We've streamlined our processes, and Cyrus has put together a team for handling these cases, so account recoveries should now be handled at a reasonable pace again. Additionally, we will be
somewhat more lenient in recovering accounts without signatures, though signatures often will still be required, depending on the situation.
If you have a locked account, send a new email to the @bitcointalk.org email address given in your "account locked" error message. (The email address changed a few weeks ago.) If you were previously sending messages to me or Cyrus, send a new email to the address
here. We might try to go through the backlog of old-process recoveries in the future, but for now you should send new messages.
Sorry for the delay!
