You are right, and as I had already written to you, after going through it too,
I understood the pressure both I and other users were giving you, and my apologies to you were due.
I think Normis is looking for a moderator, not for 5 minutes a day, but for more time, otherwise the waits continue to be long.
With the work I do, I have to be connected all the time, basically from 09:00 (CET) to 22:00 (CET) (if not longer…) 7 days a week.
(yes, of course I also have a private life and I’m not in front of the computer all the time)
And then I’ve already done it, so I already know how it all works.

no. not again
how can I make that script? hmm… how many pipes?
script for adding moderators in different time zones - reducing post approval bottleneck.
: local 5minutes
: local members
: local gmt
for (gmt= 0, gmt le 12, gmt++)
do
find members
add members to moderators
done
When a version is released there is a bold text “Please keep this forum topic strictly related to this particular RouterOS release.”
If it gets out of hand and becomes spam unrelated to a particular RouterOS release, posts WILL BE DELETED.
If you want to discuss RouterOS release strategies or get something else from your chest there are other more appropriate topics, where your posts will not be deleted.
Well, the most important thing is that the moderator is not supposed to bring up “the kids”. And certainly not by changing their posts. Pointing to a published set of guidelines and rules (which is hard to find on this forum), and alltogether removing posts that are outside the rules, is the limit of their responsibility. Editing posts to make them to your taste is NOT.
Quoted more lines than the moderator liked? They were cut in full - taking out all the context in that post. I understand some people don’t like quotes longer than 2 lines, but sometimes one can’t help it. And the forum isn’t threaded, so we can’t use the thread of messages as a guide, to see what some answer is about.
Hence, quoting. But that was heavily moderated, much to the detrimental of discussions. I, for one, basically give up on posting - too much hassle.
I can attest to the shocking amount of times I am up late and see rextended just posted, WTF, of course have to explain what he meant to the poor op trying to decipher pigeon Italian
Spam is unnecessary, unwanted, or repetitive content that clogs inboxes and clutters social media feeds. The term “spam” has been used to refer to junk messages since the earliest days of the Internet.
I think all reasonable users can agree that spam is things like a post for p3nis enlargement or something else obnoxious and unrelated to the purpose of the form. Spam is not generally considered to be a user using a legitimate feature of the forum to quote or otherwise refer to another user’s post. The mod’s way of using the forum does not have to be my way or else my post gets edited or deleted. That is not free and fair conversation. That’s censorship and yhe imposition of one’s view on the rights of another. Damn this conversation is so outrageous at this point. LEAVE OUR LEGITIMATE POSTS ALONE!
The reason we get these AI generated reply messages that have to be moderated by a human, is that the board allows unlimited editing of user posts.
Those bots (or lowly paid users) that port for the first time and put a ChatGPT-generated blurb (or just copy a message from earlier in the topic) is that they plan to wait for it to be approved, and then they plan to edit it and put their advertisement in there.
When the board would simply set the editing to be only allowed for an hour or so (so legitimate posters can correct typos or omissions they notice just after Submit) that mode of operation becomes impossible, and I would expect that this abuse will become less or stop completely.
BartosP, that post is not spam. It is not unrelated to Mikrotik or promoting another product or fake service. Why would it be deleted? It is someone expressing their frustration with the seemingly arbitrary way things are moderated on this forum. A sentiment echoed by a number of us. Just because people don’t like it, doesn’t make it spam or inappropriate. And I thought the cancel culture was merely a US phenomenon. Think what i think, say it like I want you to, and don’t say anything that I might disagree with or else I’ll snitch on you and threaten you and make sure you are shut up one way or another. Come on!
No one is arguing that legitimate spam or inappropriate posts shouldn’t be removed. I’m all for it. I’m referring to the many edited by AnalForumMod with a Reason stating not to use quotes or whatever the language is. That’s wrong!
The previous one from BartoszP: clearly an argument and (for me) to be classified as freedom of speech. The tone is something else but there’s no name calling, no playing man, only ball.
You can agree to disagree in a civil way.
