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.

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?

My profile is closed and I had to create a new one. I just want to let you know that there is no need to be harsh towards anyone without giving them an opportunity to represent themselves. In the past, I had given references to original post in my article and they were removed mistakenly by moderators and article closed. Upon review request, the mistaken edit was acknowledged and the article restored. I agree I did not include the reference to original post in this specific case.

And it's not just the code, it's the text around it which looks copy'n'paste'n'tweek as well.

I had rewritten the entire text from scratch, and inadvertently left one instance of copied sample code without changing it. The original doc is too big and elaborate and I had written this article with the intent to simplify things for my colleagues and friends, who had requested me to write this.
