It's a standard joke in my company for whenever marketing comes with a badly thought through feature request. (almost always that means)

Then you have come to the wrong place.

I see that you're new to Code Project. First of all, please let me welcome to the community - it's a great place to be, and people will generally try to help out. Saying that, there are a couple of things that you should be aware of.
First of all, this part of the site is intended for people who want to suggest a new feature for the site, or who want to report a bug in the site. This isn't the place to pose a programming question.
Second point - people will help you with issues. They are highly unlikely to just hand over fully working systems for you. If you're lucky, you might find an article that does exactly want and that's great; the articles are what makes this site great after all. If there are no articles, then people will answer specific programming problems, but you have to show that you have tried things, and you should highlight where things are going wrong.

Normally I just nuke these misplaced threads but nuking this would be liking kicking a stranger who unexpectedly opens a door for you.
You're a good man, Pete.

He sure is. After reading arrogant and often technically shallow responses from people, and assuming even momentarily that the site's not what it used to be, you then come across guys like Pete and feel comfortable in that - for every idiot out there, CP has intelligent, smart-thinking folks like Pete!

 You're making me blush guys. I'd like to think that the vast majority of people here would respond in a similar way. People here are generally pretty good.

Hi CP Admins,
I am Mohammed Hameed, the CP account holder for email Id: hameed dot in at hotmail dot com.
Currently using CP from the currently logged in account: hameed dot in at gmail dot com as my previous account is blocked.
Please consider this as my humble request to reactivate my account as currently it is blocked some months ago. I don't know why it has been blocked, may be unknowingly have done something which is not acceptable as per CP rules.
I have been using that account for more than 6 years now and I am the Article writer for the popular article: Code Review Checklist and Guidelines for C# Developers
and I want to write some more articles using this account.
Thanks.

I've looked into the things you posted on the days you were reported. Your account was not closed for an isolated incident, but rather over time. I would say to please avoid posting links to third party sites and products, and avoid accepting your own solution as the answer wherever possible.
Thanks,

Hey Sean,
What's the deal with that? What's wrong in accepting your own answer if it's the best of the lot? (You could suppress rep score points if you think that's going to lead to cheating). But to force someone into picking the 2nd best solution merely because it'll get you banned from the site seems like a quirky approach.

If you wanted to make a new separate suggestion to suppress rep points when you accept your own solution, I'm sure it would be something for the team / community to mull over.
My impression is that it isn't a huge problem, though.
In this case, of the questions asked that had solutions, a fairly large percentage were self solutions. Were they all legitimate situations? I want to believe so. But the more self solutions you accept, the more people might wonder. What I was trying to get at was more along the lines of, "if 80% of the solutions on your questions are your own solution, maybe try and lower that percentage a bit."
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Ok, thanks Sean. It's possible that the OP was doing that sort of thing as an easy way to pad up his rep score. I was just wondering why CP has a policy against someone marking their answer as the solution. If CP does not, then that's a good thing in my opinion.

No, AFAIK there is no policy about it but, the problem is that many, many times the people doing that answers themselves within minutes. So... if it was so easy, why ask?
90% of that people doing that get a pattern and when they get discovered, they get most of them time nuked.
If the user self answered after a reasonable period of time, then it usually is a legitime solution. I have seen that more times and nothing happens. It is just the result of hard work and willing to help people coming in similar situation, and that is the purpose of the site.
However, there are people less patient or tolerant, or it might be a user that at once self answers several of his own questions. Then the probability of getting reported is higher.
In addition, the reports are still in perpetual mode.
That's how Nagy got nuked. And that's why the suggestion to have a deadline for the reports to vanish after a reasonable lapse of time was made. Spamers / Abusers and other people like get nuked by the CP Guard quite fast.
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

There is no Problem at all. I like codeproject very much.
Just I am not a coder any longer. That's all!

We can delete your account if you wish to, but i'd suggest you to wait. Maybe, you'll be back to programming

When I am back to programming I will create a new account then.
I would appreciate you delete my account. Thx!

There is. On the bottom of the page (only goes up to 10 or 11 tho).

I think he means a textbox, where you enter the page number.
There have been times I would have liked to have that.
