My account was locked?

Sharp Shooter 2

New member
I have an old account under Sharp Shooter. I received this message below.

"Your account is currently security locked and awaiting a password reset. A request was sent to X@X.com
Resend request"

Really smart to do that, I don't use the email anymore that was attached to that account. Can you moderators put the email from the Sharp Shooter 2 account on to the Sharp Shooter account and delete this account?
 
This illustrates the importance of keeping your account details up to date.

The administration team are not mind readers, how are they supposed to know your email on file is not in use.

I doubt very much your request will be honored.

This could also be used as a way to hijack someone's account.

For example I could have created this sharp shooter 2 account and posted this request and if honored by the administrative team then I would be in control of the original account.
 
This happened to me they sent the email to confirm my account to an email account "shaw" that I don't even have- had to re-register as ivobb my old username was ivob. tired of the chit would rather have the option of permanetly deleting my account.

Is life really that hard to manage for people where they just throw their arms up and quit things over the smallest of inconveniences ?

How do these people handle income tax problems or investment issues or complex insurance claims or legal matters ?
 
Dave D are you the CGN police?

Yeah I was very inactive on here in the past several months, years. My fault for having an old email. I didn’t blame anybody but certainly am not going to be arguing with a keyboard warrior about it.

I hope the mods just delete this thread and my profile.

Why TF do you think? You have been here 3 years wooptie do.
I will tell you why. Older guys have been here 25 years and they know how to do some things. But other things computer related not so much, its not worth the hassle and frustration with a site on the way out anyways . And im not exactly computer illiterate and yet this site gave me problems re registering. Its like a guy coming home from work the last 25 years and the doors are locked and windows boarded up. Not only that, a mod could easily send the proper email that some didn't get to reinstate their old name and trader rating . But no. You think a CGN mod would do that? Not f ing likely.
So a guy here with a perfect trader rating of 600 goes away on holidays or doesnt realize his old email was not correct anymore comes here and BOOM. All gone. And yet this person who had part in a site for 25 years will get ZERO SUPPORT to what would be incredibly easy to re instate by clicking a few buttons. Will that happen? Not a snowballs chance in hell.

There are over 200,000 members on CGN.
Are you suggesting the administrative team and Moderators should have sifted through everyone user profile to make changes.

How would a moderator verify your actually the valid account owner ?

Perhaps an unscrupulous person could make an account named "zedex2" and claim to be the owner of the original zedex account.

Can you imagine the monumental task of validating 200k or more accounts ?

They already have their hands full keeping people in check.

Myself included at times.
