Tobias Eichner Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Hello, some years ago I participated as an editor of DMOZ. Now I'm going to become this again... unfortunately I had lost my user credentials to login and any attempt to restore my password failed (likely because I cannot remember the correct username anymore). Is there a way to restore my account ? Thanks for your help, Tobias.
Meta pvgool Posted January 27, 2015 Meta Posted January 27, 2015 Tobias, Got to my profile on DMOZ http://www.dmoz.org/public/profile?editor=pvgool and send me a message telling me as much as you remember editorname 9as you remember it) your real name (approximate) date you joined in which cagtegory you started which categories you later gained access to your email address(es) you used as an editor until when you have been active With those I will try to find the right information 1 I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
Tobias Eichner Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Thank you, I really appreciate your help.
Meta pvgool Posted January 28, 2015 Meta Posted January 28, 2015 Tobias, finding an editor from so long ago with limited information is very difficult. I could not find an editor that could be you. Do you have any idea of which editorname you may have used. I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
Tobias Eichner Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 I thought that this would be a difficult thing... well, I have probably used a name like tobias, tobias77 or tobiaseichner. But I must confess, that this is more an educated guess. Anyway, I can remember that I added our own website to the directory (as well as others of course, but don't know anymore which exactly). It's starenterprise.com . Perhaps you can see who the name of the editor was.
Meta pvgool Posted January 29, 2015 Meta Posted January 29, 2015 does sphereology ring a bell for you? due to a crash in 2006 we lost parts of the logs which prevents me from seeing who added starenterprise I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
Tobias Eichner Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 No, this was definitively not a username of mine. Well, seems that we can't do anything. Makes it sense to register again ? Several months ago I tried to request a category move for our own website entry (from web hosting to software development), but as often as I made a request, I got no reply. So I thought that other people may experience the same trouble because there are no editors actively working in these categories.
Meta pvgool Posted January 29, 2015 Meta Posted January 29, 2015 I noticed the move request, but those are not categories I am familiar with. Replies are never send. I'll first ask if we have some other options to find old accounts. I'll let you know. But can take a few days. Please be patient. 1 I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
Tobias Eichner Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 Thank you. :-) I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Meta pvgool Posted February 3, 2015 Meta Posted February 3, 2015 Tobias, we have not been able to find your old account. You are allowed for a new account (it will be reviewed as a new editor, so you will have to make a good and complete application) Do not check the box "have been an editor" with yes, but set it to no. And please make a comment in one of the fields about your old account with a reference to this thread. I will not answer PM or emails send to me. If you have anything to ask please use the forum.
