My Profile closed due to spam votes
-
My original profile has been closed since 10 members marked it as spam. I have been long enough here to know not to spam. One of my articles was marked for plagiarized sample code and taken down. I acknowledged the missing reference to original post and agreed to include references. But now, I'm unable to login to my original profile. My Original Profile[^] Not sure where to ask for a review, so I created this profile and posted it here. Can someone help?

For CP-Staff: If you want to check the why, the correspondent thread in S&A forum is: Article C# 8 New Features Plagiarised From Microsoft Docs[^]
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.

Plagiarism and spam are very different things: in your case you copied, pasted, and tweaked code and text so that we (hopefully) didn't notice. Spam is advertising, such as driving to a viagra or "technical support" site. "Copy'n'paste and forgot the reference" is one thing: but you deliberately changed the pasted text and code so that is wouldn't be identical. And that is plagiarism, no matter how you look at it.

The email I received says '10 times members have reported your account at CodeProject as "Content has been posted that is spam"' Anyway, your point is taken. The article is already taken down and I will work on it to completely rewrite it to address plagiarism. My question is why my profile has been closed. I would like to keep learning and contributing as I have done before.

Because we do not tolerate plagiarism. We - the moderators as a group - write articles, and we know how hard it is. So when somebody comes along, copy'n'pastes stuff that probably took a lot of effort to get right, tweeks it to hide the theft, and claims they wrote it themselves we don't appreciate it. The account gets closed and the plagiarism removed, that's standard procedure.

Yes, and it's staying closed. Sorry, we don't allow plagiarism.

That's the point. You should not rewrite things. You should write them from the scratch. And to be honest... I "defended" you a bit in the other forum, but seeing your answers, it makes me think you didn't bother to read the CodeProject Plagiarism FAQ[^] as I already told you.
