That was "Ashutosh Gpt"
And he was closed for serial plagiarism.
His articles have been under suspicion for a while, but the latest one was blatantly stolen from MS.
His account is gone, and will not be returned - we really, really don't like plagiarists here - and he knew exactly what he was doing, that was obvious from the content. If you don't want to lose your account, don't steal others work and claim it as your own: all moderators write articles, so we know how hard it can be to produce good quality original material and we don't appreciate people "taking a short cut".

we really understand mr OriginalGriff, this is mistake happened unknwongly. i would like to explain the in detail.
if you have close look on this article has two parts, first part was concept which was referred from Microsoft doc and second part was implementation.. we thought writing just implementation will not sufficient for readers hence had to refer Microsoft doc. i truly agree with plagiarism and rules of code project. we event wanted to add references as Microsoft doc at the end but was not fully sure to do that.
this is lesson learnt for us and wrote a the same thing in mail to webmaster. give us one chance to rectify and continue to help this community. that is what our passion. we joined this community to help other by answering, writing article(but not cost of copying other data).. we try to write our story with reference of few book and forum and tey with 99% unique data.
please consider our request this time and give one chance to show case by re activating
thank you.

it was not referred, it was copied without any reference.

Then you have already done all what you could do, that is the email to webmaster and the thread here. Be patient and wait for their decission.
Member 14678311 wrote: give us one chance to rectify
we can't. We have some privileges, but still are only users. Only CP Staff can reinstaurate. But I don't think they will, as it has already been explained.

I think it is a new account, and the same person is posting on behalf of their "room mate". 
As explained by OG and others, plagiarists get multiple warnings before an account is closed.
If that could not serve as a lesson, nothing else will.

"My roommate" agrees with your investigation.

So do I, but I still give the benefit of the doubt.
GKP1992 wrote: If that could not serve as a lesson, nothing else will.
That's exactly the reason why the accounts are not reanimated anymore. They don't learn. And that's exactly what I wanted to say with the "then create a new account" as answer to the "continue to help this community. that is what our passion." because I don't think the nuked account will live again.

You seem to be doing an awful lot for your "roommate". What are the odds that you live alone in that room?

The plagiarism prevention policy triumphs your feelings. In other words, it's far more important for this site not to host plagiarised content, rather than ensuring that you "feel good".
Besides, may be let your roommate talk for himself and explain why he was plagiarising to begin with, and then a site admin might take a look at it.
Also, "my friend" does not appreciate you hijacking this thread for your plagiarist friend.

It seems fairly simple to me. If a member's account is voted out for being a spammer, then check for their valid posts to spam post ratio (check the votes). If the ratio seemed alarming, then take those posts down (at least hide it so it's not publicly displayed so it could be reinstated if necessary).
Some good checks to see if the member had just joined the site, say less than a month or so as spammers don't wait. If the member has published an article or has been answering questions, or have tips/tricks that are well received. There should be several factors that would indicate which direction to move in, and it is most certainly not as complicated as you're laying it out to be.

It does not seem complicated unless you are the one who has to set it up.

Yeah, I would happily set it up if I had access to the code. Do you have a point?
Geez, what's with people like you who come out here just to shoot down valid suggestions?! In case you did not know, this forum exists for that very purpose, so I would appreciate you leaving this out for someone who runs the site to respond.

I'm sorry you take it like that, I did to mean to upset you.
My point is: when you have to setup a rule which will impact a website of this size, nothing is easy.
So, please, chill out a bit, I'm not your enemy

Also, the moon is really big. Both of which I call out as completely irrelevant here. The complexity in implementing a suggestion is firstly not for you to judge, and is secondly beyond the scope of this forum. This forum does not exist to only for members to suggest quick and easy fixes.

I am calm as I could possibly be without you needing to tell me, but that doesn't stop me from calling out people on their nonsense.

You keep aggressing me for no obvious reason.
Please stop.

No. You were the one who tried to shoot down a genuine suggestion I made, and added a condescending "whatever" reply when called upon that. And now you think I'm the aggressor? And have the gall to tell me to stop, when you keep adding pointless replies?
You have the ability not to carry on this pointless discussion, but I see you're repeatedly choosing to respond, while telling me to stop. Your logic is makes absolutely no sense.

I never tried to shoot down anything; I just made a remark which was not against you nor you suggestion; when I stated I did not mean to offend you, you kept on harrassing me.
But you can be quiet; I leave this thread and your sunny personnality.

Your remark served absolutely no purpose there, which I thought was already made clear.
phil.o wrote: you kept on harrassing me.
Nonsense. You responded to every single post I made with passive-aggressive substance, including this one (which I'll respond to).
phil.o wrote: But you can be quiet
I have the abiliy to be quiet, yes. And so do you. Why are you stating that here though?
phil.o wrote: I leave this thread and your sunny personnality.
No announcement was necessary, as it's not that important for me to know. But I'd be glad not to deal with any more of your passive-aggressive tripe.

LOL. Am I missing something here? I never asked you to do anything, my suggestion was for the site admins.

It's a can of worms
What if an account has been hacked? What if the user just had a brain fart and everyone jumped on him or her before they caught themselves?
On one hand it cleans things up quickly, on the other it's a fairly terminal resolution.

Thank you Chris.
Possibly apply it only for those "under water" kind of reputation accounts, that are may be only a week old? Better yet just hide the messages away from public view, and if the member appeals then a human could take a look at it and take a decision. Of course, it could still be a can of worms though. Just a thought.

Suddenly it occurred to me that counting votes in our weekly polls instead of "voters" would help to avoid misunderstandings about the percentages. Probably it would be easier to interpret ... just a thought ... and this is an illustration how it could be done - the sum of percentage values at the centre is above 100, but weighting against all votes will keep the percentage at 100 ...

Yeah - I thought of that many moons ago, but are those values, well, of value, given that multiple choices can be cast in some surveys.

Hi Chris,
thank you for looking into this ...
About your point " ... but are those values, well, of value ... " I am not sure, either...
Being "exact-minded" I would be tempted to avoid "there is something
uncertain/unknown over here ..."-feeling caused by multicast poll results .
On the other hand, perhaps it is not that important as any poll is only somehow indicative
