This new discussion is clearly showing up, but what happened to my previous posts?
There is an automatic spam filter - I don't know what causes it to trigger, but there are quite a few posts that get stuck its quarantine that are perfectly ok.
The mods are supposed to review it periodically, but they sometimes do get behind.
Netgear does trust me to release spam, and I have released two posts you made earlier today. I see a couple of earlier ones - I left them alone, since I think they might be redundant. Probably the best thing to do is repost, and then send me a PM if a new post gets caught there.
For the benefit of others, I have no such privileges, so please do not PM me to ask for release of posts caught in the SPAM filter.
I believe that once you've posted a few times and proved you are not a SPAMmer, you won't find the filter causing you any more problems.
Frankly, I don't see the point of registering as a ReadyNAS developer at this point. Developer support has always been near zero, anyway, which was one thing that held back developers coming to or staying with the platform. Just look at how old the "approved" apps are for an idea of the magnitude and duration of the problem. Even the RNXTRAS web site, which brought the developer at least some remuneration for his work, has shut down as that developer has abandoned the ReadyNAS. If running apps on my NAS were a priority of mine, I would have abandoned the platform years ago. And I'm sure it has gotten worse (probably now at zero, if it wasn't already) as Netgear strips back ReadyNAS support.
A few years ago I asked for a "ReadyNAS developing for Dummies" primer, and didn't even get the courtesy of a reply that said "no". I'm not a Linux expert or professional programmer, but I could probably take some existing Linux source code and compile ReadyNAS-specific versions of existing apps if given a few pointers. But all of Netgear's documentation is written for expert Linux developers.
