View Full Version : a wtf moment

I already sent this as a PM to Stijn, but I want to make sure everyone knows:
I wrote a review for the level Wild Carrot under the name LegendaryDreamer, but someone (I don't know who) blocked the account on the main site and reverted the review to Jimbob. J2O rules say that you can not use more than one account per person, but I am slightly angered by this because the account at Jimbob is completely inaccessible for me (I said in the link in my sig that both its e-mail address and password are completely obsolete, making it unusable and so I can't change my password either). This gives me the impression that whoever did this does not understand. Can someone here help an old member out and revert these changes if you can?
Thank you.

Why did you create a whole thread about this?

I didn't know what happened so I wanted to make sure everyone can see it, that's why. You can delete the thread if you want. It's pointless now.

But why is it so important that everyone sees it? Seems to me that this is a matter you should take up with the admins (which you did, so at most this thread is redundant).

Anyway, for future reference:

The correct thing to do when you cannot access an account because you don't know the password and can't access the associated e-mail address is to ask an admin to change the e-mail address or set a new password. To avoid confusion and data fragmentation it is not allowed to create a new J2O account when you already have one. If you do so anyway, there's a risk that an admin will merge it with your other account, since we have no way to check for what reason you made a second account.

I was confused, it was an error on my part. Sorry. :(

Just a tip: if there is an error on J2O or JCF, try to think of reasons it might just because someone screwed up or doesn't know your situation, instead of assuming there is malice or incompetence at play :)
