I believe the reference is to the API mailing list, not a forum.

I think she is talking about the ES forum:

http://forum.openoffice.org/es/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=7741

Her posts were never modified nor moderated nor anything. She posted a
question that, as sometimes happens with difficult/non clear topics, at the
beginning did not get any answer: that's all... But when answers came they
were not well received either (suggestions, like posting on the EN forums
too, were not followed because the user was not "intellectually interested
on the topic" or something like that), some strange theory that there was
an universal agreement to not provide answers to the problem was uttered
(and repeated many times) and after a suggestion of reading the forum
rules... well, the thread is now closed and the user vowed to leave the
forum

http://forum.openoffice.org/es/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=7912

Obviously, there was a communication problem... but I do not think it was
from our part.

Also if you are a new user on the forum, your post needs to be
'cleared' by some of the mantainers, which mean that your post is not
visible to the rest of the forum members.

You should have got a message announcing you this, so you need to be
more patient and also provide more information. Not having enough
information on your post is enough reason to get potential
contributors to skip your post.

A message that is "moderated" means that a person with the "moderator" 
role looked at the message and then clicked on something that says "let 
the message through exactly as it is written", or, "do not let the 
message through". If a message is not allowed through, I believe that 
you are told along with a message from the moderator as to why it was 
not let through.

I think  there may be a language misunderstanding here, involving the two words 
"modified" and "moderated". I  think the word mofifiied was used in error for 
moderated. I am not involved with the API forum but my knowledge of the 
en-Forum is this (and I would not expect the API forum to be much different): 

the initial posts are "moderated", that is, inspected to be sure that they are 
not "spam", carrying advertising, or trivial posts consisting of pointless 
"noise".  Unfortunately this has become necessary for initial posters to many 
newsgroups, mailing lists and forums, to help reduce the nuisance ostings and 
try to keep the list relevant to its purpose.  A user's posts are in general 
not modified; a group moderator might correct a spelling error (typos can 
happen to the best of us!) or change a mistranslated term to the correct one, 
but only to clarify the sense, in the intention to be helpful.

Once a user has had a posting approved his postings are displayed immediately.  
This process is sufficient to reduce the level of spam and noise postings 
significantly.

I hope that explanation sets your mind at rest, Yessica.

I understand, thank you very much. I really do not like the idea that my
posts are "modified" by others, and that could mean, for example, something
I did not say. Actually I did not receive any notification about this. Also
I think if my messages are not understood, that I should be notified, for

I guess you need a little patience, we all are contributors, may be
busy working on other stuff, etc. (for example, I saw your mails on the
API mailing list, but didn't have time to take a look at the problems).

Besides, Basic + Base is a complex topic, and it is rather hard to get
an idea of the problem by only reading a description and a code snippet,
it would be helpful for the reader if you can upload a copy of the whole
ODB file with the forms, macros, tables, etc. For example, without
seeing the whole ODB I could have never guessed the problem you had with
fields not incrementing due to having NULL instead of a default value of
0.
