No answer from staff after 2 weeks? - Classy_temp - Dec 19, 2016
I have lost my Gauth/2FA keys to my account and contacted staff via the contact form. It's been roughly 2 weeks soon, yet I have not received any kind of message back regarding the issue.
Should I keep waiting, submit another contact form or do I have to give up my account for good?

I believe that loss of your gauth is the same as permanent loss of your account. I may be wfrong, I would wait for staff to reply regardless.

I'm pretty sure permenant loss of your account results to repkill. Nothing else

Woah, what a hostile reply. Having the guts to mock my accident as an excuse. I thought staff were supposed to help their community grow and thrive, which includes helping users who happen to make mistakes. I had not yet made a backup of my keys and my phone (which I used to authenticate myself) broke down on me.
To err is human.

Did you send all the information that's required to have your account gauth removed.
Also, you realize your subject to a Rep Kill now.
Wait for omniscient to reply or pm him on here.

I'm pretty sure I've seen him recover accounts without repkilling. Anway, good luck on getting your account back

Get 25 HQ posts (don't spam) and PM a staff member?

Hopefully this thread will get Omniscient's attention, but the standard procedure is to resubmit your request through the contact form.

What if you make a backup but your house just so happened to get target by a North Korean missile (let's assume it gets airborne) thus destroying your PC and the backup.

He's not lying, maybe you shouldn't lose your shit.

but what if the nuke destroyed the whole world I didn't specify the megatonnage. (i think that's a word).
edit
I can't believe that's an actual word...
Definition of megatonnage
: the destructive capability especially of a collection of nuclear weapons that is expressed in megatons

Should have been living on the moon at that point.

on a little bit of a random note, The term rep kill. What exactly is that? Is that just members giving you a lot of negative reputation? Anyway it is kind of your fault OP. The irony the this is a Hacking community and you can't even keep your own account secure and accessible. Probably time to go back to the basics when you get your account back.

A repkill is where you get all of your positive reputation removed.
