Why it was deleted: For any number of reasons, your article was considered to be crap by the people that viewed it in its pre-approval state.

Why No Comments: Many people, such as myself, do not leave comments on articles that they don't deem worthy to be submitted. A small subset of that group (such as myself) will only comment on an article if a) its a complete and utter waste of storage space, or b) the article is almost good enough to approve.

How To Make Your Article Suck

0) Improperly format your article. CodeProject's article wizard does its best to help you along in the process, but in the end, it's still up to you to use the Preview button before hitting the Submit button. Poor formatting is not tolerated at all.

1) Struggling with English. It's really too bad if you're not a native English speaker, but that does not absolve you of the responsibility of posting something the rest of us can read. If you have trouble with English, find someone that doesn't, and have them edit your article for you.

2) Don't put your code blocks inside <pre> tags. This royally screws up an articles appearance.

3) Don't explain the code in detail. We're not as interested in witty banter as much as we are interested in understanding how your code works.

4) Post a partially completed article. NEVER EVER sit down to post an article unless you're prepared to finish it in the same session.

5) Leave in parts of the boilerplate text that the article wizard provides you with by default.

Your article probably met one or more of the items above, thus qualifying it for big time sucking.
