There are three conditions that lead to account removal on antique-locks.com, so if you have tried to login and found you account to be deleted it will be either :

1 - This is the most common, your account was never activated. This happens when the link in the activation email has not been clicked on. This can lead to account deletion quickly if the activation email is bounced by your ISP or if the account has not be activated some weeks after registration. In either case please re-register and then activate your account in a timely manner. It's worthwhile checking what your ISP considers to be spam first. I will not get involved in activation processes for my emails to go to specific ISP's (life's too short !)

2 - You were registered for a long period (usually at least a year) without logging in and zero posts. In which case the account will be deleted. - or you have only one for two posts but had not logged in for at least a year.

3 - Violation of the rules or terms and conditions for using the site. All users agree to them on signup, if you did'nt actually read them or otherwise ignore or break the site rules your account will be deleted. My decision on this is final.
