RefleXs Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Hello, I have a problem with reinstating my account. I used to be an editor at DMOZ, but due to work-related changes I became inactive. Furthermore, I do not have access anymore to the e-mail address I used to register at DMOZ. The problem now is, that if I want to be reinstated, I need access to my previous e-mail adress (and of course I am not allowed to make another account). I'd like to get back as an active editor at DMOZ, but since I asked in November 2013 for reinstatement, I can't seem to get access to my account. Is there any way you can help me? Best regards, RefleXs
jimnoble Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 If you tell me your editor name, I can check.
RefleXs Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 Hi, thanks for the quick response. Of course, I should've mentioned that my editor name is RefleXs.
jimnoble Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Editor names are _always_ lower case and so yours is actually reflexs I can find no evidence that you've ever requested reinstatement. If you try again, be sure to use the correct editor name without upper case characters.
RefleXs Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 I tried, but somehow it keeps mentioning that username / password is incorrect. As I don't have access anymore to the e-mail adress I used to register, it is impossible to use the reinstatement request form. I think I do not remember the correct password anymore, but cannot use the forgot password link. Can you somehow change the e-mail adress, so that I can get a new login and request reinstatement? Thanks a lot in advance!
jimnoble Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 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 at http://www.dmoz.org/docs/en/reinstate.html.
