Hello,

You have posted a large number of questions that are cut-and-paste copies of questions from other sites such as Reddit and Stack Exchange. These questions do not link to the other posts, nor have you edited them to improve them based on what you have learned elsewhere. In some cases, you have cross-posted the same question to multiple sites at the same time. Moderators have asked you to change this behavior but you have not.

There are several issues here:

• This kind of cross-posting wastes the time of people answering the question. They won't know that you already got an answer on Reddit or that discussion on SE led you to edit the question there. This is disrespectful of our community members' time and attention.

• Excessive copy-pasting from elsewhere makes Codidact look like a scraper site. We're not.

• The sheer *volume* of these crossposts takes attention away from other questions.

This must stop.

This message is from the Codidact community team.

In addition, the quality of the questions is often low, with little explanation and screenshots in place of text. We'd like you to slow down and focus on quality.

This doesn't mean you can never ask a question you've asked elsewhere. But do it one site at a time, link to the prior versions, and thoughtfully incorporate what you learned when you write the new question here. Share what you've tried already, just like if you had consulted the documentation or used a published example, and incorporate it. When you post a question on Codidact that you have previously asked somewhere else, the version on Codidact should be the best version of the question, not a blind copy. Slow down and be mindful of the other members of the community.

We are revoking the Participate Everywhere ability on your account across the network. This imposes a rate limit on questions. When you have enough positive activity to demonstrate that you have improved, you will re-earn the ability.

We are also reviewing your activity and expect to delete many of these questions. This will be a human review, not a SQL query, so it will not be instantaneous.

We welcome your participation with original quality content and hope you will also try answering other people's questions. A community has its best shot at success when people work together toward a shared goal -- asking, answering, editing, and making Codidact the best place it can be.
