As long as it takes. Check that your feed is working and that your blogs are being published.

This[^] got approved but images are not being displayed and downloads are offsite.
I already contacted the owner, but if he doesn't take any action... would you mind to repair it? Thanks

Hi all,
I'm trying to update a somewhat older article.
Articles by HawVie (Article: 1) - CodeProject[^]
And when I edit the editor flashes and than disappears. How can I fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
HawVie

If you use Edge, try a different browser. There are issues with Edge (or at least have been, maybe there are new issues).

I can reproduce the problem. It appears to be a TypeError in the editor JavaScript:
TypeError: d is undefined ckeditor.js:580:155

This [^] looks like a blog, but I haven't seen anything in the revisions history to indicate a change. If it is not a blog then I think it should be a tip better than an article.
On the other side... downloads are offsite.

Recently my article was deleted because of abuse of the third party category.
"Unfortunately, due to abuse, we have been forced to reconsider all of our third party submissions that demonstrate how to use third party products or services and look at each one more judiciously. The likely result is we will get rid of them all together."
I didn't tell people to buy any product.
I followed all the rules, do not work for DocuSign and put a lot of effort in making a nice presentation. Could you guys just put it under another category?
Thanks in advance.

So what was happening was companies were hiring evangelists or technical writers to write articles that teach readers about or how to use their products. They would pay them and it would look on the up and up - the author didn't seem to have any apparent ties to the company and the company would get visibility for their product and links to their site. Then we would stumble across these posts, think they were fishy, remove them, and start hearing through our sales team that the marketing department of the company who's article we just deleted, "why can't we just post this one little article?" Big companies, small companies. And not one or two times. Many, many, times.
You're a long time member and I have no doubt you're just writing an article about how Docusign helped you in the hopes that it helps others. The sad fact is that if we allow your article, it becomes grounds to accept the articles of the aforementioned scenarios. It's not fair and we don't like to do it this way, but it got too hairy out there and the people who abused the system ruined it for everyone else.
Now, if people want to write an article about a problem they solved or a method they used to get around a problem they experienced in a third party product or service, that's more than welcome. A-OK.
Thanks,

another quick question... does this effect my ranking?

If you mean reputation points, I think once the reputation history gets synced (I forget how often this happens) then yes, I believe it would remove the reputation points associated with that article. Apologies.
But it shouldn't affect your Silver status, as I'd estimate it to be around 100ish points.

So from now on, when an article like this (Decrypt SQL Server Objects - CodeProject[^]) appears in the moderation queue, it shouldn't be approved? Which report action should be taken?

Report the article as "spam/abusive" but not the account, if you please. Although this appears to be free, is that the case? Then it's OK.
However, if it is associated with a paid component, no matter how tenuously, it is not OK. I've been meaning to get that little bit added to the submission guidelines.
Thanks,

You may post an update about it so all moderators be aware of the changes...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

If you edit the guidelines, you might edit the sticky post in the Spam and abuse watch, so everyone get informed

What about this?
Continuous Integration with Teamcity - CodeProject[^]
It seems to have a free version with less functionality and a professional one to be bought.

Sean,
a suggestion regarding the potentially to-be removed articles on commercial third-party products:
Maybe you can find a way to let them stay available to CP-members but not indexable by search engines — which should mostly achieve the goal of not serving as a free advertisement platform for the respective companies? Not admitting new such articles notwithstanding.
Alternatively maybe offering the removed articles as a time-limited download?
It just occurred to me that I'll soon need some helpful resources with DevExpress stuff and it would be a shame if the articles at that point have been removed without a trace
cheers,
Sascha

This is the second time your removing this article, I took your advice and changed to be more about my experience using the this tool as a Rest API.
My understanding was this article was removed because I had placed it in the Third Party tools section. I believe my edits and re-submission of this article NOT in the Third party conform to your what you wrote above "
Now, if people want to write an article about a problem they solved or a method they used to get around a problem they experienced in a third party product or service, that's more than welcome. A-OK. "
This was written about an experience I personally had and how I used this to help. In addition I removed DocuSign from the title since this is really about using their Rest API.
There is definitely added value, I already received a question on using the tags to be positioned by searched string rather than position on a page.
