I see what happened here, WEB-192 was moved to be a "SECURITY"-type issue which is only viewable to Lindens, possibly because of sensitive info within, but I can't be sure until I check with Rob Linden. I apologize there isn't an easier way to see that past the cryptic error message, it wasn't intentional that we didn't communicate here. I surely would've. And about individual account troubles, I'd recommend contacting http://secondlife.com/support and filing a formal support ticket. Maybe that's already been done as part of earlier attempts at contact (but it doesn't hurt to ask). Best of hope with it. Re: the JIRA administrative side, that’s part of my job function.

As for the events, this means you can keep your 'discussion about Lolita, the book' event? ;) Well, if they would have responded to PingPing’s emails, phone calls or IM’s, it would never gone public in the first place.

Maybe it would make a safe password? What's needed is a new password when the old one is lost, sent to the recipient's email address. Unless you are using some asshat addy from Hotmail, that ought to be quite secure. As for the JIRA - I tried that with the same result. I guess someone there was actually thinking and decided that public discussions of a security issue would not be a good idea.
