Yeah the [email protected] address has always been displayed on my account. I may indeed have simply typed in the password wrong (it's some F'd up like 18+ character PW) that I usually have little problem typing in. However, even after I reset the PW, I still get a message saying that my account has been banned. Better safe than sorry, I guess. I vaguely remember this happening in the past, but IIRC it just "went away" and I was able to log back in again.

You entering your password should not cause you to get banned (assuming there is no special security setting for your account because it is on level 1 default trust or something).

Someone would have to actually ban your account for some reason.

Did it have any kind of ban message (like malware or insubstantial posts + paid sig, trolling, ect.)?

I remember seeing the email in the past. I was under the impression that was his email address.

I am not sure why TC doesn't just reset his password via email.

Edit: maybe a global mod account is hacked. I don't see any reason why TC would get banned unless someone thought that his account was somehow compromised.

Also the GPG signature matches.

I don't think that's necessary, he's just locked himself out, not like someone else has access, as far as we know.

Just as a precautionary, although I do believe he's simply just locked himself out, as I said in my original post.
He does seem concerned himself to issue the statement or at least as a precautionary himself:

So in short, don't accept any deals with Tomatocage for the time being until I can get this issue sorted. Thanks!

EDIT: Seems the email is revealed on the account now, which I can't remember seeing that before.

Although, you've likely made a typo. I've issued a negative trust rating for the time being, warning people that you have been locked out and not to proceed to trade with the account until you have verified you have access. Unfortunately, I don't think people will take note of the feedback, due to myself not carrying any weight.

I've included this thread as a reference, and I will remove the feedback when it's confirmed you have gained control again.

Hope theymos will prioritise giving you your account back before there could be any damage. Do you have any suspicions on how it could have happened? Could you have been targeted?

EDIT: Issue has been sorted out. For more info jump to https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11484196

Hey guys, just FYI: I got locked out of my account this morning. The password I had cookied didn't appear to work, so I had reset; hence the "This user's password was reset recently."

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

The address I had previously staked claim to in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stake-your-bitcoin-address-here-996318 is 1FLnpvdXL6ooBpFj2LHqZxQsrxn2voj5uv and as you can see my original post has not been altered. Here is proof that I do indeed own that address:

Additionally, I'll PGP-sign this entire message.

So in short, don't accept any deals with Tomatocage for the time being until I can get this issue sorted. Thanks!
