My only feeling atm, is wtf. I just posted details on a project I've worked on for the last 6 months using Lazarus and pas2js on a farm environment, and then was banned!

Like really! In the past I've been an active contributor to helping people find solutions to their problems. And, yet, I post one message about a project I'm proud off, and I thanked the Lazarus/Freepascal team for their work, and I'm banned!

This is amazing selfishness on the part of the Lazarus team. I'm just shocked by the attitude of a forum moderator.

Wow. Ok. Anyway. I'm still thankful for the efforts of many talented coders whom made Lazarus a reality, but wow.

But, no words can express this insult.

Please :
Do not worry .
Keep your love toward people .
Do not feel insulted .

At the beginning someone said to me :

Get out !

I strongly felt that that was not the feeling of the Lazarus community but one person .
My understanding was correct .

With my best wishes for ALL ,

This is quite unexpected. What is your forum name, I want to check if I can find the message - sometimes messages are moved to different boards. This seems like a mistake, but perhaps a moderator can give feedback on this?

I had a quick look, the moderator in question will likely only be online tonight (i.e. night-time in utc).

The post itself is gone unfortunately. So I can not judge why this happened. (Mind sending me a copy in the meantime?)

I don't have a copy. It was a quick post of the issues I had developing an app for my job as an egg collector. I thought people might find the project interesting and possibly ask questions about how I solved various problems. I was just trying to give something back, but O well. It wasn't a product promo, since the app isn't for sale. Actually, if anything I was hoping to contact other developers so, the boss has contacts for future updates, since I'm retired. I collect eggs to keep fit. I don't work in IT anymore. Hence, we moved to the country. Thanks for your time. If I'm banned, then so be it

I will for now give the benefit of the doubt. I reactivated your account. I can't get the deleted message back....

We have quite a few spam accounts each day signing up => so likely you were mistaken.
I contacted the moderator who was on duty last night. But he wont be responding till the this night.

Sorry about that.

Contact me if there are any issues. I am also on the forum as "martin_fr".

I was in FidoNet sometime. And it has the principle, ie 'rule' in the FidoNet Policy (I was in the Net5020, Moscow) -- Don't be easily annoyed. I want to say - Don't be easily upset. That was a moderator mistake.
