Re: Is this allowed for blogs? - Article Writing Discussion Boards

For me too... but I don't want to report it without having asked first.

I agree with Pete - it's site-driving spam.

The same message is on almost all of his blog posts: Technical Blogs[^]

This guy is giving me a headache.

I've already deleted most of his articles for being too similar. I've gone through, removed the links at the bottom of the articles and sent him a warning. If he does it again, descend.

thanks sean, if I get him another time... should I tell you? or just fire in the hole?

I have the depth charges primed and ready.

Blog fed 20 mins ago and another time with the same text... Not sure if it is a new one, or maybe he is editing and rolling back to the previous version

I have made a search with "Kevin AND ng", there were over 30 items, many already deleted, but many others with the link on the middle of the text as a "side note"

I am not sure if he is going to learn the lesson with good manners.

Looks like it's a new violation. Time to take action.

Look at the series starting with this article:
Learning MVC - Part 1: Introduction to MVC Architecture and Separation of Concerns[^]
IMHO, none of the single parts makes it into an article (we actually have to open a 'slideshow' category for these)... Maybe combined (and 95% of the images replaced with some work)...

Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I agree with you.
But I was told by Chris that articles is the default cathegory, if it doesn't fits the "consumable in 30 seconds" then it should be an article.

In this case I haven't checked all the items in the serie, but the first one I would place it more in "poor quality" than in "worng type" kind of report.

And the first is maybe have the most quality... others are going than and in the middle there are parts that no more than image gallery... And the 'author' shows-off with thousands of reputation points (that probably helped him to gain MVP too) from this poor quality... Very disappointing...

Account is a group with almost 500 members. That can give some help with friends.

This is well below the usual quality for Akhil. I'm surprised.

GridView with Server Side Advanced Search Implementation using JQuery DataTables in ASP.NET MVC 5[^] is going to need extern help. I hope it doesn't get approved like this.

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

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

Better? I think?

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

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.
