I received a mail today morning station that 10 times members have reported your account at CodeProject as "Content has been posted that is spam". Unfortunately this means your account is now deactivated. Without even giving an explanation which article, they were referring to and giving an chance to the author to examine whether it is true on not. This is really absurd. Hope these people understand, how much it does into writing an article. Instances like these actually make me rethink to write articles here anymore.

What I have tried:

Seems like i had no other option but to create a new account and start afresh.

Thank you for letting us know your new account details: it'll go on the "watch this one" list.

Your account was closed for plagiarism; because you posted material that was copied from elsewhere and claimed it as your own original material.
We do not permit that, and the accounts of such members are closed and do not get reopened.

Your new account will be very closely observed, and will suffer teh same fate if you do teh same again ...

I totally understand OriginalGriff and I really don't mind you monitoring my account. I really appreciate it. But providing a constructive feedback on which place plagiarism was found could have been shared. This would have helped my cause in modifying the content or to scrape it as whole to avoid any such violations.

So that you can hide it better next time?
No chance.

I don't intend to do any as such. You can monitor my account.

OriginalGriff 31-Aug-20 4:32am

You "don't intend"? The point is that you know what you did: you copied someone else's work, tried to tweak it so we wouldn't spot it, and submitted it as your own. That's theft, just like me taking your car every night while you are asleep and driving it round a race track for a few hours before putting it back exactly where I found it. Would you be happy if I did that? Why not? I haven't deprived you of your car; you weren't using it at the time, so where is the problem? Heck, I even put fuel in!

OriginalGriff, I won't like anyone taking ownership of my content nor would i do the same. I have started writing articles over here since june,2020. You can check out my articles and if you find that i have plagiarised content, I would request to block even this account of mine. I would have no objection if i had done so. But, It seems you are not even ready to consider that there could have been confusion involved.

OriginalGriff 31-Aug-20 4:58am

Of course you wouldn't like it. Nobody would.

But that's what you did. You took the hard-effort that other people put into writing and decided to use it as if you had written it. So you did, copy'n'paste, tweak, publish: that's what plagiarism is, and we are pretty good at spotting it.

End of conversation.

The usual place to post this sort of thing would probably be Bugs and Suggestions[^] - that way the management will see and adjudicate if you're being treated unfairly
