It's been years since we've had people in endless queues waiting to get a message back from either Cyrus or theymos, and none of them answering for some reason, even after sufficient cryptographic proof was presented (typically, a signed bitcoin address).

We are not talking obvious spammers, but legit posters getting their account hacked, signing various BTC addresses and never getting a reply back. I think this is unfair and a bigger problem than some 3rd worlders spamming on 100+ page threads. Some legit users just can't get their accounts back, they lose their PM history and other valuable stuff.

I wonder when will the account recovery methods be improved. Probably hiring new staff to do the task should do.
