The original reply was (correctly) not allowed to be posted at all, which is why it only appears now.
The comment at NovaCustom launches privacy-friendly phone: SHIFTphone 8.1 with iodéOS - #90 by wessel-novacustom should not have been allowed by our moderators. This was a mistake on our end that we will need to address.
Realistically, if anything we should probably have some rule against posting links to unverified statements from “employees” of a topic being discussed on other forums like this comment did: NovaCustom launches privacy-friendly phone: SHIFTphone 8.1 with iodéOS - #67 by GorujoCY
I’m concerned this backdoor method of posting here defeats the purpose of our strict member verification rules:
If the discussion had waited for us to validate Wessel’s reply like it usually does, instead of turning into replying to a post on a different website, this “drama” could’ve been easily avoided.
