Title: Was anyone able to recover their account?
Post by: VanHadaris on August 23, 2017, 08:30:56 PM
I see a lot of posts about people who have can't access their accounts, but can't get any response from admins/moderators. Was anyone able to recover their accounts recently, and if they did how long did it take? Was your account hacked or just locked for security?

Most accounts of them have been hacked and I think mod not will be easily believe what they have said. I personally have never seen an account that has been hacked can be back again. If their account is just disabled, I've seen a mod say disabled accounts can still be restored or enable again.

1 month ago my account got locked because of me changing it's password,I had to sign a message from my bitcoin adress that was in my outbox and @hilariousandco moderator helped me and unlocked my account after checking the signature.Thanks to him again!I really recommend to anyone here to stack his bitcoin adress somewhere so even if the account somehow get compromised,staff members would accept to give it to you back.

How long did it take for you to get a response from @hilariousandco? My account is only locked too. I PMed him about the status of my account and he said it's only locked and he can unlock it. I've sent him a PM with PM ids and signed message, but no response for 4 days now.
Also, if it's a locked account then it only needs an unlock and you can just use it again with old password?

My account has been hacked too, but fortunately I was able to recover it since I still have all my addresses that was staked here in this forum from the past 3 years. The thing is, you just need to follow the instructions written on this (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0) topic in order for you to recover your account if you have sufficient evidence.

Also, don't expect theymos or Cyrus to reply immediately to your concerns as the two admins are too busy right now on the development of EpochTalk.

It took about 1 week to get hilariousandco answer my request thread.He is probably busy with managing the bords so give him some more time.If the delay exceeds 5-7 days I recommend you to remind him by quoting your old messages to him.
Yes,if it's only locked account you should be able to use it again with the password you set when changing your old password.Good luck

My account wasn't hacked, just automatically locked. The thing is, my PGP key is only in the PMs I sent. Those PMs may have been deleted from my outbox. Will the admins still be able to see them?

You mean the address was in a PM you sent? How did you show the PM to hilariousandco? I thought he can't see other user's PMs, right?
