Hi there,
I found this site recently and figured I'd repost an article that people really liked elsewhere here.
Regarding the reasons for blocking it:
I did join yesterday to repost my article on this site.
The links are mostly to resources like a cheat sheet that you can download, experiments that you can watch and there is one link to the original content.
Anything other than that is (should be)just me using the images that were already uploaded on our site which I didn't want to re-upload here or elsewhere.
I can update/change those links but mostly it will be detrimental to the readers.
What would you suggest I do now and in the future to avoid being flagged as spam?
You said yourself that "It's probably a good article" so I am not sure how to proceed.

The problem is that a recently joined member, posting loads of links to your site - it looks a lot like site driving spam, and we're not fond of spam (who is?  )
As a blog entry, I'd probably let it go, but as an article? The download should be on CP - easy to do - experiments are dodgy at the best of times, and the link to the original looks like the reason for posting, even if it isn't.
Since you have it on your site already, have you considered posting it as a blog feed instead of an article? blogs get a lot more "leeway" with links because it's expected that you'll link to other parts of the same blog site.

Can you reverse the member spam votes, please? I'll remove the user from the OP to prevent more.

Got it, I see.
I should probably try doing it as blog via RSS feed.
I will see how it looks (I am afraid not everything will convert nicely).
Alternatively, I will drop those links/images of experiment comparisons.
I think I can convert equation images to equations.
The metric by threshold though are too important to drop I think.
I just didn't want to redo a ton of stuff and the links were left as they were: was not my plan at all as I think reposted articles should be self-contained to a large extent with links were they are really needed (and sometimes it just doesn't make sense to drop them).
Anyway, thank you for your suggestion.
I will try and update it.
Cheers (and happy holidays  )!

You're welcome!
If it doesn't convert too well, then CP employs people who can help fix it up: Sean and Deeksha are pretty good at getting it to look good, post a message here: Article Writing Discussion Boards[^] and they will sort it for you. Remember they are enjoying time off, so it may be a while before they get round to it!
Have a good Christmas and New Year!

Hi,
I tried to repost today by submitting my RSS feed.
Immediately after I also posted on the forums as you suggested as it didn't convert well.
My article was closed again by Sean Ewington as it contained registration calls to action (it's an original article from our product page so it does contain them).
I suppose the RSS feed route is not going to work then or can I work on the article from RSS feed, fix it and repost?
Thanks for your help,
Jakub

Out of my hands - if Sean decides it's unsuitable, then I can't change that: he's staff and decisions like that are part of what he gets paid for. Sorry.

Understood and thank you, @OriginalGriff.
@Sean-Ewington
If I drop calls to action which get automatically fed (and I don't really want them in there) would you reconsider?
Also, this is what I thought could happen in the beginning when I posted it as an article first (with CTA dropped but to many links to image resources on our site).
I think full disclosure is in order here.
My goal with reposting on Code Project is to share it with more people and get some additional traffic/backlinks to our site. However, the articles we write are very technical and not sales-focused at all.
Sales are not a part of this stage of the strategy, it really is about sharing good stuff with folks working on machine learning projects.
I do think those articles could be really interesting to your audience here.
If you feel that it's not a good fit then I really don't want to bother as I am sure you have a ton on your plate already.
But if you'd like to have our content reposted here, I'd be happy to put extra time to adjust it.
Cheers,
Jakub

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I thought it was time to tell (and show) the truth.
