So what about the Reference stated in your profile in 2016.

On your profile it says "account @ mill0601 has been sold".
If it is true that the account was sold, it is clear that you can no longer log into your old account, which was held by someone else.

What about all that, is it true that you have sold, after that you now want to claim your account again, many cases like this that I have encountered, If it's true the account: @mill0601 you are the owner, you can definitely enter it, if it doesn't involve a third party, it's sold/hacked.

Then, this address: 15d4cdy9TgUyLstnVf7MDDaPK5tM6UepKH, whose, you or the second party.

I noticed that the current account the OP is accessing is also inactive for quite some time.
The OP was able to log into the newbie account and was unable to log into the legend account. The second account was created a long time ago. It is possible that even then some questions arose for which there was a need for a second account. After all, the nickname has remained the same.

In any case, if the OP remembers the password and he still has access to the e-mail linked to the account, he will not need to sign messages. Just need to wait for a response, but do not forget that active links also do not last forever (if you missed the moment, you will have to send the request again).

I am a forum member since 2013. for some reasons I got inactive from forum in 2016. yesterday I came back and wanted to start using forum again. when I logged in i saw that my account is locked. and there is a small Note that My account is Locked for Security reason. and there was an email to contact with. I've sent an email to that address meanwhile I've opened a thread here hopping to get a direct response from Admins. but I didn't got any response.

But I got a reply from the email. the representatvie asked me to provide a signed message with my old BTC address. I told him that I don't have that BTC Address anymore. and My account is not hacked. I didn't changed my password for 3 years and the 3 years old password still working. a admin can check my record and confirm.

My Account is locked without any reason and now they are refusing to give me my account back.

sign message is only required if I was hacked or I tried to change password. which is not my case.

I think I am getting injustice here and my account should be open.. if I try to change my password or if I claim to be hacked then ask me for a sign message.

Theymos clearly said here that a sign message only required when your account is hacked: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5089777.0

there is no need to sign message for security lock.


I need Justice for my account.
BTW My main account's profile link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=80716

Hello mill06012,

I see that the other account has been locked. Unfortunately I can't tell you why.
There are according to history no posts since 2016. Since when is the problem with the login?

I would recommend you to contact the mail address from the message and/or to the one from this thread: Recovering hacked/lost accounts
There are a few ways to find out if you are the original owner of this account. You have to expect some waiting time though.

You can login but can you access the account? It is not possible.

The admin or moderators locked it and only them can unlock it. It is just normal for you to proof that you are the owner of the account. Those addresses are the addresses you have used before on this forum, if you can not sign any of it, that means you can not reclaim back your account. Tomatocage stake-address thread was meant for reasons like this, to prove the ownership that an account belong to the right owner.

Signing a message is a way of proving ownership of your account. The forum's security system likely noticed suspicious activity (could be someone else who tried to login to your account using security question), so for that reason the account was locked. Now you have to prove you're the rightful owner for it to be turned over to you.

You didn't answer the question about getting an email address along with the notification. Locked accounts usually get one which they communicate with for recovery.

That's correct.

That's weird. I can't find anything relevant in the seclog either, other than it was accessed in 2018 prior to this.

Is there an email together with the ban notice? Can you sign a message from any of the addresses below:

Send an email to the email address stated and prepare a signed message for that. Instructions are in this thread[1].

Did you try to use the recovery phrase secret question?

IIRC, accounts used to be locked automatically if you used this question to restore your account... It was a security feature that was added after the big database hack that happened around 2015 (IIRC, my memory is quite rusty)

Sorry mill0601, you are banned from using this forum!
For security, your account has been locked.
