Famous last words. It has been approved with the messy code blocks intact. D'Oh! | :doh:

Blind approvers Sigh | :sigh:

Maybe giving no rep points for approvals would help in this?

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?

Better? I think?

I'm not sure why there code snippets aren't scrolling. That's why the remaining one looks messed up.

Thanks,

Yea... much better...

only a tiny thing more... the snippet in Step 5 "a bit" too far right indented and makes it a bit difficult to be read

I know, I know... I sometimes am a bit too perfectionist (or picky Laugh | :laugh:

)

It's the scrolling problem. If it scrolled it wouldn't be a problem. For some reason, that's exactly how he wanted his spacing to be. But I betrayed his dreams and formatted it again.

I know... many people do it like that

var variable = function_call(function_param1(),
                                function_param2(),
                                function_param3());

I actually like it, but publishing in web... people should use the preview or review after publishing that everything is shown as it should

Pity is... in Blogs under moderation is mostly not possible to use the message board to speak with the author

Tell me reason with proof , why my article was delete after a long week of published.

Most deletions are due to the reports of the community. Since your account is still alive, I can exclude offenses like spam / site driving / plagiarism and things like that.
But there are still reasons to get an article vanished as "poor quality", "incomplete / unclear", "misleading", "off-topic"...

I can't tell you the reason because it is already gone, now only CP Staff can.
But you should have received an email informing you about it.

But I cant understand one thing why it was deleted after more than two weeks.

If it was not fit to article section then it can be deleted before publish.

If THIS THINGS WILL HAPPEN Then the interest of publish articles and blogs etc is going down and down and our start up team also suffering due to this.

Writing on bold or "shouting" on capital letters won't give you more right.

Maybe because it took two weeks to get enough people thinking the same.

Unluckily we have some blind "approvers", which leads to situations like this one. We try to avoid it, but it is difficult. It happens with spam as well... sometimes it get through too, and the community reacts later (there are cases where the spam remains years undetected)

Experience with spammers, plagiarists and other really bad "apportations" shows that the interest of people wanting to publish things doesn't get lower. The community just try to keep a better quality on what get published.
On the other hand... I can't really think on a good reason why your team has to "suffer" just because that article got deleted.

Please stop shouting, i.e. using bold text. You have been given an explanation of why the article was removed, and advice on how to learn from the experience. You now have the opportunity to take steps to write something better in the future.

I'm not a site admin but was able to find a deleted article using Google:

Quote:
Closed because this item's quality is too poor to be published. Reported by xxx, yyy , zzz on Friday, January 20, 2017 7:07am

There is also a comment by a reputable CP member (who has not reported the article probably to give you a chance to enhance your article):

Quote:
Please ... take some time to view a few articles on Code Project before posting your own, this post does not meet the standards of Code Project in content and formatting.

The above comment answers your question.

Sean, can you do something with this?

If you are referring to this[^] article, then I am surprised it was even published. If you take out the Visual Studio images, you don't even have half a page of text. If you look at articles by the likes of Marc Clifton, Sacha Barber or Paulo Zemek, you will see that they are much more in depth. At best, what you published was a tip.

And it's completely ok that the download link on the bottom of the article points to a website where I have to register first before I can download it? Isn't there some rule against this?

That's about as spammy as I can tolerate, but hey I guess you all know what you're doing.
