[meta] Dear admin...
Posted: 14 Dec 2014 07:21...could you *please* remove whatever flag was set on my account that causes me to always have to login twice in a row? It keeps saying I've had "too many login attempts" and requiring me to enter my credentials 1 extra time as well as name Sourceforge as hosting Shareaza. This even though the number of login attempts since my last successful attempt was 1.
AFAICT, a) some jerkwad must have tried to log into my account a large number of times a week or two ago and failed due to my using an unguessable password, and b) for some reason the counter needs to be reset manually by the admin (that would be you) instead of 1 successful login to the affected account resetting it as one might expect. So I'm going to be bothered with an extra login screen every visit until it's manually reset.
(This also leads to the question of who around here might have enough of a personal issue with me as to try to impersonate me for some reason. Obviously not an admin, who would have been able to succeed. Some ordinary user, then.)
