Looks like it.
I can understand that new owner have to register the product to gain access to the private forum. This prevents trolls that don't even own a Kemper product to spam into the forum. I get that. That's fine.
What I don't get is why accounts get restricted, like mine, of member that just currently don't have a registered Kemper but had, for many years. I even own a Kemper but I don't find it particularly welcoming to having to register a Kemper AGAIN to gain access to the forum again. Last time, as you can read above, it seems to have been my fault. Ok. But I havent touched or changed anything since. So either it's a bug and its not intended to work this way, maybe as a product of the change you mentioned, or it IS actually working how it is supposed to do, then I, as I said find it sadly offputting.
Or its my fault again and I'll gladly accept being an idiot, then please someone help me gaining access WITHOUT the need of product registration.
