That dude is on DT? I'll have to take a look into that. This quote from the other thread struck me as a load of excuses and victim-playing:
~
He's been here since 2014 and doesn't know how serious plagiarism is here? If what you say about this account changing hands, I'll be happy to give him a red tag. And yeah, I'm not sure why he hasn't been banned already.
Jesus Christ, does the DT list have zero meaning anymore or what?
Oh by the way, OP: the feedback he left for you was not appropriate IMO and I'm going to exclude him from my trust list.
As I said I have only been DT2 since last few hours, I am aware that it has a different effect now.
I will remove it in fairness.
I definitely do not want to abuse this power!
But I would find it unfair if you all distrust me now...
I'm not sure what that "manual recovery previously queued ownership change completed" means from BPIP, nor do I know how much weight it has as evidence that the account changed hands.
It means the the owner was able to prove that the account is theirs (e.g. via e-mail address ownership, or a signed message) and regained access to their account, which was presumably hacked but I can imagine that an unscrupulous account seller could also steal back a sold account this way so it doesn't really prove much. The message itself comes from
seclog.
Yes, quite correctly identified.
It took me a long time to try again, but thanks to old e-mail duplicates, that have been in my inbox since 2015 (the time when the account was still in my possession), and some other checks, I was able to prove beyond doubt that I am the real owner!
