I was about to suggest an author to change the tpye of the contribution to a tip and I say saw that was participating in the IoT-contest. I have already had two people answering back that the contest entries must be articles. Is it like that by design?
If yes, it would be worth to have a try and allow tips to entry as well. If it is really good, might have a chance as well, but at least there won't be so many so short "articles" that very probably won't win, but stay as articles
Edit: Typo

Tips are fine (in theory) for the contest, but I struggle to understand how a contestant could consider a tip as a worthy entry.

Let's say it like that... they consider it worth anyways, but they post it as articles instead
I recommend you to have a look to the list of contributions in the contest, you will see it yourself.
Even there is people writing to contests closed months / over a year ago (ask @Originalgriff)

I have some problems with my account:
1) I have stopped receiving emails (not sure when exactly, maybe since the last 2 weeks, maybe more)
2) when voting "You must have a confirmed email address to vote" message appears, even after confirming my email by clicking the link, the message still appears and I'm unable to vote

Are you still having this issue? It looks like you've reconfirmed your email and all should be good.

Hi,
Today I posted an article, which I wrote during learning linq from various resources(mainly from one source) and I didn't even think about this may become case of plagiarism.
And now my account is getting blocked/closed and reason is "Closed because the member is being abusive or is a troll".
Please activate my account, and in future I wont post work of another as learned today.
My account is associated with singh.abhinaw653@gmail.com.
Please activate this account.

No chance you are guilty

We take plagiarism extremely seriously. You've not just plagiarised on CodeProject, but your blog as well.
I'm sorry, but we cannot allow plagiarism.
cheers

I did a huge mistake, admit that, and I want to rectify it(removed those post from my blog).
Is there any chance for me, because everyone should gets one chance.

It is not even the question of whether you have started an error or not. Here one also ends at the high rep mems ...

What I wanted to say is that it doesn't matter if high rep or not. The account will be banned as well if catched doing plagiarism

Then this one should also be closed as its case of sock puppet account.

Thanks very much for your message. Unfortunately plagiarism is a growing problem on CodeProject. We've tried many things to tackle this issue. We've re-activated accounts of plagiarists and even worked with them to teach them what plagiarism is, and tried to work with them to get their articles in working order.
Unfortunately experience has taught us this method does not work. A recurring theme with plagiarists is that they want their articles published, regardless of the cost. Publishing an article correctly on CodeProject, that is, publishing an article that aims to teach and exhaustively explains as much as possible about a subject or particular problem and its solution, is far more important than simply getting an article published. The focus should never on being published, the focus should be on using your own words and you own knowledge to help others.
Posting a piece of plagiarized material conflicts with CodeProject's purpose, and is hurtful to a community full of authors. As such, neither your article nor your account will be restored and this will be our last communication on the matter.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Tell it to 60% or 70% of the authors that try to reinvent the wheel doing it squared

It's nice to know that there is an official policy of "go forth and multiply" as far as this is concerned.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
