Forum Password Reset

[KlaxonCow]

Have forum passwords been globally reset or something?

As I just received a password reset that I did not request. Just checking whether this is a global reset, or perhaps an automatic reset after a set period of time, or if it's someone playing funny buggers.

Definitely shenanigans

Right, I'll keep an eye on that, then.

Just in case, is there an email address through which I can contact a forum mod directly?

On the off-chance that this is someone trying to grab my account or something, so I can get it restored via other means (though, most likely, it's just someone playing silly buggers to annoy me, as any serious attempt would surely never give itself away so obviously to give me the heads up).

Not really. You're best posting here or PMing a mod or adim, probably me.

Seems to me there's not much incentive to request a password reset unless you have access to the target's email account (although not necessarily the account to which the reset link was sent if things don't go according to plan). Might want to look into that as a separate matter.

Yeah, but if they did grab the account and locked me out of it then I'd not be able to do that, would I?

That was the point of asking for an alternative route, you see. Just thinking ahead.

No I get it I just don't want to share a personal address on here and then get even more spam.

What others have done in the past is sign up a temporary account and then PM from that

Fair enough. Understood.
