Hey mods, this is delta_G. I can't login. It says my password is bad. I tried to reset it and it sent me a email with a temporary password, but that password was also rejected. This appears to be a thing that's going on, but I didn't really know how to get in touch with anyone to help without access to my account so I created a new one.
Bonus points for anyone who gets the temporary name change reference.
(A foul thing for certain. But not nearly as offensive as that mouse that shimmied up a CAT5 cable to steal a chocolate chip cookie from me while I was sitting at my desk.)
I just got a permanent ban (Sock Puppet) after I tried to log on using my phone. I suspect I fell foul of the new password requirements. The site did let me change password though and after removing my Arduino cookies I'm back again unbanned. Annoying though.
I wonder how many members are still out there in La La land after being banned for being a sock puppet. You can Google all you want, but when you try to read anything that might help you from the forum you are still denied.
Why I ask, won't you/they just let someone read the forum to at least get an idea of what might have gone wrong?
Pretty darn scary for someone who is hooked on Arduino.
I too got a "permanent ban ... sock puppet". Turns out that a simple "clear browser cache" was enough to log in again. In case someone else finds this thread using a different browser/computer like I did
