Changed email address, left out last digits to prevent botfetches and now I can't access the account.

[Lithan2]

I need the email address on Lithan reset. It's pretty obvious what the email address is when you look at it. (it's also this accounts email address). I changed it because I dont have the old email and my password got automatically changed and sent to my new email (which doesnt exist due to missing digits)... which serves no purpose as far as I can tell, seeing as it would send the password to the guy stealing the account, not the owner of it anyway. Gotta wonder who came up with that one. It actually serves as a mechanism to make the stealing of accounts easier, since the guy wouldnt have to change the password himself now.

Isn't evading botfetches the reason REMOVE is inserted randomly into everyone's email address?

Yes, it is.
