This is a very odd update, not clear what it purpose was beside trying to promote an eCommerce site (electronic equipment).

I agree it's a bit strange and I will keep an eye on it.
Off topic though - going back to a previous conversation ... if you look at the revisions for this article version 27 is the "currently pending" version and version 26 is the "currently published" version. I'm guessing you can see both or your wouldn't have raised this report. I'm hoping you also see a message "This is a new version of the currently published article" and if you follow the link in that message you should see another message "There is a version that is ready for approval by the community. Would you like to view or edit it?"
So the version currently in the moderation queue is the highest number version (27) and the last version that was published is the one that says "Publically Available" (26)

It must be as Jochen said on the other thread ... I can see version 27 because I'm a protector (or I have more rep points perhaps) ... strange, I don't remember it being any different in all the time I've seen the moderation queue. Must be my age, the memory is going

He is wanting to use it as a example for the theme treated in the article (he didn't update all articles, only those which have something related / used by them in the other place).
I do think he is not really aware of what he is doing and that it is not allowed / punished with nuke.
Warnings delivered... if reaction comes and deletes the editions... ok
if no action taken soon... bye bye

cool... it is actually more satisfactory when they do react as having to nuke them 
Thanks for the feedback
P.S. I have edited your original message to avoid wrong reports. @Sean-Ewington would you mind to check their history and wipe possible reports in the last days?

I agree. The odd thing is that the commercial application in question is a well known, well established, and well respected app, particularly in the ECM and associated areas. I don't understand why anyone there would think spam is a decent advertising technique. Perhaps the perpetrator just thought he'd write about an app that he was impressed with.
Its still spam, though.
Cheers,
Mick

Just trying to write up some information about a product that saved me a ton of time and was the result of many hours of research. If you can provide any guidance on ways I can restructure the article to be thought of in a better light, I am open to this. Purpose of this article is to hopefully save someone else the time and energy I spent in figuring this solution out. There is not much out there on programmatic Word manipulation that works on Azure believe me.
Thanks,

The problem is, your article reads like an advert for the product, and it's a commercial product. That's a common tactic employed by spammers to try to get their products advertised on CodeProject without paying for the privilege.
Also, when your original copy of the article was rejected as "spam", rather than asking for help to make it acceptable, you simply reposted it. Again, a common tactic employed by spammers.
(There's possibly an argument to be made that the rejection message should explain the article policies, and where to seek help. But that would be irrelevant to the vast majority of rejected spam articles.)
I suspect the article won't be allowed, but if you talk to @Sean-Ewington, he can probably be persuaded to remove the "spammer" votes on your account.

Alright, now I have some idea on what to edit on this thing. Reading like an advert is semi-subjective here since the solution I came to is based on a commercial product (and was basically the only one that did work). Seems like it will be very hard to not have some references to the product that actually worked for the need I had.
I guess the re-post would be seen with some spammy pattern, so that's on me. Lesson learned.
If i switched this to a tips & tricks item rather than an article would that make more sense? I do want to get something on this topic out though, because there really isn't much out there if anyone else is running into the same issues I did.

As I said, I suspect the article won't be allowed. But talk to Sean to see if there's anything that can be done - he's really not that scary!

Unfortunately, due to abuse, we have been forced to reconsider our policies on all third party submissions.
You can only post about a third party product or service if you're posting about some problem you encountered while using the product / service itself (like a workaround). Unfortunately explaining how it works is something we no longer allow.
Thanks,

His account was closed - maybe we should give him a second chance?

I hear you - I did much the same quite a few years ago, before that product was available (or at least before it was as complete as it is now), and came up with a different solution. The problem is that this site does not allow the promotion of any commercial product.
It may be possible to write articles that show how various aspects of the product work (in the 3rd party area), but promoting the product in any way, especially links, just is not permitted.
Maybe by posing the question in the Article Writing Discussion Boards[^], some more experienced writers may be able to help you in this area.
Cheers,
Mick

Quuick[^], who claims to be the Best web Designing & Development Company in Hyderabad, has posted four messages[^].
Two seem to be in the moderation queue, which I can't see. The other two look like promotional blurb for his company.
So far, the only link is in his profile, but I suspect he's planning to edit the messages and add the spam payload later.

I think you are only half right = I would call those messages that I can see actual spam - not preparation.
