Come on guys, are there any members who know theymos and can contact him to get him to help out. Sending a PM over and over again will just spam his messages and is probably the reason he has not yet responded.

There are three administrators in total, where are you guys! I have sent a PM to each one of you, if you need help please let the community know and people like I will be happy to help out. We believe in this community more than any other coin as this is the home of many coins. So if there are people willing to help the coins i am sure they will help its place of birth.

You have a responsibility here to your community and the people who have made the site as is. Please be more attentive.

If you've sent theymos a PM but haven't gotten a response for a few days, try sending it again:

I have kind of a "leaky queue" for forum work -- if I don't get to a request in a couple of days, I usually drop it.

I'm in the same boat and I have sent a PM in the outlined format requested. And mines isn't the only one, glancing through this section you can find numerous threads with other people complaining about the same thing.

There is no indication whatsoever that theymos is even reading our PM's to him. It pisses me off how a site like this can't even get some basic security measures in place like 2fa. That post about them making a new forum with these features was way back in march 2013!

How long does it take to response to the PM? I really dont get how a site that is so popular can be neglected like this in terms of support that there is only ONE person to deal with and that person has yet to respond to any of my inquiries!

Who ever has my account has not yet logged in which means my account has been inactive for more than a week, given i log in here almost everyday its pretty clear and evident, you dont really need technical details (even though i provided it as well).


Please theymos, this is my home, help me get back my account. This site deserves better service.

I dont have a PGP or bitcoin address associated with the account. All of this is far too crazy. The problem here is that bitcointalk.org does not have a proper security measure. How can you let an email address be changed without a confirmation to the original email address? Also how can you let the password be changed without any contact to the email address?

Excellent points.  The forum doesn't even validate email addresses though, making it so easy to create fake accounts.

Nothing will change on this forum - you should make these points where the new forum software (approx Feb 2015) is being discussed.

You never posted a btc address anywhere or PMd someone with one? If not you're probably sol unfortunately.

Im sure there are posts with a btc address. That might help actually.

All other accounts do this as a standard procedure.

I have contacted him through a normal PM. I will try and see how this method works.

Hi,

My normal account was hacked and i have messaged all site administrators though there has not been any response as of yet. Can someone tell me what i can do to get in contact with them. I dont understand how on a site that is as widely used as this there are not more administrators so that there is someone online all the time.


Much appreciated.

Check https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545 first.

Did you send all the required information to theymos in one PM?

Did you send all the details correctly as outlined in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545

If not, send all the relevant info to theymos and wait patiently.
