article. It was about some use of a Telerik control. I viewed said article and found no links to the "third party product" manufacturer. Is an article OK if it just shows a use case for an official product, but does not actually link to the manufacturers site?
If the answer was yes, wouldn't it have been enough to try to get OP to just remove the link and have him post his article in the correct category?
And the last question is about the two former articles OP had already done in 2007. Why were those two even considered as an article? They were very,very short, mostly code and no real explanation.
Regards,
Manfred

Yes - it's fine as far as I can see. If it wasn't allowed then I think half of the answers in QA would technically be spam, given that (other than the Express editions) VS and MSSQL aren't exactly cheap! 
If you look back into history, many, many articles were shorter - a lot shorter - and I suspect that was why the Hamsters introduced Tips as a separate category in (don't quote me, I'm working from memory here) around 2010. They wouldn't pass muster as an article now, but they did then because there was nowhere else for them.

That seems a probable reason. In 2010 I became more active on CP even though I had already signed up January 25th 2007. I think there already were Tips/Trick type articles by 2010.

This user[^] has posted 6 questions in the QA (so far)
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Answers/MemberPosts.aspx?tab=questions&mid=6086409[^]
The weird thing is that he answers himself in 4 of them within a minute with a bunch of code. So it is clearly a "ask question" + "paste ready answer".
Then there is this "question" Just Test Test test ddsds sd d[^]
In another one he even posted a comment his own solution as "good one"
I have told him he should stop doing that and if he really wants to share his code to make that, he should write a tip/trick or something, but I consider it "rep hunting" in the QA.
Not reported him yet. I would like to know your opinion first.
Edit: Cleaned up

On a side-note, I modified the Just Test Test test ddsds sd d[^] question and answer. Without the pre-tags, the whole thing was displayed at half the normal width and the reporting flags were not visible (both in Chrome and IE). I had to switch to Mobile site mode to make "Improve solution" visible and actually [Tab] through the elements to get to "Improve question".
I figured I would share that little tip here.

I think you are in mood to use your new boots..!!! I suspect he has sock puppets also because this[^] also has got an Upvote.
Well done.

I don't know if the article is already nuked, but the link you gave brings to a full empty auto-saved version without flag.
User needs one more at the moment

I believe he re-posted. This time with a file for download. Let me check and update the link. Thanks for the heads up.

You are wellcome.
I am being directed to the same place after the update. But Mr. O'Hanlon said both are nuked. So I consider it cleaned up

Respected CP & Administrator Panel,
I would like to kind request to entire Administrator Panel that either they stop such Religious harassment or they stop such people who are doing that for just increasing their number of points or their general Status.
I am member of Code Project because i like to be here for discussion my problems and discussed it in between very large scale of talented peoples but In Between if i found myself as part of Religious harassment then very gently i would like to request that please delete my account.!!
I think the people who doing such thing i don't have specify their profile or name that administrator panel very well known and aware of that.!!
Thank You.

Pardon?
I have seen no admin, staff, or even "senior member" indicate any form of religious harassment.
Perhaps you could post links to such comments?

Am I missing something here?
- Link 1: No reference to any religion, and no insults.
- Link 2: (Message since removed) Possible religious insult, if "people whose last name is 'Joshi'" is a veiled reference to a religious group. Google and Wikipedia come up empty on this one, so you'll have to enlighten us if that's the case.
- Link 3: Personal insult; no mention of religion.
So out of the three links, that's one potential religious insult, and one personal insult. Not a nice attitude, but it hardly counts as "constantly insulting someone's religion".
