Observation NewbieThe spammer is using hacked accounts to spam. The accounts belong to users who have done nothing wrong.
-
And do you have proof for this? Or is this just some regular lie?
-
We can't help that. We have no way of recovering those accounts.
-
Observation NewbieJane austen fan was a normal user, you don't remember them?
-
All that we can do is record the accounts being used. If the accounts were indeed hacked, I can give that list to our admin and he can possibly recover them. In the meantime, we have to delete the accounts that have been taken over.
-
Observation NewbieBut if its not their fault? These users will come back and lost all their progress
-
No. Show us a link of that user.
-
They should make stronger passwords, then.
-
These users couldn't come back anyway. Their accounts have been hacked. We can't fix that, and that's the end of it. We can't leave spam sitting around.

Observation NewbieYou aren't GTQguy so don't try and speak for him
Trying to find their posts but they are all gone now -
Face it, the majority of the hacked accounts either posted their passwords or made the password their username. That's not GoToQuiz's fault.
-
Also note that I said "possibly", meaning that we'll work to get them back but it's not guaranteed.
-
Which ones?
-
We're the next best thing, because you're certainly not going to get a response from him, unless you want to wait a couple months on the off-chance that yours is one of the lucky few threads he'll pay attention to in one of his brief visits.
-
Also, Phan, whether or not some of these accounts were legitimate users at some point isn't really the question anymore. A lot of them were, and we have to acknowledge that. While I personally never say anything from Janeaustenfan on the forums before the spam, a search of their names shows comments on quizzes which seem innocent enough.
