Unless you can provide an official statement that it's required for a locked account to do that then I will remain skeptical.

The account was last active yesterday because that's the last time I read the ban message.


I'm trying to help you, as I have a dozen or so people in this same situation. I don't have to provide anything. Be skeptical. I'm done. Goodluck!!!

The thread you linked to is for people that can't reset their password via the email address associated with their forum account. I could do that if I needed to because I do still have access to the email address associated with my forum account. However, I don't need to reset my password. I know my password.


Look. I completely understand how confusing, and frustrating this situation is. I know because I had to do the same EXACT thing. I still had my password too. Thousands of accounts got locked. They were locked to protect users from getting their accounts Hacked/Stolen, from the database PASSWORD leak. This thread is a result from the leak:

Tomatocage's stake thread:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/stake-your-bitcoin-address-here-996318

 Now, take a look through the Meta section. Ignore the spammy merit posts, and you'll see, dozens of posts regarding Hacked or Stolen accounts. People STEAL accounts here, for the sake of making money, and it's a Cancer in this forum. It happens everyday.

In order to get ANY admin or mods to help you, proof of ownership is going to be required. Regardless of the fact, that your account wasn't hacked or stolen.  

Edit: Also, that account was last active: May 27, 2018, 09:56:19 PM. Which was YESTERDAY.

Here is the last post of an address:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.932657

This is the address:
1AQSjEjzAPRRRCsiZA8Qr5ynwXurgwFYMT


Sign a message with this address and post it here to be verified. Leave out the email.

Ex: this is xxxxx from the forum and my account is locked. Can you please unlock it?

Where does it say that? The instructions in the ban message don't say anything about that. I think you're mistaken. Please link me to an official message if you are sure you're correct.


I'm not mistaken. I already linked what you need to do, to get access to your account. I was here in 2015, and had to do it myself. If you don't want help, I'll stop replying.  Goodluck.

I shouldn't need to sign anything because my account wasn't hacked. I still know my password. I still have access to my email address. I just need someone to unlock my account.

In 2015, there was a database leak, and many accounts got hacked. Those that didn't, got locked. You will STILL need to provide proof YOU are the actual owner of the account. You WILL need to sign a signature to do that. You are not the first person who had to do this. If you want the account back, this is THE ONLY WAY to do so.

The recovery process is the same and proof is required. Email accounts are often sold with account.

You will need to follow the directions in this thread:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545

If you need help signing a message, check here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/how-to-sign-a-message-990345

You will need to go back through your "last posts of this person" to find a post where you posted a BTC/ALT address.
That needs to be the address that you sign your message from. They use it to verify your ownership.
 

Goodluck!!!

I sent the email about a month ago and waited to see if I got a response because I know they are busy. I just messaged Cyrus. Hopefully, I'll get a response. Thanks for your suggestion.

usually there is an email address listed on that locked notification page, try emailing theymos thru that
you can also pm Cyrus or one of the global moderators on this forum
if it's a simple lockout condition, they usually can help you unlock it without much problems

I still have access to my email address. My password was very strong. I just need it unlocked.
