I'd like to express my severe disappointment on how the administrators of this forum handle complaints about hacking attempts.

I've got numerous attempts to hack into my account from 95.168.172.161, which belongs to the IP range of a bulletproof German provider. A complaint to this provider of course didn't help, so I sent a mail to the administrators of this forum and asked for blocking out this IP. It must be clearly visible to them from looking at the server logs, that this isn't one of the usual accidental failed logins, but an ongoing attempt to break into my account.

Guess what happened? Nothing... nothing at all.
Not even a reply which would shed a light on why nothing happens from their side.

I'm now even at a point where I'm so annoyed that I would cancel this account -- if there was a way to do that. Unfortunately there isn't.
