Account Reinstatement

[jasemoz]

Hi there,

 

I'm trying to get my account reinstated with no luck. I've filled out the reinstatement form but it will not send as it states: Please submit the email currently associated with your editor account. I am 99% positive I am entering the right email so I'm wondering if someone can check for me.

 

Otherwise am I out of luck?

 

Let me know thanks.

There is a jasemoz editor account but your email of record isn't the same as the one you used to register here. This is a security issue.

 

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 at http://www.dmoz.org/docs/en/reinstate.html.

Ok great I've sent you the form.

 

If there is anything else I can provide you let me know.

Hello again,

 

Thanks for the reinstatement

 

I waited until I received the password reset email in my inbox and just successfully reset it now. However when I tried to log in I get the same screen as before which states:

 

Your login has been inactivated. Editor logins expire if an edit is not made in four consecutive months, even if you logged in during that time period. To request reinstatement of your login, please submit the Account Reinstate Form

 

Should I wait a few more days before attempting to login even after successfully resetting my password?

 

Let me know, thanks!

 

Jason

a password reset does noet mean you are reinstated

you will have to make a request using the new password

[jasemoz]

Ah ok no problem. I assumed the previous step submitting identifying info would do both at the same time. But re-reading jimnoble's first post he lists the steps out clearly so it's my fault.

 

I've submitted the reinstate form just now thanks.
