I dont have a PGP or bitcoin address associated with the account. All of this is far too crazy. The problem here is that bitcointalk.org does not have a proper security measure. How can you let an email address be changed without a confirmation to the original email address? Also how can you let the password be changed without any contact to the email address?
Excellent points. The forum doesn't even validate email addresses though, making it so easy to create fake accounts.
Nothing will change on this forum - you should make these points where the new forum software (approx Feb 2015) is being discussed.
