That is not correct.

I suggested that you 'phone Apple Support and ask if it is OK for you to
reinvent yourself under a new Apple ID in order to gain access to the 
ASC forums.

If not for joining your battle with them they why? And you said they already
said it was OK. Why ask when we have an answer? This is all so odd to me.

I am not really concerned about the forums there.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

No - I've reported what emails from 'moderators' have said!

I most certainly 'touched a nerve' - I must have got close to the truth.

I simply wanted you to check - so that both you and others reading here

Indeed. I got that impression.

What about THIS place? 
https://x704.net/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9373&p=124552#p124552

You'll note that it's run by 'BDAqua' - a top honcho on the ASC forums!

There's more on-line than Usenet! 😉

No. You have repeatedly broken terms of service and suggested that apps and
developers were doing wrong, and did so with no evidence. You are the one who
has pointed to your behavior as you do that. This has resulted in you getting
banned. It is frustrating for you, sure, but it does not mean you have gotten
closer to some deep "truth" about them... you have to face you have an issue
with repeatedly asking about apps and developers in ways that are not
appropriate.

Perhaps you think asking about THIS result is "not appropriate"?

I'm sure most folk believe that to access the ASC forums people have to 
use their AppleID (So that they are identifiable to Apple).

That is NOT the case.

THAT comment of yours rather surprises me. You appear to enjoy asking
and answering questions and that BBS seems to fit that bill admirably.

Why don't you like the venue for your everyday adventures?

Are you surmising that the message is going against the grain of what

'Bad guys' can infiltrate the forums with ease.

Apple should be more stringent in my opinion.

Any specific ones you want to point to? How long would it take to find a

The first question is: do I think I have the right to do so? If so do I think

Fair enough.

Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity. They cannot use reason to show the message to be wrong so they try to feel somehow superior by attacking the messenger.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.

I wanted “back on the site” to satisfy myself that X704 is not simply a
playground for bad guys - nowhere do I see a formal definition of why
the phbb was set up and by whom. Excluding me clearly demonstrates, to
me, that someone is hiding something! I noticed that WZZZ was
particularly acerbic even though he has membership of The Lounge on the
ASC forums. Logic tells me that by the law of averages, there MUST be
‘bad guys' operating on the ASC forums.

Unless you know different!

I believe one has right to know the REAL person who is encouraging folk 
to break Apple's rules whilst, at the same time, masquerading as a top 
poster in the ASC forums.

Have you, by chance, ever read this thread of mine (right to the YT clip 
at the end!?
