Nov 22, 2019 at 15:07 comment added unixandria @EliahKagan yeah I guessed.. amazing how you can be penalized for an coount from 5 years ago, where you were a newbie, screwed up a couple times and voiced a rather unpopular opinion about anitivirus on linux that got 16+ downvotes....and now your banned for life from the site basically. As I've said before, editing the question has a smaller chance of helping than simply wishing for it.
Nov 22, 2019 at 15:04 comment added Eliah Kagan @linuxandria If you don't know (and cannot find out) what username or email address you used... yeah, I think you're out of luck as far as that older account is concerned.
Nov 22, 2019 at 15:02 comment added unixandria @EliahKagan.... When I literally have no idea the username or email used?
Nov 22, 2019 at 14:59 comment added Eliah Kagan @ThomasWard Thanks. I knew mods couldn't cancel or otherwise affect the bans; I wasn't sure if mods could check into them or not, though it makes sense you cannot, given how they work.
Nov 22, 2019 at 14:57 comment added Thomas Ward Mod @EliahKagan question/answer bans are handled at the system level. Mods have no control over those nor insights into how close someone is to receiving such bans.
Nov 21, 2019 at 16:49 comment added Eliah Kagan I don't know if your account is near to a question ban due to the old account's bans or not (that can happen, but I don't know if it has in your case--maybe a moderator could check, I'm not sure). You should be able to reset the old account's password. Even without doing that, so long as you have some way to show the account is yours, I think you can request a merge: on the contact page, select "I need to merge user profiles." Whether merging would improve or worsen things, or leave them the same, I'm not sure.
Nov 21, 2019 at 15:55 comment added unixandria I'm starting to really hate these sites
Nov 21, 2019 at 15:54 comment added unixandria @TheWanderer so because of 3 bad answers I can no longer even do anything about (don't remember the login) I'm now permanently limited no matter what I do??? That's quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Because editing questions NEVER works. People never remove downvotes and anyone who sees a downvoted question will Never up vote it
Nov 21, 2019 at 13:07 comment added TheWanderer @linuxandria it doesn't matter. The ban doesn't expire. Read through that meta link.
Nov 21, 2019 at 12:58 comment added unixandria @TheWanderer this account was literally back in like 2014
Nov 21, 2019 at 11:03 comment added TheWanderer SE is also usually able to track when you make a new account to get around a question ban

Nov 21, 2019 at 5:41 comment added Zanna Mod Note that deleting posts does not prevent them from being somehow (I am not sure how) counted towards bans.
