Banned Account

[tenk]

Hello, my other account arousedrhino just got banned. Can a mod pm me what happened?

If you got a message like: "Sorry arousedrhino, you are banned from using this forum! For security, your account has been locked." then that's because you used the secret question to reset your password. Read PSA: ACCOUNTS WILL BE LOCKED IF THE SECRET QUESTION IS USED TO RECOVER IT if you're curious.

There should be an email address attached to the message. You need to send an email to that address to recover your account.

if you recently reset your password via secret message that might cause the locked but I doubt that is your case.
You're farming your account and saw that you've been posting the same thing through threads asking for a vouch and making your post look long so it may look like constructive. Someone may have reported your account.

Yes that's what is showing. So I have to pm Thymos and Badbear?

Yes you better p.m. them.

But if you are farming accounts creating spams, don't bother contacting them. Your account %99.9 won't get unbanned. If you used the secret question, you are in luck. No need to worry.

That is probably your only option right now. They are the ones with the power to un-ban your account. So you used your secret question but the account got locked?

You probably are perma-banned. You either are dumb enough to not see that there's a timer, or are simply permabanned.

What's this?

"This user's password was reset recently.

This user's email address was changed recently.

This user changed his/her password recently."

You're the dumb one for not reading what the situation is. He got locked of his account because he used the secret question to reset the password which will automatically lock any account. The only problem he has now is how he is going to prove that it is indeed his account because it was a sold account.

He couldve also been hacked. Any thought to why he used his secret question? It's highly probable he was hacked. Why would he change his email, reset his password, then change it?

To explain, honestly I bought the account. What happen was I just got the account and changed the email and password. Then when I was AFK from around 1-2 hrs, I tried to post something somewhere. (I had my settings to never log out.) The forum said I was not logged in, I tried logging in with the same password and it didn't work. So I tried to use the forgot password facility, not knowing that using secret question will lock the account I tried using. After that, the system tells me the account got locked.

This would explain why there was a password change then email change and then a password change.
