Apple ID query

[Brawdy14]

Hello

Is the advice being given here correct?

A query about one's Apple ID - Apple Community

discussions.apple.com

I'd very much welcome your view(s).

I think you are confusing two things, forum rules and Apple ID rules.

Technically you could have multiple IDs, when I moved to the US I created a new Apple ID.

If you are a banned from the forum you are banned and shouldn’t set up a new Apple ID to rejoin the forum

You could, but would likely get found out / reported again.

Do readers here get the same result?

Yep, asked me to sign in then showed my preferences.

Definitely sounds like you have been banned.

Works for me.

What a VERY strange thing to say! ?

Read here please: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252755807

 

[Brawdy14]

Works for me.

That was good to learn! ?

Everything now appears to be working just as it should be! ?

Perhaps the 'moderators' on the ASC forums monitor the posts being made here. What are the odds on that, eh?!!

 

[Brawdy14]

I seem to have a problem again! :-(

Would anyone like to discuss this with me?

Is the ONLY way to read and post on the ASC going to be under a false identity from now on?

You violated there forum rules and got banned, there are loads of other credible places to get info from like macrumors and many more.

You violated their forum rules and got banned. There are loads of other credible places to get info from like MacRumors and many more.

If one commits murder and one is sent to prison - even THAT sentence ends one day.

There are people posting on the ASC forums under a FALSE IDENTITY - and nobody cares!

My friend has received THIS notification - what does it mean with regard to future posting ability?

If users get a "whole life term" ban on ASC, any new accounts by the same persons will be suspended as soon as the moderators spot them?

 

[Brawdy14]

What question are you asking 'AMacisforlife'?

How does one CHALLENGE the decision of 'The Moderators'? Do you know if that is even possible?

Have you even considered that one or more of 'The Moderators' may have 'an axe to grind'?
