A while ago, when Iran’s internet was disrupted, I explained to you that the reason for my activity was that I had scheduled several posts in advance, and because of that I didn’t notice the warning you gave me about the texts. You didn’t believe my explanation.
Now the whole world knows that Iran’s internet was cut off. I managed to access the internet with great difficulty, and I think this time you can verify the truth of what I said with a simple search online.
Isn’t it time to reconsider the restriction placed on me in the channel where I’ve been active for years?

Weird you didn't notice, as you started to be warned in discord by me (brumest) in March 2023 about it. Check the chat and read your answer to revive your memory.
Internet issues have absolutely nothing to do with your conscious and deliberate decision to keep tricking the Hive community with AI generated text.
As I explained you before, the mute is permanent and will not be removed.
There's nothing else to be discussed regarding this matter.
I did not deceive the community. I wrote the texts myself and only used an AI assistant to get a fluent translation. I tried to explain this several times. Unfortunately, because the internet was being cut off and reconnected suddenly, I wasn’t able to fully review the translated texts, and some of them had issues and incorrect phrasing. On the exact day the internet went down, my post was published automatically, I was muted by you, and I didn’t realize what had happened because I had no access to even review my texts.
I remember that we talked, and I told you I thought I had to write at least 320 words for each post, and you said no, that it wasn’t necessary — that I should write less and just write in my own words. Because I had scheduled all those texts in advance before the internet was cut off, and did so in a compressed timeframe to prevent my activity from stopping, I ran into this problem. Even now, I still use AI for translation.
My real work is photography and creating visual and video content, and I only used AI for translation purposes. I am willing to publish posts here for an entire year — or as long as needed — without receiving any rewards, to prove my good faith. The situation we are in here, with very limited access to free internet, is truly different and difficult.
Please consider this collectively and allow for a reconsideration. Thank you.
Look, I don't want to be rude.
Stop wasting your time and my time with this.
I am sure you know what permanent means.
That first place is well deserved @wilfredocav, it's one of the best photos I've seen this week, congratulations! Once again, thank you very much for the mention and support, dear @monochromes team. Congratulations to all my colleagues!
You're more than welcome!
Thanks for the third place!
Have a great weekend!
A well deserved place on the podium.
Enjoy yourself there!
