Changing Console Text & Background Color[^]
With regards to the article mentioned above, I feel that in addition to C++, it would be good to have C# sample as well as C# is more relevant. Would like to know what others feel about this article...

I feel that the article would fit better as a Tip.
I don't see what language choice has to do with the moderation of an article, though. If an author chooses to write their article/tip in C++ then it's exactly that, a C++ article/tip. It should not be held back just because it's not your language of choice or because another language is more "relevant".

Agree, thanks for your thoughts on both points, this being better as a Tip than an article and the point regarding language.

Why GuiLite is the Simplest GUI Library?[^]
This is what you typically see on a website for a software product - a sales brochure, and not much more.
I can't believe it was approved.

Thanks for pointing that one out. It's been removed.

It came back the following day: Why GuiLite is the Simplest GUI Library?[^] and yes, I was one of those that approved it ...

Yep - we're actively working on this. It's a continuation of what those guys have been doing for the last few weeks. Looks like they have up'd the ante and intent on wasting our time.

Article : C Program for Strassen's Matrix Multiplication of Any Order (Power of 2)[^]
This article is horrible. It is very little more than a header file dump. It has no discussion of the implementation or examples of use or anything else that would be helpful.
I can't believe it was approved. I would have voted against it if I had seen it before.

The article has been deleted.

The #1 Rule of Cryptography[^]
This guy has been writing a series of blog posts and I think this one was mis-categorized. It is way too short to be an article so I think it should be another of his blog posts.
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"

|

Agree. I've recategorised it.

Thanks for the report. I have sent the author a message about the links in the articles.

I see the classic review need message in the homepage (box on the right with article/tips list), but there is no link to the pages, just the name of the user which "posted" the article.
Seems like a bug of some sort for me... anyone else?

SQL Server Brute Force Attack Detection[^]
In the third paragraph, the text "... paid software solutions exists ..." is a link to a commercial product. Seems like it would qualify as spam, but the rest of the article looks useful.
Maybe one for @Sean-Ewington to judge? 
Edit: The user has removed the link: SQL Server Brute Force Attack Detection[^]

We had a network upgrade this weekend that has caused some file system issues. They are working on it now and should be sorted out very soon.
[Update: all fixed]

Maybe @sean-ewington can have a word with him. It is a long time member with many articles so I decided to post it here.
In the C++ Tip: Erase-remove Idiom Revisited[^] he cited from the C++17 STL Cookbook without proper indication:
Quote: Deleting items from somewhere in the middle of an std::vector takes O(n) time. This is because the resulting gap from removing an item must be filled by moving all the items which come after the gap one slot to the back.
While moving items around like this, which might be expensive if they are complex and/or very large and include many items, we preserve their order. If preserving the order is not important, we can optimize this, as this section shows.
That is followed by naming the author and the source:
Quote: Jacek Galowicz, author of C++17 STL Cookbook propose his quick_remove_at function for removing elements from std::vector by moving the last element to removed position.
But the citing is not indicated and from reading it is not clear that it is a citation.

Thanks for the catch. Words are being had.

No, it is not OK unless it is for a download that you're already hosting on CodeProject. I've removed the link and warned the author.
