I'm shocked of the behavior of Mikrotik !
I take time here to expose what happen to me in order for others to know my story ( and therefore expose the mentality of this company ..)
I had a question about one of their product that I own.
So I created an account on their forum space
- fill the form
- "play" with the captcha
- wait the registration email
- confirm
- adjust settings in the user control panel
Took already some times, then I create my first post related to the question that I had.
after posting I got ~"Your post need to be approved before it's been published"
I'm not a fan of this method already, but I waited, next day when I login on their forum I got:

😵 WTF !
The username is exactly the same as I use here James_PTG
Of course in my avatar we can read the expanded version:
"James Patageul" is a play of words because I sound the same as (in french) "J'aime pas ta gueule" Translate in "I don't like your face"
So first of all, on a scale of "outrageousness" let say this one got a low score..
Secondly, why a Permanent BAN[^1] !??
They could simply had removed the avatar and changed the name if they didn't appreciate it.. ( and still why they have to appreciate or not ? it's a forum ( public place ) ) ?
I'm baffled how they treat their customers...
So long Mikrotik..
