My account has been banned suddenly this evening, and I have no idea why this would have happened? I've been a member for quite a while and never had any issues, was using my account earlier today with no problem, then went to change my password and log in afterwards and got a message I am banned? This is the message that shows up: "Sorry CntryBoy, you are banned from using this forum! For security, your account has been locked. Email acctcomp15@theymos.e4ward.com" My profile link is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=945118I sent an email to the address mentioned above, but have yet to receive any type of response. I'm not aware of any rules I've broken, and as I said I've never had any issues or warnings for anything. Can someone look into this and see what I did to cause a ban?

It was locked... "This user's password was reset recently." "This user's email address was changed recently." and probably because of these two reasons...

That is true, I did change the email address maybe a week or so ago, and changed the password just today. I received that message after changing the password and trying to log back in. So does this mean there is simply a "reset" or "cool-down period," or is this an actual ban? If so, how do I get unbanned for simply changing my email address and password?

Just to make it clear for the OP, a normal password & email change doesn't lead to this but instead " recovering the account using the secret question, is its cause". - Today at 02:17:37 AM - CntryBoy - password reset via secret question
- April 16, 2018, 06:09:42 PM - CntryBoy - password changed
- April 02, 2018, 10:24:41 AM - CntryBoy - password changed
So does this mean there is simply a "reset" or "cool-down period," or is this an actual ban? If so, how do I get unbanned for simply changing my email address and password?
Again, "it was locked". Follow this sticky thread ( Recovering hacked accounts or accounts with lost passwords).

Thank you very much for the help, I've been around for a while, but did not know that using the secret question locked the account. I must have missed that PSA somehow. The word "banned" jumped out at me more than "locked" did, so I was thinking the worst! I have followed the steps and submitted the unlock request and requested info via email and PM as the quoted thread suggested. Hopefully it will be sorted out! Thank you again for the assist.

Just so it is out in the open, here is the email/PM I sent to theymos asking for his assitance. I x'ed out my email address here just because... I came accross a thread about this issue and I apologize for the inconvenience, but I mistakenly used my security question to reset my password and was locked out of my account, CntryBoy. It will not happen again, and I will disable that feature. Could you please unlock my account? Thank you. -----BEGIN BITCOIN SIGNED MESSAGE----- My account CntryBoy has been locked because I mistakenly used security question to reset password. Please reset the email to xxxxxxxxx.

From what I see, this addy was recently used? You don't have one that's older than a few weeks?

Most of the older ones are from my blockchain wallet, which I do not believe you are able to sign a message with. I will look into them and see if I am able to sign a message with one of the older ones as well.

I have followed all requested steps to have my account unlocked. The thread says to email the address in the error message and to PM Theymos and BadBear, which I have done. However it appears that BadBear does not accept PMs from new accounts.... anyone else that may be able to help with this? I'm sure Theymos has a lot to tackle as it is.
I would appreciate any more assistance anyone can give to sort this out!
Thank you!

You followed the wrong thread (outdated one), use this one ("BadBear" hasn't been active in the community for quite some time, only send PM's to " theymos" and " Cyrus") instead: On a side note: Recovering accounts always take a very long time (more than a few months), since it isn't a priority for admins.
