The idea itself could be interesting and thought-provoking. Personally I wouldn’t like to be oppressive, removing posts easily; but this time, monero.town/post/1144305 it seems somewhat excessive too. Any advice? I’m new here, though technically a mod. @monerobull@monero.town @rottenwheel@monero.town

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I’d be in favor of removing it, for what it is worth. A follow-up direct message might be a good idea as well.
We might consider adding a third rule, perhaps? Wonder why we both got assigned as moderators. I think the community creator deleted their account before doing so.

They double-posted a new one monero.town/post/1142415 in !moneromarket. So deleting this one in !privacy wouldn’t be censorship because just cleaning up duplicates?

Posting the same thing to 20 different communities is spam imo, even if they aren’t all on our instance. Stuff like this can get your entire instance banned from federating with others, i don’t think this should be supported and the people here seem to agree. There hasn’t been a rule so far but we should probably add something similar to r/monero where you can only advertise every 2 weeks as well as limiting reposts to your own community and a limited amount of others (so cakewallet can post to the cake community and monero for example).

Since you’re the admin, you have the final say, obviously. @maltfield is a fellow user of monero.town. Apparently their posts were well received once ( monero.town/post/478676 monero.town/post/132041 ) then became a bit too repetitive and (perceived as) spammy.
Sounds reasonable.

In addition to being vouched-for by ProxyStore, we’re also on Monerica. If you have specific criticisms of our product, please let us know. Mostly we’ve got “you’re a scam because everything blockchain is a scam.”
I would expect better from the monero community. Not sure how providing journalists, activists, human rights defenders, crypto traders, etc with open-source hardware kill cords makes us illegitimate…
