Taken some introduction about cloud business apps from MSDN site????? Copying whole content and changing just images is not called 'some',its called plagiarism which is not allowed at all. Admins will decide whether to reactivate your account or not,but i don't think they will as this is the clear case of 'Copy-Paste' job.

CTRL+A, CTRL+C, CTRL+TAB, CTRL+V does not an article make.
Suppose you wrote an Android app, and I came along, took a copy, called it "Flappy Birds", and was pulling down $50,000 a day in advertising revenue? You'd have a right to be very annoyed!
But that's what you did: took something that probably took three guys a week or more to produce, filed the serial numbers off, and said "I wrote this!".
To be a moderator here, you have to write articles - which means that every moderator knows how much work is involved. And along you come, decide that a short cut via theft is much easier, and then complain when you are caught?
No, the rules are simple: plagiarism is a capital offence!
But thanks for telling us about this sock puppet account: we'll keep an eye on that as well...

My blog is being polled but no new articles are being consumed.
I have LastPolled: 16-Dec-15 9:07
but LastUpdated: 29-Jul-15 17:50
This is for mortoray.com. I mark my articles `CodeProject` and it is displayed on the articles. Some articles were pulled before so it did work at one point.

Is there a way to include the full article text in your feed? That's a good place to start.
Thanks,

For the last week, a large portion of the pages on CodeProject trigger a warning of my virus checker about a Windows trojan. I sent an email about this to the webmaster, without receiving any reply.
I think this is completely unacceptable - even if this is, as I assume, caused by third-party ads. Assuming this isn't just me, this website has, for the last week or so, probably been harming development more than helping it.
Update: By now, I did receive a reply from the webmaster and we looked into it further. The problem is not with the website itself , but does occur when I click a link from a CodeProject newsletter to an article on the website. More research needed.

First, thanks for reporting it here. I've been off for a week (and announced this publicly) so I'm just catching up on emails.
In order to do anything about this I'll need to know
- which virus checker you're using
- what trojan it's reporting
- Which ads are on the page when the warning happens.
If you can email me that at chris at codeproject.com I can get Yuriy to dig in and see what's happening.
We're using Google's DART system for trafficking ads (the industry standard) and post ads as image files, third party script or sometimes Google's own AdX ads. Third party ads are typically from large advertising agencies that are also used across thousands of other sites and networks.
I assume you've also run a complete scan on your system to ensure you have nothing infecting your system (eg rogue browser extensions)
cheers

I got a CP email for a survey (looked all genuine to me), but both links to the survey provide a blank page.
|
|
|
|

Can you please forward the email to me at chris at codeproject.com?
Update: the link you sent me works, but it's slow due to a 5 second delay we're seeing that we're looking into. (Long answer: we use our Developer Media email system to send out these invitations, and it wrapped the direct link in a Developer Media redirect even though we said "please don't" so we're looking into our Developer Media code and will have some stern words with it)
cheers

I give a vote for "Wrong Forum" suggestion, because it would help many people who post in a wrong forum, by mistake!

Would work if you had a drop-down allowing the reporter to suggest which forum it should be in, then after so many selections for a particular forum it gets moved there.

imho, another case where someone (like moi) could have posted a comment asking the OP to revise their post to include a summary statement of what the problem is; could have asked the OP to read the forum guildlines, etc.: [^].
The OP I mention here has only two prior posts on CP (in October), both being appreciative comments on article entries.
Once again, I assert that newcomers to the site, particularly on their first QA post, be given a bit of "slack."
thanks, Bill

No post can be closed by two reports on QA. There were three members even in this case.
(Joke Icon)BTW,I've stopped reporting questions in QA since our last discussion! So i'm not involved in this case

Ohhh really, I was thinking that its your favorite thing on CP to report..., but if you changed your mind now on words then its good for other members who are new or having less points

