Stop deleting innocent threads!

[Astralv]

This is ridiculous! Why was my thread deleted? I been using Toms hardware for years and deserved more than one badge- this should be worth something- at least a reputation! I asked a question about PUK being locked. This has something to do with Cellular services. I don't ask how to bypass antitheft measures- I am asking what does it means! I can't work! For me it is very urgent! How dare you delete my thread without even notifying me? Why? This is legit problem! Do you not believe that it happens>? Explain yourself!

It wasn't "deleted". It was closed, with a recommendation to contact your carrier.

Deleted threads are not always the fault of the moderation team. The junk detector used to filter spam posts is often to blame and unfortunately it sometimes likes to pick on specific users. I've contacted moderation to sort this out for you.

Nevermind. They are ON the scene.

next time you complain about something it would be best to read the sites rules first

And you were told exactly what to do by the moderator that locked the thread. There's nothing we can do here, we have absolutely no way to verify that you are, in fact, the owner, or otherwise authorized to access that equipment. You have to contact either Apple or your service provider.

the PUK or Personal Unlocking Key is like cracking a phone or a computers password and is not allowed here. if you asked how to bypass security the thread would be against the terms of service here.
Toms cannot help in bypassing security for devices as we have no way to verify you own the device in question.
its like asking how to commit a crime. we do not know if you will be a criminal or a victim so no help is offered.
you also will not get assistance in bypassing a BIOS password, or any other password protection.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Astralv : "How to take out SIM card?"

I contacted Apple Support with the problem described in the thread that was just ruthlessly deleted- my iPad would not unlock saying PUK is locked, even through I never had wireless service. Apple tech support recommended to take out SIM card to see if it helps. I never knew there was access to SIM card- apparently, there is little elongated oval door on the side of iPad with pin point hole and we supposed to use a needle to open that door and take out the card. But it does not opens! I don't know how hard I supposed to press there- did you ever open it and took card out? The tech support person says- she uses earing.

And to the administrator- if you don't understand what PUK means, do not delete the tread. There are many things in the world that we can't understand- does not mean it is God. So just because something is locked, does not mean I am trying to bypass security measures. PUK has something to do with cellular services. My iPad is not locked. There is something wrong with my SIM card- it asks for code, the code in on the card itself, but I don't know how to open the door to take card out- because I never had to use wireless service. I need my iPad who I have access code for to work. I don't need SIM card at all. So if I had no card- it would not be able to connect to internet IF I had service, but I never did. So leave my thread alone- there is no crime here.

and to the administrator- if you don't understand what PUK means, do not delete the tread.

they do, that's why your threads keep getting deleted

As stated multiple times we will not assist in ANY way with removing your PUK code. Asking again will incur sanctions on your account.
