Sean should stop deleting posts and locking threads
I'm ok with Sean locking threads, just stop deleting posts

eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

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.

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.

I think I know what happened. At work our Novel accounts get locked if you try to login with the wrong password more than three times. Once the account us locked the user has to call the helpdesk to have their account unlocked.For the record, been hanging out with Captain Carbeuretor (Bill R.) this weekend.

Several pranksters at work figured this out and sometimes use this to screw with people. Basically they find out a persons login name and attempt to login with it three times. The account gets locked and the poor victim has to call the helpdesk. This used to happen frequently at work.
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.

That's what I was wondering....
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.
-Mike
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.

It's a good possibility people were trying to be funny and hack his account. Im not sure it would do a permanent lock out, but it is possible. 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.
