So i posted a link and info to a script i developed for syncthing… syncthing-cli further down in this forum.
Now I received this message in my forum inbox:
“Your post was flagged as **spam** : the community feels it is an advertisement, something that is overly promotional in nature instead of being useful or relevant to the topic as expected.”
So whats the story? people here can deem if a freely and relevant contributed script should be shown?
Weird… and not very encouraging if one wants to contribute ones free time to a project.
Or did I miss something?
ps. all script updates will be posted to r/SyncThing going forwards…

Akismet (the automatic spam filter) flagged it due to you being a new user and posting repeated links to the same domain. I’ve restored the posts.
