I have an aged account here which I sparingly use. It went from Junior to Newbie all by itself while my messages get flagged as spam. Isnt there a system in place that can distinguish between real aged accounts and fake ones ?
You got demoted when the merit requirement of 1 came out.
The system for differentiating aged accounts is looking at the profile and checking the - Date registered. In your case 2013. Rank and activity would be to show more than age, it covered interaction on the forum.
The deleted posts could have been in threads that have been trashed; or possibly from a time before BPIP was grabbing the Data. Not really sure how that works.
Did anyone else notice that OP has an avatar, despite being demoted a newbie ? Even the said Jr. Member rank shouldn't have an avatar, right ?
Pretty sure they got to keep it from years ago when it was first applied, I remember something about a few cases.
I don't think anything got deleted. The OP is getting the red warning on their sent PMs ("this message is coming from a newbie" thing).
Good catch, that makes sense. I couldn't figure out what they meant about "flagged as imposter".
