I get your point but even you know/are aware of the fact he probably will never get his account back just like everybody else who have been waiting for months. I suggested starting out with a fresh account since account sales are not encouraged on the forum and he may lose his account and money if ever found out.

And this shouldn't be acceptable or the way it is expected to be. If someone lost the key to their house and their landlord said "forget about it, you shouldn't have lost it, go be homeless", do you think that would be acceptable? Absolutely not. Maybe they might have to wait a day or two at most to get a copy of their key cut but not weeks/months/years and it should be a priority. If their landlord doesn't have time to get keys cut and deal with these things then employ someone who can do it for you.

Forum hack - Understood
Losing it if not being careful enough - User's irresponsibility. They have all the rights to get their accounts back but considering the way administration works here, he has zero chances. To be honest, if I'm aware that my account may never get recovered if hacked, I will be extra secure while accessing it.

I've almost clicked on phishing and dodgy links before when deleting posts. Anyone can fall victim to them in numerous ways and that shouldn't mean the end of your account here. If there was better security measures in place here most people wouldn't lose their accounts or they could be prevented from being lost.

Agree with you here. Theymos is more responsive to you than us so I guess you gotta convince him to bring about the change.

Is he? He barely responds to me at all. I don't want him to get annoyed at me for constantly messaging him either. I managed to get a list of the top reporters for Bitcoin Discussion from him last week so we can give that board a dedicated mod, but no response after that. How long does it take to implement a mod? A few clicks probably. I've been suggesting there needs to be at least one there for years and still nothing. Simple things just don't get done and the forum becomes exponentially more spammy and less usable/readable as time goes on.
