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

First post, and it's just a link on a nine-year old question: Aye Thu - Professional Profile[^]

Sorry, I forgot your automatic tool...
003 was just one to watch. I have removed the link of my OP and striked him here in your message

If these were articles, I'd agree with you - but they aren't, they are Projects, which means that like Blog entries, they are pulled direct from the source data at GitHub.
Which means that they should presumably be allowed the same latitude as Blogs as far as company mentions and "donate" banners go.
Can we hang fire on reporting these until we have a ruling on what is and isn't acceptable in a Project, given that we can't contact the author to ask for changes until it's published?

Any thoughts, please?

Yes, I wasn't really certain and, as I said, the actual articles are quite well presented. I guess the management need to have a word.

Articles need to be judged as if they were submitted directly via the submission page. Just because they are imported using our webservice instead of being typed / cut-and-pasted directly has no bearing on the bar for quality. The manner of submitting an article is merely an option for convenience, not an option on quality.

As I said above, I thought the articles were quite well presented. My concern is the soliciting for donations, which goes against the principles of CodeProject.

Holy whatever, how can you remember this? Do you have nothing better to do? 
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question

I don't... but there is a useful thing over there called "search for..." [author="Sean Ewington" AND donations]
not that difficult.

Yes, but to answer you, we would need to bring the soapbox back again

The problem is that with imported Github projects and blogs, we can't communicate directly with the authors to ask them to remove or tone down the content - and we do give blogs more leeway as far as links and such like are concerned.
I think we either need to have a forum with submitted projects to talk to the member about it, or let some stuff through that we wouldn't for full articles. Just closing it for "spam" isn't that helpful, and as Richard said, they are potentially good and useful articles. I'd definitely like to see them published, if we could get rid of the paypal element.
Perhaps some guidelines could also be added on the submission page, explaining what is and isn't acceptable?

They got approved and I have left a comment. But TBH I am not in a good mood right now. Please go by and write a proper request, since mines might be a bit "short"
