Could you refrain from posting multiple threads about the same subject? You need to recover the account via a signed message, if you haven't got an address in which you can do that then that's your own security mishap as this has been an accepted practice for a long time now.

i just suggested some changes that might free from work the admins and increase the forum security

i find its no sense to just allow some one to recovery his account if he posted a bitcoin address he can sign,
you just find this is needed when you already losted your account,
you dont receive any mail about "ey remember tu put a bitcoin address somewhere just in case some one hack your account"

thats a no sense rule, i can prove over several ways impossible to fake, and the common sense, that i am the owner of the account, if the admin
just want allow a signed bitcoin address because he has not time to lose checking extra proves, then that pretty sad..

i had this problem for use a stupid password, my fault, in 5 years no problem any way, but some scumbag probably used a bot, start trying common password over random nicks in the forum and i got in.

even if i had a better password, that doesn't hide the poor security this forum has when changing password and mails,
if we increase the security with extra common sense steps, (mail link confirmation) the number of hacked accounts will drop, and the admin work will decrease too,

so thats why i opened this thread, to suggest changes that will make this forum better,
