You need to have patience. I expect an answer from him since the winter. I hope my question will be solved soon

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=497545.0

The instructions given above by Theymos make sense. How can a moderator respond if their inbox is being spammed? I trust you followed instructions and sent one signed message to each. On the other hand I did not realize that you have been waiting 7+ months for a reply. This is insanity.

Do you think that the moderators actually read every private message sent to them? Messages from 7+ months ago? This seems to be an unreasonable task to expect anyone to do. Do you find yourself going through every personal email you have received from 7+ months ago? It would be a very long process.... a process that makes zero sense to undertake for someone who values their time. The expectation that Cyrus and Theymos must spend their time reading months of messages is wrong. At the same time it's clear the process for recovering a hacked account on bitcointalk is best case inefficient, worst case completely broken.

Also roda, I have not seen you once publicly post a signed message proving you own the ETH address 0x634cE633deF89D115A6A6e56317D700F200F219C from your stolen account Radar19. Roda00 can you reply with a signed message here? It's easy to sign a message, can you do this publicly? This is a signed message using a BTC address associated with my stolen bitcointalk account kworrom: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=80785;sa=showPosts;start=940. The date is September 8th, 2018.

In my opinion what drives these account thefts (and forum spam) is the bounty and incentive programs. Roda, why are you so keen on bounty programs? I have a negative opinion about these programs and advertising because my personal account was hacked to be used in these programs! To be honest I don't like that these advertising programs exist, and I think they devalue the forum. It appears the majority of threads are no longer filled with people holding great discussions around cryptocurrency and related services, but instead short meaningless three sentence spam posts in various languages to increase reputation for the purpose of these godforsaken advertising incentives. What it has become is not endearing as it once was... my faith has dwindled in bitcointalk.
