Old account banned (LOCKED BECAUSE OF TOO MANY LOGINS)

wow...

Do i have the same fate in front of me (same as sickhouse?) ?

If you can sign a message from an address posted by your account, then you will be able to recover your account. Sickhouse cannot, which is why his account cannot be recovered.

I did finally retrieve access to my regular account after several times sending private messages to Cyrus and Theymos, but it seems that my bugging some of the other moderators about the matter too seemed to have helped to get attention to the matter.  If my account had not been reactivated, I was thinking that my next step was going to be creating a new thread in this META section... anyhow, I am glad to retrieve access back to my regular account, with maybe some good luck to coincide with this most recent bullward retesting of our May/June 2016 BTC highs...

I had a similar situation about 8 days ago in which I attempted to sign in from another device for my regular account (JayJuanGee), and I could not remember my password, so I attempted to use the recovery word on a couple of occasions, and I guess I did not correctly recall that recovery word either.

In accordance with the banning instructions that were sent to me, I sent an e-mail to Theymos, and then I logged in with this Temp account and I sent a message (PM) to Cyrus.   I am still awaiting a return message from either Cyrus or Theymos.

By the way, I had created this temp account in September 2016 because at that time, my regular account had been hacked, and at that time in September 2016, when my account was hacked, it took only a few days to recover my hacked account (after going through a bit of personal verifications).  


By the way, below is a copy of the text of the PM that I had sent to Cyrus last week:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hi Cyrus,

I am writing from this temporary account because my regular account, JayJuanGee, has been banned again.  

Accordingly, nearly two days ago, I e-mailed the below-attached message to Theymos from the e-mail account that is linked to my JayJuanGee account (and in accordance with the instructions of the ban message that I had received, and I had explained in my below message to Theymos).  

Even though it has been nearly two days since I had e-mailed that below message to Theymos, I still have not received any kind of response from Theymos or from whoever may be checking the messages of that e-mail.

I wanted to know if you could assist me to restore my regular account, JayJuanGee, or if you can direct me to someone else or if you need further information from me.

Hi Theymos,

Several hours ago, I had attempted to log into my bitcointalk account (jay Juan Gee) from my phone , and since I was not able to recall my password at the moment, I attempted to reset my password by use of my secret word. Apparently, I didn't recall that secret word correctly either and I was sent the following ban message after two attempts.

>>>>>>An Error Has Occurred!
Sorry Guest, you are banned from using this forum!
For security, your account has been locked. Email acctcomp15@theymos.e4ward.com<<<<<<

Of course, I am writing because I want to recover my account, and I am writing from the email address that is currently linked to my jay Juan Gee account.

Let me know if you need further information from me. <<<<<<<<<

You did not recall the secret word improperly. Due to a recent (couple of years ago) security breach, the secret phrase answers were leaked to many accounts. Theymos has created a safety measure to lock (not ban) accounts who try to use the security phrase.

I'm confused as to why it says your account has been banned, though. Definitely for some other reason.

You are correct that I had not recalled the secret word improperly.  Theymos had written me a subsequent PM stating that he ahd unlocked my account and that I had correctly recalled the secret word, so apparently, he did not need to take any other efforts to verify my identity... my account had merely been automatically locked (like we already discussed).

Regarding the term "banned", I believe that is likely merely an inaccurate and inartful phraseology that they are currently using in the automatic message that gets sent to any person who attempts to use the secret word and whose account gets automatically locked out.
