Oh, thanks for letting me know.

Not only did I get banned - so did my whole building based on the IP address.

Guess what else? Every single post was deleted, and every thread I started. I mananged to help your community clear up at least 2 of the loose ends you left dangling.

...Has anyone considered giving me an explanation or referring me to the document where everything is explained?

One day you will see something amazing that I built... and you will wish that you were part of it. I hope you then find out that you could have been, and how you treated the person who built it. And I would love to then be able to invite you to be part of it, regardless. Because that's the sort of community I want to be part of.

How would you feel if you were excited about something, you put your first and only crypto currency you mined into something else, and when you got things together, and rocked up to help out and get involved, this is the welcome you get: "No. Go away. Don't ask questions, we don't care. Sorry you're poor. Shut up or get deleted." What kind of community does that?

Didn't you maybe think about banning because of your own guilt and your inability to deal with it?

It's fine. I'll find something else. I liked what was started here, and sorry I can- and will never be part of it. You can still change that it if you like...

I appreciate the fact that you made a great effort... what I don't appreciate is that the original promise wasn't delivered on and that once you have put in what you deemed to be "enough work", you think that all is now right because you can get away with it.

That's the way of the world... right?

I'm glad your conscience is clear. Mine wouldn't be. And this summarizes two kinds of people you get in the world - those who keep their promises and those who don't. The promise here was a stake - nothing was mentioned of deadlines or timelines until it became convenient.

Even so, I did check in, and I did follow the rules, and I still couldn't claim. I ask about it in the forums, and all I get is a "no too late". No explanation, no link to a document where it was discussed or someone explains what, why or how. Just "No"'.

To add insult to injury, my account gets deleted, also my posts, and you block the IP of the whole shared office space where I work. That creates an impression of me bringing up a touchy subject that nobody is willing to rationally talk about.

This being something so trivial, I would hate to think what would happen if a really important decision needed to be taken, and there was disagreement. Would the same people just delete or ban all the accounts of everyone who didn't agree, so they too can "wash their hands in innocence" and say - look! We have a unanimous victory! What a great community! We all agree! How wonderful!

I tried to be like you, except I missed the email where they said that I can only claim my stake for another month or two... and now boom, nothing for me.

And I am not alone.

And to top it off, now they deleted all my posts on the forum, and blocked all my IPs, even blocked the whole domain to which my email address belongs.

That does not sound like a healthy community - who would rather censor, than discuss, and who would rather cut off, than work with.

They might have short term success, but in the long term someone who has more integrity will bypass them, unless they can still fix it and unless those who got stakes can work out a way to give back to the others who also invested but did not get stakes because of poor administration in administering the stakes.

Hi All

So I, along with at least 30 other people that I have come across in the last few months, have invested in the NEM ICO.

They had a redemption period, effectively, of just a few months - with very poor communication - and many people missed this - the result was that they simply kept those people's stakes and just told them sorry when they come looking to redeem or get more involved.

Well, since I have gotten involved in their forum, and helped clean up some dead links and old sites that made NEM look bad, even though I was denied my stake.

And now... Poof. My whole email domain is blocked from registering on the forum, my account is deleted and all my IP addresses that I've used on the forum are blacklisted (I share public IPs with a few hundred other ISP customers from the various buildings where I access the internet) - completely from registering or logging in!

And all my old posts are WIPED!

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! NEM - Egalitarian? Wow.

Now this has gotten me thinking - if a "movement" with such a bad attitude can get so much traction - just imagine what a good community with the same sort of notions, and more ability to include people and better powers of execution can do... and one that actually has some good grounding to stand on.  An added benefit would be to make good to people who can prove that they have been sidelined from the NEM "hyprocrite" community.

I am investigating ways that I can win back the dignity of those of us who "donated" to NEM, and got only abuse and insult in return.

Are there any of you reading this? Do you have any ideas? I have now given up on NEM to make good, so lets band together and figure out something for ourselves?

I would like to try to create what we saw in NEM - but what in NEM seems to only an empty promise.

Are you a well standing member of the NEM community itself? Do you condone this behaviour of your moderators and those running your project? I would hope not, and I would urge you to think where that could lead and act accordingly... doesn't this just fly in the face of everything Cryptocurrency and especially an "Egalitarian" one, stands for? Would you like to see competition rise out of those you sidelined? Or would you be willing to start a fund and donate some of your stake to that fund, to make good with the > 2% of your community that you cut out just because they were tending to other things?...

Will edit with details, still figuring out how to get it.
