Sorry for this, but this is far away from an article...

Sorry @Michael-Haephrati ... ...but this one Searching for a Reliable Hardware ID[^] is something far away from an article and for me you missused your right to post without moderation! Not sure that everybody takes care for the given freedom. It is at least the second one today from you which does not deserve the attribute 'Article' in my mind. Here the other one: How to Send an SMS Message from a Desktop Application[^]
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

The first article has been there since January, 24th 2012. And the second since June, 1st 2012. At that time it is possible that the rules were not as clearly established as today regarding article and tip/trick distinction. I don't think Michael has misused anything.

I cannot strike any report, and it is your absolute right to flag an article when you think it has been mis-categorized. My only concern about your post is that I do not think it is an abuse from the author.

Thanks phil.o. I went over the 2 articles. They both received high votes, interesting comments and needless to say I did not misuse anything. These are articles and not tips. I would have published them today. The article about looking for a reliable hardware ID is based on a long research and real life project. The article about sending an SMS form a desktop application is based on real testing and even though my method is limited to a single API (maybe today I would have added a more generic method), it makes sending SMS easy and straight forward. Next time, just drop me an email... Cheers, Michael

What a damn broth this choir is here. I can only throw up. X|

You can throw up as much as you like, but not on my shoes :laugh:

Question: If you think this crap 'articles' are worth to count as articles it should be my future measurement? Ok I will follow the choir.... will I do it really, not sure. It is not the first time that high rep mem go for high rep mem... and I hate it.

As I told you, you are entitled to your opinion and have the right to accordingly flag any article of which you think it has been wrongly categorized. I simply do not think these articles are crap, and I also am entitled to my opinion. And your question does not make any sense to me, sorry for that :wtf:

If they were new posts today, I would report as "wrong type", you can go for "incomplete" if you want a nuking kind of report but I don't see any reason to go for "abuse". There is a bug too, I am not sure if you know about. Sometimes when CP-Staff (Editors like Deeksha or Sean or even Chris) edit a post, they get changed to an article. It often happens with blogs, but I have seen tip/tricks that get "promoted" to articles without the author knowing it.
M.D.V. ;) 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.

Would you have published today, I would have gone for "wrong type" myself too.

But the length of the annexed project / source code is not a criterium for article. It is the explanation you do about the source code what counts for me. If you published them today with that little explanation you should go for tip/trick or a project. At least, this is my opinion

I know... that's why I am explaining it to 0x01AA. I partially agree with him. On the other hand I am just tired of those "high rep members" BS comments
