Interesting thread.
Let me say this, I have complete faith in what Sean and Mike do as Moderators of this forum. The forum was started originally on my site (www.entermyworld.com) by my brother and myself. When it grew we moved it to dmctalk.
My brother brought on Sean and Mike to help with moderating duties several years ago, and although my brother is no longer involved in the forum, I don't believe the moderating style has changed drastically.
Nothing is perfect in this world, and we all know the internet and the way people communicate on it can sometimes be like the wild west. But at the end of the day if you are on here it is because you want to discuss one thing, and that is DeLoreans. So let's continue to focus on that.
Tamir
For the record, been hanging out with Captain Carbeuretor (Bill R.) this weekend. Despite repeated statements that his password is not revoked, he cannot log in. I have this screenshotted.

Sean and mike have repeatedly said they didn't do anything to Bill's account. Bill has repeatedly said he can't login. I'm wondering if someone tried guessing Bill's password and managed to lock the account.

Tyler, I saw your post this morning and just now reset his password for login. I tested the login and it works just fine. Please tell him to check his email for his new login information. Just an FYI, on my admin control board, his old password was still blanked out, meaning it was never changed. I do not know why he could not log in. I know for a fact the account is up and does work.
Hopefully this will eliminate any further speculation that Sean, myself, or Tamir are sabotaging Bill's account.

P.S. for the record, if anything like this ever happens again, PLEASE everyone do NOT speculate, and just send me a PM, or have the person email me directly.

I've never tried to purposely repeatedly access an account, but it is a good suggestion. I will try it later on today with our test account to see if it does a perma-ban after a few attempts.
