I am code project user for years and yesterday i tried to link my blog with code project. I have added ref tag in one of my article it was published on code project.
There was some mistakes in the article that introduction section automatically copied in twice and CodeProject tag link displaying in the article. every time i preview the article after doing change it always show code project link in the article after adding display:none.
Article has been removed, May be I have missed something in standard to publish the article. It is fine but I got an email that "Your account has been deleted".
As google does, There should be a chance to correct the mistake and let the user know that It has this number of error in your post either correct it or it will be deleted.
My user name was niranjan_kala with email id - niranjankala@aol.com and it is completely removed by saying that it is Spam. How could it be a spam account in one post. There should be much better standard to remove account, Stackoverflow is much better moderation in this context.
Hope my suggestion is valuable and considerable.
Thanks,
Niranjan

We don't like spammers, and they aren't given a chance to flood the site with rubbish so their accounts are generally closed pretty quickly.
Having said that, we are human, and we do make mistakes - but I can't find any reference to your username in this forum: so it's difficult to tell what has happened. Do you have a link in your browser history to the article so we can tell which one you mean?
Without knowing a lot more about what happened, we can't do much to help you unfortunately.

It was with email id - niranjankala@aol.com and link for the article is - Running the first .NET Core program in Docker environment
If everyone deleted on it's first post then how it will work with this website. Even my article just took the reference from specified article with just two lines then how could it be duplicate with the related article MSDN blog.
I was trying to share with Code Project but if there is some error in article then it should be asked to correct rather than removing the user.
I don't think such moderation approach is better any community website rather before posting it on every article should be moderated in this case.
I would not like to spam any website and consider plagiarism in my articles. But in case of my article it is not a replica in any case.
Thanks,
Niranjan

Spam is spam: and we don't want it hanging around, so we delete it as fast as possible - you would not believe the quantity of spam we get!
Why should we let people advertise their product / site / services for free, when this site exists only because other people pay to advertise theirs? If we did, then the paid adverts would stop, and the site would have to close!
It's possible that it was a mistake - without the article I can't tell - but we mere mortals can't locate articles based on your email address as that is kept private. I'll summon a staff member to see if he can adjudicate: @Sean-Ewington I summon thee! Can you have a quick look for him?
If it is innocent, then he can restore your account. But ... if it wasn't reported here, then the chances are it was spotted by staff which means it was spam, and you are unlikely to get it back.

I've removed the link from your post to prevent it looking like site driving spam and your current account being removed: Sean can access it from the post history if he needs it.

The link given in the 2nd message points to a draft. You should be able to see it.

Plagiarism and additionally (at least in my opinion) real close to the spam boundary if not crossing it.
Case closed.

I have had a look to your post.
The central topic about your blog was regarding Docker.
Yes Docker has a free version, but too an Enterprise version with more features. What means, you need to pay for it if you want to have all possibilities and this is something not really well accepted and a technique that many spammers try.
I am not saying that advertising was your goal, but... seeing the draft. I would report it to be removed (If I didn't do it yet).
When @sean-ewington comes to work he will have a look and give a verdict. If innocent, then he has the power to reinstate your account and even the publication. If not innocent... well, have a nice day

@Sean-Ewington
Forget the look-see Sean - it wasn't closed as spam, it was closed as plagiarism.
We do not like plagiarists: and we don't give them second chances because we've tried before and they nearly always turn round and do it again. Some of them try to be smarter and disguise the theft better, but some don't even bother doing that.
You know what you copied, you know you shouldn't do it. But you probably didn't realize - or care - that we are good at spotting it, and since we all write our own material and know how hard it is to do that we don't put up with people who try to get a short cut and steal other people's work.

Thanks very much for your message. Your blog entry and account were closed because your blog entry plagiarized another source without giving it credit. Unfortunately plagiarism is a growing problem on CodeProject. We've tried many things to tackle this issue. We've re-activated accounts of plagiarists and even worked with them to teach them what plagiarism is, and tried to work with them to get their articles in working order.
Experience has taught us this method does not work. A recurring theme with plagiarists is that they want their articles published, regardless of the cost. Publishing an article correctly on CodeProject, that is, publishing an article that aims to teach and exhaustively explains as much as possible about a subject or particular problem and its solution, is far more important than simply getting an article published. The focus should never on being published, the focus should be on using your own words and your own knowledge to help others.
Posting a piece of plagiarized material conflicts with CodeProject's purpose, and is hurtful to a community full of authors. As such, neither your article nor your account will be restored and this will be our last say on the matter.
Thanks,
Sean Ewington

Thanks for that Sean!
Sorry to have dragged you in, but he was claiming it was closed as spam, and we do make mistakes from time to time... 
Have a good weekend!

I could hear the gavel drop while reading this. 
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Thanks Sean for the explanation related to the issue but deleting the article is fine but deleting the account is feels like a big punishment for the mistake that can be corrected and avoidable in future after knowing about the plagiarized article material..
Thanks again...
