  • If you’re referring to handling your account here at WordPress.org, then you should write to forum-password-resets@wordpress.org

    If you mean this site then please follow Tor-Bjorn’s advice and contact that email address for help.

    Please be aware that user IDs on this site (wordpress.org) cannot be changed and are set in stone. It’s due to a technical limitation based on how the accounts here interact with many other WordPress.ORG systems.

    Emails can’t be re-used here either. That would permit spammers to go completely nuts and register even more accounts than they do today with new emails.

    First off, thanks for responding.

    Yes, my request is in regards to this .ORG forum.

    @jdembowski I’m not trying to re-use an email. I removed the email address here and I wish to sign up with that email for again for a new account.

    Anyways, it seems I should get in touch with someone at the email address provided by @tobifjellner.

    Thanks

    That counts as re-use on the WordPress.ORG system. A user here can change their email but the old email cannot be used again here and that’s what you’re trying to do. It’s not you; it’s just a tool for controlling spam and abuse.

    The best thing to do would be send all the information to that forum-password-resets email address and someone may be able to help you there.
