Teddy,
thanks for reply. I wrote this thread, because I thought it might be useful for others too. I saw many topics like "My profile was hacked" etc.
Yes I understand that mods can't see IPs, only Admins can see. And taking to account so many people and messages here I don't expect admin will check my case. But if some of admins has time - that would be great.

As long as your email is not compromised it should be safe, for hacker to reset your email/password they first will need to access your email.
Just to be on safe side though, try changing your Bitcointalk Password to a new unique password that you've never used before and turn on 2FA on your email.
Everyone can also see your email through your profile, I suggest to hide it and prevent people from knowing your personal mail.
Mods can't check user's IP, only staff can AFAIK, even though they can check IP they were too busy to check it anyway.

Hi everyone,
for the second day I receive e-mail
"This mail was sent because the 'forgot password' function has been applied to your account. To set a new password click the following link:"
So somebody is probably trying to hack my account.
I suspect the user of this forum, there is one cheap clown scammer, who is angry at me because I detected that he is a scammer.
Is there a way may be some Mod can check his IP and if it's the same as IP from which address my account was tried to be hacked - at least I will know and may be this user will stop his efforts being afraid of ban.. Or may be he can be banned from this activity.
Probably proxy was used but may be not
