Was that before or after it was edited and the URL removed?

After. Does editing affect the vote count?

I'm not sure, but I suspect it does. Would make sense, now I think about it.

Not just a poor article, this one is kit form: How to Setup Angular 8 App[^]
From this: Member 12233755 - Professional Profile[^]
Pick a paragraph at random, and find some good eanglish. Google that and you'll find it.
For example, the Node.js section:

Quote:
Node js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser

Is copied from wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js[^] - you'll have to manually compare, because the original is heavy on links which mess up the Chrome page text search.

I have already reported some of his items.

After telling him something in several occasions, I have almost never got an answer. He just comes from time to time, floods the moderation queue with several blogs at once and disappears again for a while.

I am personally and particularly not happy with the blogs as they are right now.
An article with a link, gets banned, but a blog with tens of links back to the blog is OK. For me that's still site driving and, on the other hand, a bit of double morals here.
The auto fed and blog moderation have still some bugs, they come with sh*tty formats in a big % of cases (specially when the author don't use the CP format in his blog), you can't post any message in a blog that has not been approved yet...
I would personally opt out the auto feed from the site.

EDIT: See? Now there are 8 blogs at once...

M.D.V.

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Spam Article - How to Change AOL Password? - gone

14-Aug-19 17:14

As far as I can see the latest blog posts seem to have excessive amounts of links, not only to other posts but also different training materials, download instructions, and also links for twitter.

An example from the latest posts What is SQLite3? or Ten Things a Junior DBA Should Learn

Sometimes they also contain links to paid products, for example SQL Truncate and Delete contains two links for products or services.

Perhaps @sean-ewington could have a chat with the author if needed.
