IMPORTANT Improvements in the New Post form have eliminated the gotcha described below.
DevForums has the concept of public and private tags:
Public tags are available to everyone, per the rules outlined in Developer > Support > Developer Forums.
Private tags are limited to a specific set of developers.
The canonical example of a private tag is Universal App Quick Start, which is only available to folks who had an Apple silicon DTK.
If you have access to any private tags, the New Post form has an extra field, Post Visibility. Its default value is Private but you can switch it to Public. The Tags field adjusts accordingly. So, if you select Private you only see a limited set of private tags. Use these if your post is about one of those private topics. OTOH, if your post is about a public topic, change Post Visibility to Public and apply the appropriate public tags.

My original thread ID was:
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/805350
This was a technical post with no links to products or services, but directly to native code designed to solve the problem I was posting about.
I believe a single unhappy user may be abusing the flagging/reporting feature.
I am contesting what this single user has alleged, namely that my content is “advertising.”
Under my rights as per the Apple Developer Forums Agreement, I am requesting a review per Apple’s right to monitor and correct moderation actions. Thank you.

the forum only seems to archive posts from 2021 onwards.

I didn’t want to hijack that thread so I’ve started this thread for it.
AFAICT forums hasn’t lost any content since we moved to a world-readable platform back in 2015. See here for more about that.
A quick search suggests that your earliest thread was this: importing Contacts fails with "Cannot import module being compiled". (I’m not sure why I didn’t reply at the time.)
What is interesting is that your profile page is only showing threads back to 2021. I see two parts to that:
You have to choose Created as the sort order. That’ll show threads you created back to Jul 2016.
However, there are still a few threads before Jul 2016 that aren’t showing up.
I’m not sure what’s going on there, but I’ve reported it internally (i. 99636235).

The "Remind me later" button doesn't work on the "Customize your experience with Apple Developer" page on the Developer Forums. It just redirects me back to the same page.
