Sorry, I didn’t notice the checkbox "don't publish"

And after all that, it turns out to be spam.

I have made an article with an explanation what the code do. It points out to GitHub repository, where the entire code base is present. It has been deleted. There are similar articles on same topic, Tetris game published on this site, there are more than 33 000 such project on GitHub, why this one has been deleted? It provides short explanation of the code, major things are explained well, no need to explain everything, and working prototype of project is displayed. If someone like it, they can easily go and see how the game is made.
But why deleting the entire article?

You can restore your article and make changes. There is nothing wrong with an article about the falling blocks game, but what we would ask is that you made some additions to discuss and show more of the code. CodeProject is more about teaching and learning about code, than it is tool or app sharing. (Also to prevent threatening legal letters being sent to the site, can you please call it "falling blocks?")
You should have received this email which will help you to some useful resources:
CodeProject is more about code sharing rather than tool sharing. So we would ask you to make some changes to the article to discuss more how the tool works (showing and describing examples of that code) rather than telling us what it does.
CodeProject articles have a certain layout to follow, so that users can learn the most from them. Each article attempts to answer the following questions: What problem does this solution solve? How does this help someone else? How does the code actually work? What is going on inside the code snippets?
Here is a submission from a first time author who did a terrific job, just to give you a basic overview of what a beginner article might looks like:
Avoiding InvokeRequired[^]
For tips on writing articles, please see this article:

There are currently at least five articles mentioning the word for falling block game on the site, they have been there for years and it appears not to be a problem.
Anyway, if this article is causing such trouble, it is better not to share it here or not to share it in current form, but with changed label and more explanations, maybe few code examples. The source code is slightly larger and it will be difficult and non-user friendly if I have to use the approach with code snippets or code screen-shots, as I did in my previous articles.

Some years ago we received a cease and desist from the people who own the game, so yes, it was a problem.
If some have managed to be published in that time I will go through today and rename them all.
Thanks,

That's because you don't have enough reputation points yet. And judging by your avatar, you might be interested in posting football nonsense, in which case your account won't last long.

Hello there,
My article is closed. My Article will be very useful to learn expression parsing which is used internally in many applications such as Excel, Calculator, complicated hedging calculations etc..
[Article:5269048]
Please provide appropriate feedback while closing. This will help us to fix issues
Thanks in advance,
NBK

I think I've told you why three times now: on each of the previous times you've posted this up.
Never mind, let's try a fourth...
The code is "student grade" at best: for example just look at what you do each time you try to get a value from your stack.
It adds nothing new to the sum of human knowledge, and it benefits no-one except other students looking for some software they can hand in as their own work.
The explanation is vague, the images aren't your own work, I have some doubts if you wrote the words.
Do you really think that in the real world we sit here writing calculators all day, and get paid for it?
Basically, it's a poor article, and that's why it has been rejected four times now.
Please, look at some of the existing articles here to get an idea of the standard we expect.
Here's one of mine: Using struct and class - what's that all about?[^]
And here's a tip which is a lot more "code focussed": Creating a Simple "scratch card" Control in WinForms[^]
We moderators aren't here to make your life difficult, or to be nasty - quite the reverse, we protect the site from not-ready articles, and authors from the derision and downvotes that poorer articles can receive. And to be a moderator, you have to write articles, so we know what it feels like when you slave away on something and Joe Moron from Stupidity High School, Kansas finds out it's not what he needs to hand in as his homework ... 
If we let this though as it stands, it would - at best - be ignored, and more likely downvoted into oblivion.
Do yourself a favour: back that code up and hide it for six months. Then come back and give it a good code review in the light of your experience then. You will cringe at the thought of sharing that with the world...

Thanks OriginalGriff for your feedback. Last three times, your feedback(s) disappeared from codeproject before I could read. Fortunately, this time I could read all your reasons, understand and self introspect. My sincere thanks for taking time to write this feedback - it really helps!
Please do not doubt, It's my own words. Except that part, all of your feedback(s) are taken with good spirit. I am going to work on each item before submitting again. Also, thanks for two of your sample articles. It will help me
Thanks again and Have a happy Memorial day weekend
Best Regards,
NBK

Seriously, don't bother with this one - student grade calculators are a dime a dozen, and the world doesn't need any new ones. Wait until you have a reasonable level of experience, and then write about something new and interesting: something that stands a good chance of getting through rather than an old, tired, done-to-death concept with poor code!
And you should check your email: all messages get sent to your login email address, as well as appearing on the boards.

Can it be that he deactivated the options?

More likely he signed up with a "burn email" like mailinator.

I didn't receive emails as well. However, I read your response now
This Article is not just calculator. Expression parsing is primary focus in this Project/ Article.
I agree, I need to improve design/ code of this project.
I disagree, expression parsing/ Calculator is a dozen per dime. Advanced Math expression parser is used in google sheets, High performance financial calculations, Big data processing, AI etc. Take a look at an innovative usage of calculator in this very same forum, applauded
A Calculator Control Box[^][^]
With advent of standard libraries, many forgot how to build expression parsing. This article is a refresher for them. Also, it helps a beginner to understand expression parsing. Who knows, one such beginner will build an expression parser that is way more efficient which can compute all combinations of DNA mutations. May be, that could create individualized Cancer drug in future.
Criticizing my present work is welcome. But putting down my future work is prejudice

Please don't overreact... nobody "put your work down", your version didn't get approved... well.
Do you want to publish it? Improve it and it will get through.

Then do it. I took a look to the article and being myself a beginner in Parsing, I don't remember to have seen anything that got my attention or gave me a "a-ha" moment.

Almost everything is possible at least in one of the endless parallel dimensions.

Yeah, but it's disabled for CP.
They showed up again after I opened and closed the article editor - perhaps opening it had some effect on it all?
