Can you show me that post again that I made regarding they help active legendary members only?
Well, afaik the only known official method of recovering hacked accounts is by PM to Cyrus and Theymos until they manually check their logs and contact you with a reply. You're saying that Lauda, Vod and many others helped you recovering your compromised Legendary account even suggesting to the other legend victim to PM them also (instead of giving this same advice to any other of the plenty lower rank users that has also been hacked). I cannot quote that post because the topic is locked. However here I copy & paste it:

I still think a legend account should be renewed quickly if the signed message proves it is theirs. PM lauda and see. Can't hurt.
Yet you didn't answer about how did they manage to help you recover it. Sorry if I missed your post about this subject, I'm sure a lot of us would be interested hearing your successful story. More even if you discovered an alternative method that would help solve many other open cases. The last known reported recovery happened on July 15, 2018 to the Full Member Swenna. How about you? When did you mange to get it back?

I eventually got mine back via lauda, vod, and a few others helped me.
I'm wondering how did they manage to help you and when that happened?. I was a Full Member since 2012 used to be active back in the days, btw I read one of your posts mentioning that they help active Legendary members only? is that true? mind to explain why?

I don't recall saying that. Although surely those that have put the most effort in to the board should get priority. However I would think any honest member that has got hack should get their account back if possible.

It's a shame.
Just a shame the there is no 2 factor auth via email or phone. This would help a lot.
It's terrible to lose your original account if you have put a lot of effort in to it.

Forget it buddy, why focused on hacked account with lesser chance on recovering it? You heard already one of the MODZ so make a decision now. It is wiser to start again and be good in the forum. Do not fed up by your lost get up and move on. When a door closes you then better look another door. Who knows, you might get more than what you wish to get back.Well, sometimes it's not about getting more than what you had.
I happen to run a large crypto-luxury marketplace, and the very fact that someone happens to use my stolen account is a security threat to anyone in this forum that had or would be willing to do business with us.
As far as proofing ownership with bitcoin addresses, I'm a little bit confused. I had my Bitcoin address inserted in my signature before my account got stolen but obviously, the hacker deleted it.
Although I have countless proofs including message history to prove that I am the legit owner of this account, does Bitcointalk.org stores logs of previous signature modifications ?
Frankly, I have no idea, but at that point, I'd be ready to pay the current owner a couple of hundred bucks to give me my account back.

All you can do now is wait. Account recovery process is currently of low priority for forum administration. I know that it might not sound very much professional but they have got so much on their plates that you also need to understand their situation.

I've been hearing about this supposed automatic recovery account system for a while now, still no further news that I know of.
Theymos has been making some good moves with the forum, the latest addition being the custom passcode to bypass the catpcha, that was awesome. However account recovery should be #1 in priority list next.
I've been considering making a list with the most flagrant cases of people stuck in permaqueue to recover their accounts, I may do it if I find some free time.

Theymos has stated that it will hopefully be ready by the end of the year (hopefully being the keyword here). Maybe it will and maybe it won't but we can only wait until then to find out. I agree account restoration should be a priority and someone should have been given access to restore them in the meantime or at least until the tool is ready. I'm still not sure on how users who can't sign a message or can sign one but from an alt coin address will get their's back so that's still going to require some manual intervention which will need to be dealt with.
I don't think they will be able to recover their accounts without being able to sign a bitcoin address. As far as altcoin goes... if it's a big established altcoin with a blockchain that is reasonable to assume it hasn't been compromised (like litecoin) it could do, but I wouldn't trust one of these obscure altcoins as proof.
During registration there should be a warning sign that says you should create a bitcoin address for verification purposes may you need it in the future, otherwise people will not realize it is even a thing.

BUMP MY MAN !!!
Do you have any more info regarding this automated recovery system ? A thread maybe ? I'd really love to have something to hold onto while I wait for a miracle.
My 2014 account has been hacked by a Theymos impersonator and is now being used to promote some shitty ICO, although in my case I might be able to buy it back from the hacker.

You can post it here or PM me it if you wish for it to remain private.
It takes too long because neither theymos or cyrus have the time to do them. An automated recovery system is apparently in the works but until that happens or theymos delegates this workload to someone else then people just aren't going to be getting their accounts back any time soon.

Welcome to the club, I have also been around since 2012 and was hacked 3 months ago.. I tried contact them by all my means. Conclusion is that they don't care unless you're a well known VIP. I even tried to reach @Cobra on twitter but he ignores me just like the other admins.
Keep this topic alive and send PM with your signed message every 15 days to @Cyrus and @Theymos, nothing else we can do unfortunately...

Next to zero unless theymos or cyrus miraculously start to restore them or more staff are given access to do so. If that doesn't happen then they best you can hope for is the automatic recovery tool that theymos is (or was) working on that he said should hopefully be available by the end of the year. I still think more staff should be given access to restore them in the meantime though. Users unable to provide a signed message are still going to be left in the dark even when they can provide other proof that the account is rightfully theirs.

You are truly motivated to regain your account, I think it is a big shame that no one here can help you from 300+ days 
in it instead of people who are just not interested in your issue.
Still a BUMP from my side.
