This threads getting spammy again and there's malicious bots screwing around with devtome, maybe there's a connection.
Good observation, I was noticing the coincidental return of a certain users posts (and double posts, and triple posts) but didn't want to make the connection lest he feel conspiratorial.
I left because you guys were trolling me, I am back because my Devtome account isn't working. And I'm not even good enough with computers to do anything malicious.
You guys were making fun of me for being poor the other day, and now you are blaming me of hiring hackers. Wow. Just wow.
I'm going back to my writing.
The bots have been an issue for a while, it just now became a problem. They are the same bots that likely go around advertising viagra on random wikis on the net.

Either way im sure the admins will get to the
bottom of it... There should be database
logs to see who logged in and deleted.

enough
But back against the wall anything is possible.I don't think it'd be that user either; but he did mention he has people who like to follow him around and cause troubles (and that isn't me, although ribbing him here I will own up to and have called to an end).

Doing some work on the site, might bounce up / down. Gotta figure out whats causing the issues with the user DB.
Good work Jas I'm sure you'll figure it out!
Oh yeah and we have an official twitter account at http://twitter.com/devtome

Does it have cloudflare enabled? If not we should get protection.

How many users are effected? I will see if you are still in the db. If not we will get it fixed. It may be a bug in the script due to me disabling registration completely. We were getting warnings from the host yesterday about the amount of IO on the site due to the bot registrations.
I'm affected now, oddly. I have no issues logging in but I occasionally get logged back out when going from one page to another (and then logging in again fixes it for a little while).
Can someone please check ranlo's writing.
I have a tip that his account is but one of many Devtome spam accounts in a network of opportunists.
Sad as it may seem.

Alright cool, at least that makes sense. I thought some hacker was mad at us.
I changed all my passwords and wallet addresses just incase. Thinking I might should format c:/*.*/all but what do you guys think?
Ha ha it's a Devtome database problem it'll be resolved soon.
Not sure that would solve much ...
EDIT: could be the solution! (please do not do this!)

Well i'm in the same boat as finshaggy here... tried to set new password and user not in DB
Also I have the tick enabled to remember me.
I have tried this on 2 separate comps as well .. one windows one linux still both no access to devtome

Who's managing the Devtome user database? Someone got an itchy trigger finger by the sounds of it.
I am sure it'll all work out soon enough let me pass on a message.
Are you sure you cannot login with email either?
Last I remember Jasinlee deleted some spam account back when I joined, and I have not heard of anyone doing any other admin work on users since that.
I did notice in the past that an admin can reset / change the password for a user if they edit the individuals account and just tick the box to send the user an email then click save.
Tried logging into using email and nope no access
Oh nasty, if the database is really losing information gosh knows what other data it might have lost in addition to some of the users...

It strikes me as an error by an admin or server error or something... as finshaggy says as well none of his articles are gone and neither are mine.. will need to double check the payout address but no sign of edits on the wiki.

Yes I am sure it will be resolved soon enough.
Let's just sit tight.
