That's great!

I tried to delete an article and this is the message that I saw: "The article "..." was successfully deleted." But I can still see it and all its contents. I want to remove it completely. Is it possible?
If it is not possible, I think it should be....
Thanks...

Can you post a link to the article?
|
|
|
|
|

According to the status that I see, it says it's been deleted. It's a shame as well because I was looking forward to reading this one tonight.
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, it is not accepted and closed...
Yes, it is written "deleted" but all the contents are visible to me? Is it visible to you too? There should be a way to remove it completely.
|
|

Articles aren't fully deleted, partly because you may want to resurrect it in the future, so you can still see its contents. It's visible to me because of certain rights I have on the site - there's a reason I have a funny icon next to my name.
|
|
|
|
|
But I am sure I will not resurrect it. Mybe you have rights to do that? If so, can you remove it completely for me.
(And this is a humble suggestion, we should have rights to remove our own articles.)
Additionally if you don't like that funny icon, you can give it to me with the rights it provides to you

Try that. The article should have gone now.

Hi,
Not sure whether to report this or not, related to this threadhttp://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=4360536#xx4360536xx[^]
The OP's account has been de-activated. When I took a look at it last night, he had 7 articles and a rep of 30,000, mostly based on his Author score. If this is due to people [understandably] reporting the message as spam, it might be worth taking a look at what happened & possibly re-instating. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.

I've reinstated the account. Thanks Keith.

Thanks, he doesn't seem used to the whole forum side of things so I doubt he'd have raised this himself.

Poor fellow got re-banned. The sad thing is his link is genuine. But people see his foreign (and Islamic) name and just vote him down.

That's a bit of a generalisation there, Nish.

I agree, although there is still some level of established history here on those lines.

He lives in the United States, Chris. We Yankees are full of generalizations.

I'd say that some people have trouble differentiating between somebody who posted spam and somebody who is a spammer.
In the case of this message, it basically said "get started" (with what?). Easy enough to see that specific message as spam (without looking at the name of the person who posted it).

I doubt he'd have been downvoted had he posted something substantive.

Yes, I agree, but I was thinking of the reverse. If you are posting something that resembles spam, it just makes it worse to have a name like he had. So had his name been something regular and normal here like say Jack Black, some may still have voted him down but not as many this guy got.

I vote him down too do you think the same reason?

Hello,
I have observed several cases where users editing answers by simply changing variable names and aligning the code. i think users are doing this purposefully to increasing there points.
Thanks!!!
