If a revised article that requires moderation is always treated as if it should go onto the front page, I'd call that a site defect rather than deliberate abuse by its author.
Fair enough...

What more or less was my question
But I am not going to report it, just wanted to know if I am missing something or not, because I can't find any good reason for those minimal changes done, and even less after 14 years without touching.

Hi Codeproject editor,
C++: Windows Toast Notification
Some text is squashed together but is correct when viewed in the article editor. The formatting must have gone wrong during automatic parsing/transforming/preparation for publishing.
Even my profile description at the bottom is in the red code tag (probably caused by an unclosed <code> tag)
Can you take a look?
Edit: found another article with the same problem: Making HTTP REST Request in C++

Thanks very much for the report. There was an error with the article editor that has now been fixed.
Thanks,

Hello, I added my company's RSS feed yesterday as a Technical Blog but the first article was reported as spam and the account was closed. In reviewing the submission rules, I understand that the article contained callouts to the tool and therefore should not have been submitted. My apologies for this.
Going forward, I would like to only submit the most technical articles from our blog - some of our articles are career advice or thought leadership - and I will remove any CTAs or free download prompts.
When adding the blog feed again the prompt says "Feed already added, contact us." which I am doing here. Can someone help me resubmit the RSS feed? Thank you.

Hi Everett,
I'd be happy to help with this. First could I look at some examples from your blog, and could you please let me know the CodeProject account that added the blog to our site?
Thanks,

Thanks very much for that. Would you be willing to have all links and references to Arctype removed from your posts when they are published on CodeProject?
Thanks,

Yes! We definitely want to follow the rules of the forum. I think there's an original link that is shown at the bottom of the articles and that should be just fine!
|
|
|

|

I see that, okay that is definitely acceptable! Thank you for taking the time to look at this.

Thanks Everett. I have restored the account you were sharing the blog from. I recommend as soon as our aggregator pulls in your blog entries, that you go in and edit out the links and mentions of Arctype as soon as possible (as shown here):
Code Project Technical Blog FAQ[^]
Because the account has been flagged once, as soon as the members see the blog post with the links in it, they will flag the account again and remove it. If I happen to catch it before you do, I will edit out the links and mentions.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Got it, really appreciate the advice. We'll move fast on editing these.

I get a virus warning when I try to download DriveDetector_demo.zip WHY?
|
|
|
|

Sorry for the delay, I just saw your message right now.
It would not be the first time that some antivirus get a false positive with the annexed items of an article. I am not saying you can trust the download blindly. It is good that you tell about this issue, but would be better if you post a link to the article, if not the admins won't be able to check it.

In the message pinned at the top of this forum, two of the links are broken:

Hi CP
I've written a tool to count the number of times unique IP addresses occur in zipped raw access logs and I'd like to share it with CP but can't work out where best to post it.
I wrote it to quickly identify aggressive bots on my website so I can block them by IP address.

I would say an article with a good explanation and the source code to download would be the best option.
About sections... I think it could be in:
If it works online
- Web Development >> Applications and Tools
or
- Web Development >> Trace and Logs
or if it works offline (you download the logs and work locally)
- Desktop Development >> Miscelaneous
or
- General programming >> Internet / Network
Not sure if that is what you asked though

I think Nelek's suggestions are good. If when it comes time to post and you're still not sure, just fire me an email (sean@codeproject.com) and I'll be happy to place it for you.

Hi Sean
I decided to go with jeron1's suggestion of starting in the 'Free Tools' forum but I'm unable to post a screenshot there as I can here...
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe Free Tools Discussion Boards[^] if you are not looking to create an article.
"the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment
"Facebook is where you tell lies to your friends. Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers." - chriselst
"I don't drink any more... then again, I don't drink any less." - Mike Mullikins uncle

Good idea jeron1.
I'll start with 'Free Tools' and see if there's any interest in me writing an article.
|
|
|
|
|
Free tools is mostly used to give a heads up to other people about freeware found in the net.
Not to post / explain about the self-done things
If you are hosting a direct download to your tool, then it might get there. But if you are trying to use images and give a small explanation you can use the Tip/Trick instead of an article (shorter form) or the project type.
