I received a mail today morning stating that 10 times members have reported your account at CodeProject as "Content has been posted that is spam". Unfortunately this means your account is now deactivated. Without even giving an explanation which article, they were referring to and giving an chance to the author to examine whether it is true on not. This is really absurd. Hope these people understand, how much it effort it goes into writing an article. Instances like these actually make me rethink to write articles here anymore. This is highly demotivating. Would request someone to help me out with it. At least, you could given me the articles which i have kept in draft. Everything went in vain.

Your account was closed for plagiarism; because you posted material that was copied from elsewhere and claimed it as your own original material.
We do not permit that, and the accounts of such members are closed and do not get reopened.

My question remains the same can you please let me know which part or content of the article was copied from else where so I could have modified it to avoid any violation or would scrapped the content as a whole itself. A constructive feedback is important. I hope it makes sense.

You already know what you copied; what you tweaked.
We aren't here to make your task of plagiarism easier, we're here to stop you doing it at all.
Every article is moderated; every moderator has written articles, so we all know just how hard it is to write the right words.
So when people come along and steal them instead, we do get quite cross.
No, I won't tell you "what you stole" so you can "get it through next time". The whole point is that we don't trust you at all any more because you have shown yourself to be a thief.
Actions have consequences...

@OriginalGriff has reported a plagiarist here[^]
When I came I gave the 5th hit and the article got supposedly nuked, but... not the right version. My report was on 20:35h local time (GMT+2) or so. The cool thing is... it looks like my report closed the v1, although there already was a v2.
And 10 minutes later (15 minutes ago) the guy has reopened / reposted the article again.
Is that the correct behaviour?

You could have a situation where an article is pending, but an author makes changes meaning there's a new draft version in the works. The article is closed but the draft version then gets edited and is pushed to pending.

Doing the SAOTD of today I just found a weird situation.
So far... possible. Nickname shown can be repeated. But... both accounts have the same summon name (and I thought that was not possible)
aaronfinchs - Professional Profile[^]
and
aaronfinchs - Professional Profile[^]
Even the "random" profile picture from CP is the same...
I don't know if it is due to a problem on CP side with some overload / delay at the moment he registered, or if he has found a way to fool the security checks while creating an account.
But for me it is not a "normal" thing.

Unicode usage, perhaps?

Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

This did point out a bug that I have fixed.
Even so, Rep points are only aggregated every 15 minutes, so there is a short window where new members will appear to have no points.

Same here. History is recorded but the total hasn't updated since around Fri Aug 28 at 5:30pm EDT.

Turns out there was a bad SQL Query Plan. Added an Index hint and it looks like things are amazingly better.

If it happens again, then a screenshot would probably help the hamsters know what "looking weired" might mean. (I have no idea how a smiley can resemble a small waterfall / dam).
You can take one with WINKEY+SHIFT+S and highlight the area, and use it in a bug report by pasting. (Pasting images only works in a few forums for safety):
Makes it a lot easier to see visual problems ...
Bear in mind that inappropriate images will almost certainly get you banned with extreme prejudice!

In all new registered members there are not counters for the reputation classes as it used to.

Still missing.
Who's Who at CodeProject[^]
Go for order by ID (desc). All new members still missing them, the old members have it though
Are they not visible because of "0"?
