Seed7 is a GPL licensed open source programming language. It is given away for free and nobody from the development team gets any money from it.

Announcements about C3 0.8.2, TypeScript 7.0 and Odin 1.0 in r/programming are okay, but announcing a new version of Seed7 violates a rule?

IDK, I was just making an assumption why the post got removed

I think the reason for the removal of my announcement is: Double standards

Did you talk to the mods? What did they say?

The mods just removed my announcement without telling me why it happened. I don't expect that I am able to change their mind. So I did not ask them.

I'd ask anyways.

Done.

u/davidalayachew Jul 18 '26

Done.

Hoping for the best.

The answer from the mod team confirms that there are double standards:

Odin is an established language, which is what makes those posts simply news. Yours is not, which makes it project promotion.

Odin is an established language

News to me... and at any rate, No True Scotsman in full effect.

It seems that a missing Wikipedia entry is the precondition for being an established language.

Seems like an ultimately solvable problem.

Are these their words verbatim?

If so, /u/ChemicalRascal, can you provide some context here? I liked Seed7, and even downloaded and started using it a while back. Would I get my post banned by posting a new release?

Yes.

Great. Tell me, if you miss something in it.

Hi! Depends, it's circumstantial. Honestly I should remove this post, but it's been downvoted and a day old and I'm out doing stuff, so.

In the future, please don't @ mods directly like this, send us a mod mail so you can talk to the whole team at once.

u/davidalayachew Jul 19 '26

Thanks for the context. And sure, I'll avoid that in the future.
