Reinstatement of Account

[wheeldon]

I applied to edit a category and have received an email to say I should reinstate my old account, two problems are that I can't remember username and password and the email address I had was a work one which I don't have anymore. The second problem is that the link to the reinstate form is a 404. Any help appreciated

I've reported the broken link.

 

Whilst we usually welcome returning ex editors, we are insistent that they come back under their original identities. That you've forgotten some of your login details or you no longer have access to your original email account are merely stumbling blocks, not show stoppers.

 

Please contact me via http://www.dmoz.org/public/sendemail?editor=jimnoble (Don't use any other method) with as much corroborative information as you can such as:-

 

Approximate date joined

Editor name (but not password)

Real Name

Original email address

Joining category

Additional categories gained

Roughly how many edits done

Approximate date of leaving and the circumstances

 

Convince me that you are who you say you are and I can reset your email address of record to one that works today. This will make it possible for you to request a password reminder and complete a reinstatement request form.

The reinstatement request form is now at http://www.dmoz.org/.../reinstate.html . It might take a while for all links to catch up but the normal route in via
