Title: Account Mergers?
Post by: Delana on November 11, 2014, 12:09:12 AM
Hey Mods...

I had an account here, SerenityS, but lost the access to all the credentials I used, email accts, etc. and had to start over. I just made a new account here since I have no way to access any account saving attempts. I just thought I'd ask if it's at all possible on the back end - yours, that is - to merge the old account with this one so I can keep my post counts and rank or convert all that to this account?

If not, no harm...I'll just start allllll over at 2.  :(

You'd first have to prove you own the old account.

I don't want to recover it, just merge the posts/rank with this one. I am not even sure if that's doable or not so was checking first. If it is, then I'll definitely go through all that to get the mods what's needed.

Thanks

I dont want to recover Vods account either, just have his rank/trust with this one.

Its not a technical problem, it just makes no sense to grand this without proof and if you can proof said account is yours you dont need no merging.

Unless you can prove said account belongs to you, you won't be able to get it merged or recovered. Think about it: how can the mods determine if the old account is actually yours?

The answer is no, I don't think the admin will take the time to merge the two accounts.  At least, I've never read of them doing such a thing.

I don't think the forum would ever allow two accounts to be merged, even if you could prove the other one belongs to you, merging two accounts would go against the premise as to why alt accounts are allowed (in order to say something that you do not want associated with your "primary" account).
