Matt ... that's a Site Sponsor ... I think closing his account has to be an internal decision for CP Hamsters rather than us peons.
The article itself should pretty definitely go, it's copy'n'paste without the original advertising so solid plagiarism.

I am suspicious of this account. It has a yandem email address, so may be fake.
Just joined yesterday. Possibly a setup for spam later.
Maybe we should ask The original author

Is GrapeCity a sponsor? (I've never heard of them before.)

Based on LinkedIn profile, he is a product manager at GrapeCity. So mostly the query here is whether the original author is involved in this or not.

It's actually OK. I will put a link that says, "this article was originally published on"
Thanks,

Hello Dear CP.
I would contact with some one from Administration of this web Portal whatever.
My Account was blocked (not this one that i make this post)
Hi DEV XXXXXX (XXXXXXXXXX),
6 times members have reported your account at CodeProject as "Content has been posted that is spam". Unfortunately this means your account is now deactivated.
what the hell so now we cant post any answer because some lazy and stupid ignorant and arrogant kids cant do something and they expect that we will post our full work. WTF is that
you even don't give me any prove that this 6 post are spam and looks like some one don't know how spam looks.
Thank you for blocked my old Account LOL
(now probably even this account will be blocked)

Without knowing which account was closed as spammy, nobody can help you: we close dozens of spam accounts each day and while we do make mistakes from time to time we are pretty careful to be as sure as we can be that they are spammer accounts.
Perhaps if you tell us what the username was on the closed account, we can check and see why it was reported - but without that, there is nothing we can do.
By the way ... getting angry with everybody on this site because your account looked spammy and was closed isn't going to help you - you are brushing the edges of being abusive with this post, and getting any closer will definitely get this account shut down as well.
Try to be polite, none of us have (knowingly) been unpleasant to you!

OK, that was three days ago, and you posted a message that was just a link to a "random youtube video" that didn't appear to be related to the question, which got caught by the automated systems and a human asked for his opinion.
I'd have agreed - that looks spammy, and I would have reported you as well if I'd been the one to see it.
We get a lot of very similar material that is spam every day ... and most of us aren't going to follow "spammy" links to see exactly what is on the other end as that's doing the spammers work for them.
What I'd suggest is that you take this as a learning exercise: don't just post links - they will always be suspect and YouTube is so full of rubbish that any link you post is likely to be unhelpful anyway. Always answer a question in text, with (if vital) links added to back it up, and stick to "fresh questions" instead of those with existing answers or which are "old".

I will give you advice about blocking ppl. just remove the links or post and all is fine and send info to user "Sorry we remove your post because (give a reason)
No but for you is better just ban user.
Another one things if some one wont some information they can ask (oh sorry ppl in this day are to lazy to ask they just came take what they need without write any thing)

Why do you think we kick spammers off at all?
Simple: this site runs on advertising: if we let people advertise for free then why would anyone pay for it instead? And with that income, the site can't sustain itself - as you will have noticed, there is no charge at all to come here, learn, join up, or post - and since we (the community) like the place, we cooperate in identifying and kicking spammers.
Deleting "just the spam part" just tells treh spammers how to spam more efficiently, with the hope that they may get their cr@p through. That isn't helpful to anyone!
Yes, it's inconvenient for you because you wanted to drive traffic to your channel and we prevented that. But it's a lot more inconvenient to a whole load of people to increase the amount of spam that gets posted!

I was the first to flag that. It was caught in the spam filter and to me it looked like the filter was right to catch it. It seems 9 other people agreed with me. Sorry if it was (supposed to be) a proper answer, but as OriginalGriff points out, we can only make a judgement on what we see.
And BTW calling yourself 'invincible' also looks suspicious.

the video not show because i remove most video from my channel on YT
second how you can judge the name INVINCIBLE are suspicious, Suspicious of what?

Right ... so it was a link to your own channel, and that makes it spam - your account was closed for good reason!
Post anything like that from your current account, and that'll get closed as well.

you still do not tell me what my name INVICIBLE are suspicious ???
any way this not should happen, why you think that some one post some link he is a spammer, that is strange for me. That i post some link to prove that something is possible not make me a spammer.

Experience of the sort of names that spammers choose.

you can't judge all ppl in same way not all of as are spammer's if i want spam this portal i will put lots of s.....t links but i don't do this because i came here to see how i can fix some issue with C# and not only you have really good portal but blocking account is wrong way you just should make some warning system. (but this is only idea what i can suggest to you)

Sorry, but we are all volunteers here, we don't set the rules. And, as we already told you, your account was blocked because your post contained what looked like spam. It has happened to other innocent users before you and all we can do is apologise. But given the amount of spam and trolling messages we see every day we sometimes make mistakes.

looks but is not spam if some links not works just remove them (oh sorry i forgot some staff of this portal are to lazy to do anything like that.
Sorry this is f........... b.......... s.............
yeaaaaaaaaa block all account who post any links because all doing that and all is fine
f....... you block my account because some filter say o someone post link to YT f.......

Dude, I'm going to jump in here but briefly.
Throughout this entire post chain, all you've done is complain "I was banned!" and the few people who have responded are telling you why they voted to kick your account.
Never once in this chain did you take any of that knowledge and apply it to what you posted, completely skipping putting yourself in other peoples shoes and looking at it from their point of view. You expressed no introspection, no contrition, ... nothing but whining about being banned. You're not exactly making a case for getting unbanned.
All you had to do was see things from other peoples perspective, but apparently you're not capable of that.
