Title: Locked out of account
Post by: TryingToGetMyName on August 06, 2017, 05:38:39 PM
Got the message I am locked out of account.  Tried emailing the address on the response page but no luck.  Could a moderator PM me and I will give my real user name in PM.


Thanks

No one can help you, unless you state which account you are referring to...Waiting for a moderator to PM you might take you long...

Here's what you can do. Sign a message to one of the Bitcoin adresses associated with the said account and post it here. If it is a locked account then there is no need to contact admins like theymos and Cyrus since hilariousandco (a global moderator) can do it which views and posts here in Meta regularly. He also helped a number of people to unlock their accounts in the past.

As above,  if you can sign a message from an address associated with the account I can unlock it.

I can almost assure you my account was not hacked on my end.  I use 12-14 random generated characters only used on this site. For some reason, mods locked my account and have the ability to unlock it.  If they don't want to unlock it, that's fine.  no biggie.  But I assure you it wasn't hacked nor did I break any rule.

We didn't say it was hacked but it was locked as a security measure. If you want it back follow what dillpicklechips said above.

And if there is not bitcoin address on the associated account? What other options are there?

Base on this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0), you can prove that you own the account in other ways but they rarely recovers it.

I provided Theymos a few alternative ways in a PM to verify identity.  We wait and see if these are sufficient.

Well it doesn't look like I am going to get a reply from Theymos.


Thank you hilariousandco for at least taking the time to reply.



I'm out....
