I have been developing a security pentesting Xojo application for the last six months. Yesterday I posted a proof of concept youtube video
showing just one element of this. (Yes made with Xojo, Yes Anti-virus evasion technique) - So what…!
Michel, what has that to do with the censorship in the forum? Are you suggesting that it’s okay for Xojo to delete posts about topics the common user does not comprehend?
I posted in ‘off topic’ - security minded programmers would understand what was happening in the App. Hence a few had clicked the like button. Still doesn’t warrant being deleted
I was demonstrating that Xojo can be used as a develop tool for more than just creating ‘Eddie electronics’ type applications.
Nothing new about that. Maybe on Xojo forum. I have been using RS and Xojo for Security pen-testing for almost 5 years now, and plenty of books written how to use Python for Security penetration testing. So I’m a bit surprised that Xojo delete your post.
It would be nice if there were a obviously-placed “Contact Admin” icon on the forum so we wouldn’t have to see all these Xojo-Is-Facsist types of postings. These things are way better handled in private.

Allright. I must be stupid, then, because I did not understand without sound on the video nor any text to explain anything. Now that you explain it has to do with security, it would be even nicer to understand what is happening. Off topic or not, it is always nice not to indulge in public private jokes.

Why? So nobody sees them? So nobody knows what’s going on?
Your the first calling Xojo’s behaviour “fascist”. I have to wonder is it a “if it walks lime a duck and talks like a duck then mybe it’s a duck” thingy? What gave you that idea?
I always thought a man is only as good as his word, and you should stand up for what you believe in. So I very much disagree with deleting posts.
We are not small kids that need to be cuddled and mollified - we know what’s “out there”, that the World isn’t a fairy tale place.
@Lee Page - I must apologize. When I read your post this morning, it appeared that you were showing users how to write programs which can circumvent an Antivirus/Anti-malware system. It would have been helpful to have had the note you posted in your followup, i.e. “I have been developing a security pentesting Xojo application for the last six months”, in the original post because it may have avoided such confusion.
