Have you ever staked a bitcoin address?

Nope.

I believe the staff actually recover accounts via different coins as long as they work the same way in signing and verifying the address. It would probably need to be a popular altcoin like ETH because they would already need the software to verify the message.

Hi everyone,

I've explained what happened here(https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.30478715)
but thought it might be better if I posted it again here.

I didn't log myself into this forum for years, and just discovered that I've been locked out from my own account (leepsteer00)
when I tried to log in just now.

Looks like my account has been hacked and controlled by some scammer(?)
Thus created this account (leepsteer) to post this disclaimer.

Is there any way that I can proof that I'm the legit owner of the aforementioned account?
Maybe via some address I've used in the past?
No, password reset by email/security question is not working.
And no, I didn't sell my account.

Looks like someone had already noticed that my account have been controlled by someone else.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

Edit: Sent a email reset request to Cyrus according to this thread. Thanks w5pn73 for the help given.
