I seem to be missing something here, but is this true? I've never heard of user except moderator or admin having any special privileges on this forum, except for LoyceV with its whitelist. Mate, is there any information I missed?
In case you didn't get the memo:
FYI: The humans handling the new account recoveries system which was implemented late last year are a company that Cyrus created called
Cryptios. alanst, 3dOOm, and Rizzrack -- the "mysterious newbies" who some people noticed -- are three of their employees. They've been doing a great job.
Overall it's good you did not know. Means you take care of your account :p
