These things usually take a long time. Sending him a PM here is the right way of contacting him: theymos (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=35).

well from my experience if u send a message that is worth it he does reply.

of course he cant reply to all messages he gets and as u said he also receives worthless messages, probably daily

so if u think ur message was important i think he will reply.  and it shouldnt take 3 months.

You need to send him the PM again after some time since it probably gets buried by so much content that it is not worth going through.

That is not necessarily the reason for which he does not answer certain PM's for a while.It primarily comes down to how much free time he has and how big the 'backlog' is.

If the issue is genuine , then how much time will it take to clear the details like, if someone got hacked his account and he has all details about that account and he has the messages where he has used his wallet address and can even sign message from the wallet address. So after giving all details ?  How much time will it take for THEYMOS to clear that account.

because i have seen so many messages and thread in regards of their account getting hacked and even after months they are not able to retrieve it back.

How could theymos know whether all the necessary information was given in a PM in advance? This can only speed up resolution time, not the time until he actually acknowledges and starts handling the problem.

There is no clear answer to this question. Depending on the conditions at the time, it could happen within a few days and upwards of a few weeks. These things don't have priority as the user is usually at fault.

This has very low priority, especially for new accounts.

BillyBoy402. Welcome back.Are you talking about your Hero account which is tagged by everyone including Danny ? 8)
I'm quite sure recovering a scammers account is the last thing Theymos would do.Maybe buy another hero account ? ::)

In that case, you could post the account link here and the signed message. That way a global moderator could just ban the account and leave it like that until it (hopefully) gets handled by theymos.

Post his dox. He'll show up pretty quickly.
No, this is a bad idea. If you do this then you will probably get banned, as posting someone's dox just to annoy them (or just to get their attention) is not allowed.

To answer the general topic, if you need to get in touch with theymos then you should send him a PM that is very specific and concise and specifically describes your issue/concern. I have messaged both admins multiple times and have never had difficulty getting a response from them.

Regarding your specific issue, recovering accounts is theymos's absolute lowest priority and if you have not received a response after numerous messages then he will probably not recover your account for you. I would suggest creating a new account if you wish to continue participating in the forum. (Assuming you are not banned).

Shorena used to offer a service like that, however, it's closed down.
Theymos (or any other forum staff) most probably will not do that for you, as it takes some time they'd rather spend with more important matters.
As a result, you'd have to go through every post yourself and delete it, if that's what you want to achieve.
Randomizing your email/password and being done with it probably is the faster way here.
