Well....if they ban IN MASS (like recently), experienced caring members that wanna share some good knowledge , it will be always so. Maybe it's just what they want, who knows.. :-\
I dont' know...me member there since 2009, you can check my profile there (same username/avatar). Maybe we were interested in different stuff and never be in contact in any way.
Not here the place, please check my activities in FF or if you want i will give in private the link to our new home for all the banned FF members. Here, please let's say on topic about the subject of this thread ;-)
Man, why you are trying to twist things? You asked me a thing and i replied..i neither posted a link here and publicly said i would have done only in private IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. Personally i am done with sharing my stuff (trading stuff i mean) in big forums cause there is always some hidden agenda by some mods/admin/senior members/scammers infiltrated. I prefer just to be part now of little communities where we trust each other and we can do a good job with reciprocal help and no mess at all. So please don't twist my words and nor reality,ok?
I mainly lurk at the forum now but all of my favorite posters (about 30 of them) are still members of FF (not banned or membership revoked). Yet, most of them are slowly becoming more active on stocktwits and twitter. In the past, I've asked about at least a dozen members that have been banned suddenly without any public explanation although the member seemed like a quality member. I've been given answers for every one that ranged from something like rules violation, copyright protection violation complaint, harassment in private message, spamming, scam, using another forum to attack FF, trolling, mass banned because the questionable members were associated (affiliated) secretly with each other, member or his/her associates were directing FF members to their own forum, member is a commercial vendor and didn't identify himself as such (failing to be transparent) while discussing his/her method. I think the latter above had the most reasons for sudden banning without any public explanations. Too bad FF doesn't provide a public ban list with the reason for the ban for those curious about such.
forum members have a tendency to over estimate their contribution and their value, when they get banned, they can't see why even though it might be justified
actually FF is a forum that is pretty much dedicated to noobs in my eyes (just take a look at their most followed thread "how i made 100K from 1K in one week" - LOL ) wouldn't care too much about them. maybe you're right and you suggested something that the admins didn't like. My first account was banned by elitetrader (!) because I advised some guy who asked for a good forex broker to to open an account with exness. Exness is a great broker which I regularly use for FX trading because it has the lowest spread (0.6 pip on EUR/USD), it's fully licensed and I never had any problems with it. So it is a good and legit broker. Yet I was banned for recommending Exness (that's what the admins actually admitted). Sounds crazy? Obviously exness isn't a sponsor of ET.
