If you were a member of Newts or koiphen you would know the 2 boards don't like each other. I wrote to koiphen and asked the mod. to delete my accounts there since I got banned again.
I was banned two years ago without even posting because I was a member of Newts. That is why I have 2 accounts there, I joined again as rockhound instead of earthdog.
koiphen is a board that will change your post or delete it completely if they feel the need. They boast all the time how they have the most members out of all the ponding forums. Like I said, they will ban you but not delete you.
I must make it clear that I did not write anything bad at koiphen to get banned. This time around I only had 6 posts and 2 were asking in the open forum to be deleted, the next day my post was deleted and I was not. Here is what I got a day later when I tried to sign in,
When I wrote the mod. and asked to be deleted this is what I got back,
Can you believe this crap?
