Silk Road forums

Just heard back from DPR and he confirmed that you *will* need to start a new forum account as there is no way to recover a lost forum account.

i'm sure i want to reply....

Please don't continue to spam after you've gotten out of the Newbie subforum - especially not by bumping threads that are over a year old.

Okay - sent off a quick short message and I'll keep this thread open so I can come back and give you an update as soon as I hear back.

See I have to post about a vendor doing shady things and I cannot post

As I just mentioned in reply to this same post in another thread, even though you are still in the Newbie subforum, you can absolutely post about your experience!  I would encourage you to do that - it'll help warn others as well!

This kind of info (the sole purpose of which is hacking / harm) is not permitted here. 

This is not true in all cases brother. my account seemed to be hacked and I was getting logged out constantly. I kept logging in and trying to change my password until I got it changed.
I did not get logged out even 1 time after that. It was like someone was logging in so it was booting me out.
Now i never entered my password anywhere else, and I use the same link on the same comp every time. Ever since I have not entered my password if the logging screen has only a small ammount
of letter or numbers.
In this time one of my customers sent his address to me in a private note link, when I went to check the link it had been read already. I also had some domestic mail go missing
these where the one's that the address where not encrypted. This Is very strange because I pack everything well and vac seal everything as well.
There is a defeated hack going on and it is likely cops because of the missing mail.I refunded all orders 100% so don't go calling me a scammer This is real.
I am a vendor it would be a bad move for me to just spread FUD.
I think there is an operation going on and they are just sitting on a fair few account without changing anything so they can gather info like address and your bitcoin address.
In my opinion every SilkRoad user should change their passwords now and only use their vendors original pgp public key to encrypt all comm's and all address. If the account has been compremised
then the hijacker wont be able to read your messages or address.

You weren't being logged out by hackers - you were being logged out just like the rest of us due to changes made in the server to fight against the DoS attacks.  DPR made an announcement about it, and it continued to occur for me even as recently as yesterday.  The 3-character captcha is nothing to worry about - it has happened before and even though it doesn't "work" it's not dangerous.  All you need to do is refresh the page and it should give you a normal length captcha.

The issues you have with privnote and your mail have nothing to do with SR.

There is no hijacker or hacker or operation going on - the people who were locked out of their accounts were locked out because they provided their login details and PIN to a phishing site.

I'm not sure about anonymously, but you can log into PayPal, click on "Add Funds" and select the MoneyPak option.  You can then input the MP info and submit it.  It will then tell you the balance on that MP, and from that screen, just be sure to cancel or return to PayPal without funding your account.