I think I flagged the question as "unclear or incomplete", but I never imagined it would be closed.
I'll be careful from now, I think I'll stop reporting non-questions and unclear/incomplete ones, since actually OP is not alarmed that his question has been flagged, and the question is closed right away.
I never finish anyth

Who have been here 4 years and 10 months. 
Do we know for certain that this is the user's first QA question? There could have been many others closed as "unclear" in the past, which wouldn't show up in the list.
Do we know for certain that nobody posted a comment to the question? Once a question is closed, there's no way to see any comments or answers that were posted.
The timing looks a bit odd - the question says "posted 6 hours and 5 minutes ago; edited 4 hours ago", which suggests it was alive for over two hours; but the revision history[^] suggests it was closed less than an hour after it was posted (2:08 to 3:01). Maybe there's a bug in the relative date formatting?

While it's very possible I did make a comment requesting the OP to summarize what his code was doing, and state his goal clearly ... I am not sure 100% right now if I did ... a little QA burn-out here 
Re: the OP here on the site 4 years, and no questions asked, etc. Yes, things are a bit murky here, but I don't think "assuming the worst" because someone has been a "lurker" here for some period of time is a reasonable conclusion. The fact the OP posted two messages on articles conveying praise suggests, and the absence of any evidence of "socially negative" behavior: well, for me, in addition to not wanting to "judge" other people, I will "assume the best" in such situations.
And, in this case, the code posted by the OP was "substantial" compared to the so often cryptic messes shown un-formatted by homework-shirkers: and, the OP did format the code in a revision, probably in response to a comment that is now un-viewable.
So, even if this is an "edge case," isn't it the case that a significant part of the "ethos," the culture, of CodeProject that makes it such a unique community, is tolerance, and, willingness to help people ? imho, what better way to demonstrate those qualities than doing what we can to make sure those using the site for the first time, or using the site in "new ways," are not needlessly alienated by being "too fast on the trigger" to delete their content ?
Or, as physicians once often said, primo non nocere, "first, do no harm."

I don't think it is unreasonable that people learn to post appropriate questions. Having the question closed might prompt the person to read the rules, maybe look at questions that have been answered, and learn to post a better-quality question? There is a balance between helping newbs and having a site that is 90% poor quality questions that illicit no real response.
If you were a car mechanic and every day you have a hundred phone calls; "There is a warning light on my dash and the car doesn't work, what's the problem?" what would you do? Stop answering the phone probably.
I'm on the fence really, if the question is largely well-asked but missing some salient details then I don't mind them being prompted for more, but if the question is just a poorly worded subject and the body is just a code dump then I have no problem with the question just being closed. Likewise if the question indicates the user is entirely out of their depth and looking for people to do their work for them, again I have no issues with those "non questions" being closed. Culture is formed largely through moderation, and if you allow hoards of poor-quality questions then that's the culture you get.

This post really mis-represents my observations and my concerns.
We already have tons of junk questions, and tons of junk answers slathered on by rep-bloating cowboys. Some few of us are "playing by different rules," striving to make every solution we post accurate, and possibly of value, over time, for both the OP, and for CodeProject, and often spending as much time posting comments to OP's trying to help clarify what they have/want/need as in posting "solutions."
Your implying that extending a window of time (perhaps 24 hours) for newbies/newcomers to have the opportunity to clarify their questions in response to comments on their original post (before they are deleted) somehow will trigger a flood of poor-quality questions is simply a negative fantasy on your part.
Please note that I did not (and am not) proposing stopping the current practice of quickly killing those posts that are blatantly homework, or so egregiously off-topic and technically inane they "beg" to be eliminated quickly
As someone who has lived in Asia 15 years of his adult life, and had experience teaching at various levels from high-school through college, I am always concerned about the experience of people for whom English is not their native language. Having been the (often undeserving) recipient of tolerance, and friendly suggestions for "course correction," in personal behavior and technical knowledge, I would like to try to "pay some of that forward."
I agree with you that there's a strong relationship between culture and moderation; but, we may have different views on what moderation means.
with respect, Bill
