unforeseen pressures in the shadows leave me no option but to leave the forum permanently.
Sorry to hear that, Lauda. I hope you find the sanctuary, sanity, and peace you deserve.
Since this is the Flag reference thread, I'll respond here: I've opposed the Flag.
I don't worry about future scams: the chance of the account getting compromised didn't increase. The risk could even be less than it was for instance a year ago, especially if theymos bans it as Lauda requested.
I'll leave a neutral tag instead.
Yeah, a flag seems a bit much, and I agree with our reasoning. Theymos has locked other accounts upon request, Mdayonliner comes to mind. I think there's very little risk the account will be used again, and less likely that it'll be hijacked by a scammer.
How did your PGP key get compromised?
If I had to guess; I would say the keys were not "compromised" per say, but rather the private keys have been purged and destroyed. Maybe a bad choice of words, or maybe deliberately chosen revoke the keys' integrity.
