Oh, BTW: remember that changes to the article cause the whole thing to go back to moderation, so try to make sure they don't accidentally find their way back later, eh?

I see other members can edit the articles.
So accidentally one can just simply add a link to some random company site to someone's article to make its whole account banned as well as its entire content, am I understand correctly?

If someone else edits your article, you will receive an email. Make sure you check it if they do.
Although, I can't see people maliciously doing this, especially because it's so easy to track down who did it because audit trails are kept.

Most members can't (and those of us that can generally don't, except Staff and they are paid to tidy things up).
But as Pete says, if they do, you get an email identifying who did - so you can rollback the changes are report them if necessary. Even then, it would go to moderation.

1) There is a log about the edits in the "revisions" link of your article. We can all see if it was your edit or someone else's. And we check it before reporting.
2) The reports are related to concrete items. Only CP Staff can nuke all contents at once. We can only get one account or one article at a time, but yes. If the link is in several articles and all get reported, then all will get nuked. But as I already said, we are a big group of people and we check first before reporting.
We still are humans and can have errors yes, but it is very unusual.

Check the article: it has two separate authors: Shvetsov Evgeniy, and SimbirSoft

I would delete this group account with the name and publicity of the company. Your other personal account might still say that you work here in the user profile (as you already do, and that's the polite way to do it and the one most of the users use).
But this "company" group is a step too far.

Hi Nelek!
Can you please give a bit more details about the problem?
And how we can fix that?
Thank you!

It got approved with weird font and no snippets and a new version without visible changes is there with a lot of reports, but the author is not reacting.

Wrong forum; this is for question on articles that you have written. However, before reposting elsewhere please add some proper details to your question. As it stands it is difficult to understand what your problem is.

I am not sure if it is something to report in B&S forum, so I will ask first here.
There are a couple of the last approved articles that have problems with images and / or the snippets.
i.E. Dependency injection in "WCF Service Library" project with Self hosting[^]
But they are approved by people like @OriginalGriff or @Wendelius so I suppose they (the articles) were not having such a problem when in moderation.
@Sean-Ewington could would you mind to have a look? Is it something happening once approved? Or am I having aproblem (IE, FF and Chrome tested, same issues in all 3 browsers)?

That's weird, if I recall correctly, when in moderation, the article contained a picture with a small stormtrooper walking on the sand.

Some images are disappearing from articles but we're having trouble reproducing the problem. We're still looking into it.
Thanks,

Not only the images... it seems that snippets format are disappearing too

Hi,
When I try to edit my article, I get the following message: Unfortunately you do not have permission to edit this article.
Can you please fix this?

I'm trying to submit another article, but the formatting is weird and the dropdowns' and text formatting doesn't seem to work. I never had that issue for previous articles. I've tried different browsers as well as different PCs.Any suggestions?

Hello,
My Article SQL Wrapping Class[^]
Was suddenly deleted, The reason was:
because it is of insufficient quality as judged by our readers and editors
By Sean Ewington
There was 3500 views, 10 votes, 3 bookmark.
Please take note that one of your editor "Deeksha Shenoy" update the article and makes change as what is fit the "submission guidelines" and that was at 2019, June 18, What is the insufficient quality?
It was better to advice and suggest correction tips rather than delete the entire article.
I ask to have my article back and ready for any correction.
Regards,
|

I can't tell you why it was flagged for deletion, but I can have a pretty good guess: your code is vulnerable to SQL Injection[^].
Quote: The Value property will be rendered to a pattern by adding the % character at the beginning and the end of it:
Database.Table.Name = "Customers"
Database.Table.AliasName = "cust"
With Database.Table.Query.Items
.Add("cust.CustomerId")
.Add("cust.ContactName")
.Add("cust.City", "Lon", QItem.Types.WHERE_LIKE)
End With
The generated SQL Statement will be:
SELECT cust.CustomerId,cust.CompanyName,cust.ContactName,cust.City _
FROM dbo.Customers cust WHERE cust.City LIKE N'%Lon%';
NEVER use string concatenation to build a SQL query. ALWAYS use a parameterized query.

I would be very surprised if Sean and others hadn't left you a message explaining this critical security vulnerability in your code before closing your article.
There's nothing stopping you from re-submitting the article once you've fixed the vulnerability.

What surprises me, is that it got approved a couple of times. Maybe someone should give a heads up to the first approvers
BTW... the thirs link... not valid anymore. They moved it to GitHub
