But it does have a paid version, which means your article is connected (no matter how tenuously) to a paid version.
I'm sure you're just here to help. It's not just a matter of not accepting your article that uses a free version, it's also a matter of making sure that future, less scrupulous authors (who are really only there to promote the paid version of their product) can't point to your article and say, "well this article is allowed, why isn't mine?"
It's not fair, but, there are too many people who would take advantage of the situation so it has to be this way.

Does it makes sense if I remove Travis and use any other free CI tool (say Jenkins) and demonstrates the same thing(I mean the original idea of blog will remain the same) and republish the same blog, will it gets accepted/ published? If yes, I will work on this and submit again.

Yes that would be acceptable.

Hey Sean, hope you are doing well. As promised, I have updated my content to point to jenkins (Java integration test with dockerized DB in jenkins[^]. This has most of thing mentioned in original article, but did some customisation to match with existing content. Please let me know, how I can request to un-delete it , so that it can be reviewed and if suitable, will be published.

Good catch. I have removed all the links and made sure they were blog entries.

I am aware that off-site driving is not allowed on CodeProject, but does CodeProject allow an ethical amount of site drive for some senior authors?
Check this blog under moderation for example, Ten Things a Junior DBA Should Learn, and let me know how to react in moderation.
I have read several articles by the author, and he has amazing library.

It's the nature of allowing anyone to post their blog entries. You very often find this blog author where, most of their stuff is fine, but occasionally you get a very link-heavy post. Which is fine for their blog, it's what you're supposed to do. And a lot of these authors just just share all their blog entries with CodeProject. Historically, they don't have the desire to go in and manually remove the links on their blog entries. And the majority of their content isn't bad enough to remove them entirely.
Please just report individual entries to me (sean@codeproject.com or you can use the report tool) and I'll go in and take a look and either manually remove links, or remove the post entirely.
Just as aside to anyone who sees this, just because you find ONE article that is bad by an author, doesn't mean you need to blindly report all EIGHTY of an author's works. Yea, they should be checked out, but please for the love of God, if you're going to report it, take a quick look to see if it's bad BEFORE you report it.

Yep, that sounds fair enough.
Strangely enough, I didn't get a notification for your reply, just checked the recent reply and found this answer too.

Simply the "Background" section and it's references to the company both of you work for caused me to raise it as "probable spam" in the reports forum in the first place - and the community agreed. That's part of the moderation process: content, plagiarism, and spam are all "judged".
Generally, we don't communicate directly to potential spammers to warn them of what is happening (we don't want it "better hidden", we don't want it at all! (Think about it, this site is paid for by advertising - so spam undermines the revenue stream and thus the viability of the site. Since we - the community - want the site to continue, we get protective about spam.)
Remove the links, and it's a good article - you could try submitting it again without referencing your company at all and it should get through. And then we'll think about getting the "spammer" tags on your account reversed before you get banned ...

Hi, OriginalGriff!
Many thanks for a detailed answer!
The reference to a company is removed.
Hope it is ok now.

|

|

You're welcome!
Looks OK now - I've removed the spam report, and asked the admins to reverse the spammer reports on your IDs.

Oh, BTW: remember that changes to the article cause the whole thing to go back to moderation, so try to make sure they don't accidentally find their way back later, eh?

I see other members can edit the articles.
So accidentally one can just simply add a link to some random company site to someone's article to make its whole account banned as well as its entire content, am I understand correctly?

If someone else edits your article, you will receive an email. Make sure you check it if they do.
Although, I can't see people maliciously doing this, especially because it's so easy to track down who did it because audit trails are kept.

Most members can't (and those of us that can generally don't, except Staff and they are paid to tidy things up).
But as Pete says, if they do, you get an email identifying who did - so you can rollback the changes are report them if necessary. Even then, it would go to moderation.

1) There is a log about the edits in the "revisions" link of your article. We can all see if it was your edit or someone else's. And we check it before reporting.
2) The reports are related to concrete items. Only CP Staff can nuke all contents at once. We can only get one account or one article at a time, but yes. If the link is in several articles and all get reported, then all will get nuked. But as I already said, we are a big group of people and we check first before reporting.
We still are humans and can have errors yes, but it is very unusual.
