Yes, this is why I made the thread, it could happen to any of us, and it would leave us out of the forum for months, maybe years, making an huge gap of inactivity which you would need to explain every time you want to do business with someone, and there's a risk they will just not believe it.

From this fear, I proposed some solutions long ago and I have seen a lot of others did have different ideas but seems like we need to wait more to see any changes. I assume theymos has other priorities than looking at this issue.

[Proposal: prevent account hack] A complete new login system for BitcoinTalk <== https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3371718.0

I just hope for the best.

IMO hiring a staff won't solve the problem since i'm sure there are too many cases to be handled by 1 person.

There should be automatic account restore with bitcoin address which already mentioned on these threads System to prove account ownership and recovery automatically - Demo included & [Proposal: prevent account hack] A complete new login system for BitcoinTalk
One staff only need to prove recovery request or/and investigate whether the private key was stolen if needed when the account was hacked.

Oh thanks ETFbitcoin for bringing the topic before me.
