I just realized that Dalek should really not be your real name 
I watched Doctor Who the last couple of weeks (yes, I didn't know about the Doctor until then) and feel a bit ashamed that I didn't realize that I'm responding to a Dalek - Daleks are superior.

Hi,
I wrote my first article here at Goodies for RIA Services [^]
What is the estimated time for you guys here to approve an article to be published for public?

Kasimier

Hi,
For gold members it appears as the second one in the "articles-waiting-for-approval" list on the CodeProject home page; as soon as one of the goldies approves it, it would become public. That may take a few days, keep in mind it is weekend now.
The article is about Silverlight, of which I know nothing, so I'm not going to read or approve it. Also, it is very very short. In my view it would have to be a exceptionally good text to pass.

Hi Luc,
"Also, it is very very short. In my view it would have to be a exceptionally good text to pass."
Does this imply that a processor with a bigger public API would have a better chance of being posted here?
The intent was to provide access to the code that comes with the download of that article.
The code was first posted in the RIA Services forum: http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/t/121127.aspx[^]
I now realize that CodeProject might not be that great to provide prompt access to code.
I.e., I'm not that interested in a code repository, where you cannot predict if the code will actually be posted.
Thanks & regards,
Kasimier

Hi,
The way I understand it CP expects didactic articles that teach stuff to readers. Downloadable code is mandatory but is not the essence. CP is not a code repository.

Hi Luc,
yes, you seem to be right; and I find CodeProject's philosophy regarding its didactic goal honorable indeed.
One might mention that not everyone is interested in unnecessary explanations and is indeed able to learn from looking at code. I hope that the Kryptonite-members, or whatever, keep that in mind. The API consists of 3 custom Attributes. There's no gain in talking about details.
The issue is that I wasn't aware that articles are being withhold until some glory guy puts his/her official seal on them. This has the effect that the code is currently not available. I should have read the small print first.
Thus once again: I realized that CodeProject is not adequate for the purpose of prompt publication of code (no pun intended; this is a conclusion).
Regards,
Kasimier

The Gold Member Approval was brought in as a response to morons/trolls down voting articles either as a personal attacks or general badness.
The theory is that the weapon guards itself. By the time you get to Gold Status you have the sense not to just piss about, the intelligence to moderate fairly and have earned the respect that your opinions are accepted.
It is not a case Elitism. Also gold members will only approve on articles that they themselves have a direct knowledge of.
For example a C# expert would do the approval ona C# article.
That said, approval is usually quite quick, but as has been mentioned, this is the weekend when a lot of members are off the grid.
I suspect you will get feedback in 24-48 hours from now.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Since I'm currently off the grid in your sense and really do not want to disturb the way you guys are running this thingy, plus don't have the time to discuss the subtleties of code-flavours, plus don't feel the need to explain RIA Services in general in my article, plus need to make the code available soon, I decided to move on and the delete the article (still no pun intended).
[edited] moved to SourceForge - everything's fine now [/edited]

It is if either your article is apparently excellent, so the first reader approves it (he has to be gold member in order to see it), or the author himself is a gold member, in which case no approval is required.
A member gets gold through patience (that alone would take many years), site activity (such as participating in the forums, and ... publishing articles), and peer appreciation (getting positive votes). I don't know all the details, I believe they are somewhat explained on the who-is-who page.

Kasimier - your article is not suitable for publication in its current form. I have outlined my reasons in the forum for your article.

Who wants to look at that crappy profile anyways? I think that the time of CP staff could be spent on something more productive instead of putting up a page like "This creature was a troll, and was removed"

I disagree.

If that is the reason, then it should say it exactly like that.
CP should be transparent and show its resolve.

Explicitly saying why the account was deleted might be too much info, but it should say "Account deleted" so that it doesn't look like a bug.
The latest nation. Procrastination.

In this particular case the member was removed. There's nothing to actually load, hence the message. We do have the ability to ban a member, in which case a different message would be displayed.
However, sometimes we simply nuke a member entirely instead of leaving the account clogging up the system.

This creature[^] has been consistently abusive on the lounge, starting flamewars, posting garbage and all sorts of other nonsense. Not a single message that he posts make sense at any level.
Basically he's been following the footsteps of Kyle, "Teh" developer, and other clueless asshats. Can we have him kicked out, please?
[Additionally, this idiot has been univoting good articles for no sane reasons. You could as well consider removing his votes from such articles]

He has been grinding for a couple of weeks now, I am guilty of feeding him and have stopped.
