    one of my roommate account is closed, saying that "Content has been posted that is abusive and trolling", he himself not aware of that when this happened and without any warning etc account is closed. he has contributed lot in this forum and very annoyed that all his articles/blogs are destroyed.. any chance to get it reopen and get the all data back? if yes please suggest.. we are people who help in most of forums like code project and sometime challenging each other go into different direction.. i feel code project should give one warning before deleting full record which people take years an years to do. please suggest if any request can help my friend.

    What was his user ID? Without that we can't check why it was closed. (Yours is "Member 147678311")

      First thing would be to state which account you are talking about. But you should be aware that admins have tried to give second chances to plagiarists in the past, and that did not prevent most of them to do it again. It is a fact that those who try to present others' work as their own seldom change their ways. So nowadays it is rather uncommon that closed accounts for plagiarism are reopened.

          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".

              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.

              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.

                That's a difficult one: Yes, it would help "tidy up" the site, but ... we have had malicious "spammer" or "troll" reports which have closed accounts (this happened mostly in the early days after downvoting was prevented in the Lounge). And while it's good for actual spammers to lose all messages, I'd be quite annoyed if my account was restored and everything I'd typed in the last ten and a half years was gone ... I suspect you would as well. Maybe remove all messages if the account was opened in a specific timeframe? ... But that means adding special cases and I don't like those if I can avoid them.

                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.

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

                                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. :|

                                  That sums up your contribution to this thread pretty well.

                                    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.

                                        Nonsense. You responded to every single post I made with passive-aggressive substance, including this one (which I'll respond to).

                                        I have the abiliy to be quiet, yes. And so do you. Why are you stating that here though?

                                        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.

                                          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.

                                          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". :laugh: 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. X|
