Topic: Deleted account?

My Other_Cody account somehow disappeared, or at least I could not login somehow.

Than I tried to reset the password, but it showed that the email was not registered or setup, even though I posted with that one before.

I did put my password in a written book, so I do not know how I lost my last account and it's password.

I think the user ids are/were.

my old one

and this one

https://forums.hyperbola.info/profile.php?id=711

Both use

Other_Cody

as my user name.

I also see the old Other_Cody account before now shows

Guest

under it, but before showed something else, like hyper (something), maybe Hyper Teacher, though I do not know was under Other_Cody in the the old account posts. I think some of those posts I have archived.

I'm sorry if I did not post enough to keep my old account active, or if it I broke any of the forum rules by mistake.

I'm posting this on the forum if the forum is having problems maybe others can also see about missing accounts/missing_sign-up_emails.

And if my old account should be merged with this one.

Sorry about placing an external link in my signature on the other account.

And any external links I made in some forum posts.

I did not think of possible security-risks as I just thought that a browser or other thing would block any security-risks in-case safe links changed over time.

I saw the post about not doing that today at

https://forums.hyperbola.info/viewtopic … 8298#p8298

and did not see that in the rules near the time I setup my account or made that signature.

So if my other account was deleted because of that I'm sorry.

I also do not use a trashmail account, but I do not check it often, so if anyone tried to contact me with it, I may not have seen it, or it may have been blocked by a spam blocker, though I do not think it was.

I did not see any mail from hyperbola.info in my spam part of the email account, and do not think others who also use my email account would have deleted that, as it is more like a mailbox in-front of a house, i.e. a family email account. Though it could have been block the the account host.

My other emails that I get sometimes get are still getting through to my family email account.

I do not yet have an email account just used by me.

If anyone know a nice email host for personal accounts I can try to use that instead of the one I use at this time, if that is better for forum sign-up/forum_email and non-open and transparent times and types of communication.

I see "No problem if you register again with a working mail-address later on" so even though I had to make another account, as my Other_Cody account before did not show it had my main/family email account with it, so I could not sign in to that old one.

Though I do not check it often it is still a working email account.

I did not know if it was better to send an email about my missing forum account, but if others did not know about the external link policy maybe this will also help.

Or how to better make personal communication without it being as open and transparent as communication in the forum is, if needed.

Though as Hyperbola is likely mostly open and transparent in communication between users, I thought to put this in a forum post and not behind non-transparent and open communication in an email.

I also typed about how my family also uses my sign-up email account because I see Hyperbola may also wish to have "personal communication" and not just using this forum for all "transparent and open communication" and an email for only for sign-up reasons.

So I hope this helps to explain the external link policy and the sign-up email policy that are not yet shown in the

https://forums.hyperbola.info/misc.php?action=rules

Though the forum rules may have had a external link policy before, I do not see one now. Thank you throgh for showing this policy in a forum post. I do not know how to show a rule change, as I now know I should not likely show external links to archives.

Re: Deleted account?

Hey, the account was removed exactly because of posting a torrent-file. This is not okay working as this may lead to problems for people. Therefore the removal. In generic this is meant for the signatures as you are therefore creating a multiplication with every new post. It is okay to add links to free, libre software or good documents about democracy and more around. In general helping people for a better together. It is not so fine to add torrent-links in the signature. Sorry for being that harsh, but in the current times we are in it can get very easy towards a risk. Especially because "Spam"-accounts being created is another topic and also point of perspective for more work.

Our highest perspective is to protect the people here being active, creating a safe space with respect for each other. Not stating you had not this interest, but as said: Better be cautious before instead of having a problem later on. It is your right to create a new account with a working mail-address.

Thank you for the information about torrent files and/or links to them.

I do not think you were harsh, you are likely just being cautious to avoid possible security-risks, as some types of files may be more likely to be security-risks than others.

It is nice to be cautious about some things and to remove/not_use some things instead of having problems later on.
