Which I would definitely do if somebody from reviewers told me what the problem is rather than tagging the article as a spam. As I said, I asked that question in the "Any comments for our editors?" section for the lack of clear way of communication with the reviewers. So what would you suggest me to do now? I am clearly not going to create another account with CP. Is forgetting about the site my best option now?

With Gamasutra, it is not a problem to repost any content from a personal blog: From Submitting to Gamasutra Blogs[^]: "2. Feel free to repost content from your own personal blog, and note that Gamasutra makes no claim to ownership of user-submitted materials. We just want to highlight great writing about game-making. That said, you may not post material you did not write, or that you do not have full permission to reprint. Also, please no teaser-link posts -- reprint your blog post in its entirety. Feel free to link back to your site, however." I do not see why code project took the same thing so painfully: deleted my article and deactivated my account. (deactivated)EgorYusov

Hello! I am trying to understand what was the real problem here. Is it prohibited to copy any information from a personal project web site? Or is the problem that I did not clearly state that the article is a compilation of information posted on my personal site? Yes, I publish the same information on several platforms, but I do not understand how this may be a problem. It does not seem to be against CP guidelines. (deactivated)EgorYusov P.S. I am relatively new to CP and it took me 4 hours to find this post. It would be great if one of the reviewers took time to provide me a link to here after my article was closed for the first time.

I recently had very unpleasant experience publishing my article. The article was compilation of information posted on my personal blog. Since CodeProject is not a scientific journal and does not require publication to be original, I thought it would be totally within CodeProject guidelines. My article was published, but closed the same day with the following reason: "This item is a copy of an existing article and does not provide adequate reference to the original". So since there is no clear way to communicate with the editors, I tried to resubmit the article and asked the same question in the "Notes to editors section". To my surprise this resulted in my account being deactivated: "Your account at CodeProject has been reported as 'The member is a spammer' 10 times and is now deactivated." So I am in a very nasty situation: my article, in which I wrote every single word, is closed, my account is deactivated, I have not heard a single word back from the editors and still have no idea what happened. Here is the link to the article: Introduction to Diligent Engine 2.0[^] Interestingly, this is the second time the article is closed (after my attempt to resumbit it), and this time the reason is different: "Closed because this post is spam, abusive or otherwise inappropriate." There is also a comment that gives me a clue that the article may have been sumbitted to the wrong catergory: "Please go to the Game Development Table of Contents to view the list of available articles in this section." Very quick search reveals a number of articles that are structured in exactly the same way as mine such as this one: Evaluation Engine[^]. I'd still like to understand what was the real reason for closing my article and deactivating my account. Was it because I did not mention that the article copies my personal web site and what would be the right way to do this then? Was it because the section was not right? Or was it something different?
