No, I'd agree with you, it would be harsh.
But... The OP wasn't new, he had been here long enough to know the rules. And as he said earlier, he had tried twice before. Whether those were copies as well I don't know.

Sometimes they duration that shows in profile could not be a case to suggest that user is here for long enough. I see lot of people sign up here for some code download and don;t come back again for long.
But it is also true that we don't have any alternate way to identify this as well.
Anyway it is just a basic common sense to know that plagiarism is an offence.

He might have written both at the same time and would have made the same mistake. I too haven't seen that so not sure on that.
.AK.

The material was copied from another persons work, and claimed as yours when you posted it having checked the box marked "I have read and agree to the contributor's agreement" and pressed "Publish". The agreement clearly states:
Ownership.
You represent, warrant, and confirm that:
No Infringement: To the best of your knowledge and belief, after reasonable inquiry, your Work does not knowingly infringe the rights of any third party, including but not limited to, rights in copyrights, patents, trade marks, service marks, trade secrets, privacy, personality, or other proprietary rights.You have necessary Rights to your Work: You are the author of the Work and have not assigned your rights or had such rights vest in any third party by contract, operation of law or otherwise or if not the author, you have secured all necessary rights and licenses from the owner(s); and you have the right to grant the rights and licenses contained herein.
Copy and paste from anothers work is an infringement of that, and as all moderators have produced articles we know just how hard it is to write one. Our sympathies are thus with the original author who poured blood, sweat and tears into getting the words right: all so you could press CTRL+A, CTRL+C, ALT+TAB, CTRL+V then claim you wrote it.
That is abuse. And you had been here long enough to know that.

I agree I had registered long back, that was to download some code. But yesterday was my first attempt at writing on codeproject.
Can i get a second chance ?

I did it very hard believe that you didn't know that copying someone else's work is nit acceptable. That's not a rule just on this site but EVERYWHERE that is respectable. This includes other websites, at work and in schools and universities.

So, is there any way I can re-open my account that has been closed ?

Oh that last answer is subtler. If you read the article it references, the article is also spam for Ozeki.
|
|
|
|

That is pretty subtle!
I'm in two minds about that - the article isn't blatant and it's been helpful to a lot of people by the looks of it, so I'm tempted to leave it there unmolested, but...it is spam...

Ultimately, the reader would have to pay for the library as the "trial version" is limited, so it's gotta be spam.

Yeah - I looked at the site and saw the trial was limited.
It's gotta go!
Don't you just love it when posting a bit of spam in the wrong place means the total spam count of the universe ends up reduced?

Yeah, that is the same reason I did not report that article here. Those guys are actually quite good at delivering their spam articles - you and I have previously discussed one of 'their' articles here, which eventually did get approved and occasionally comes into the moderation queue with updates.
I am not sure I would have reported the article Pete reported above if the author had responded to posts in the Comment section, but 1 Article and 1 Message in over 6 years has a certain smell to it.

Answer list empty and user with 11 atm (probably not all choose the same report, or there is delay in server)
