So far, from what I heard, this seems to be a hotmail issue, because hotmail auto-spamfilters it.
On gmail, I got it straight away in my inbox.
I do not use hotmail so no idea where thats comin from.
Are you using Outlook or Msn then? (Just trying to figure out where/why e-mails get spamfiltered)

The forum account is the same account as your game account, with everything connected.
So no, you cannot delete just the forum-side without being unable to play the game.
I don't actually own the game. I played it once or twice with friends through the old free browser version.
I'll ask again, since it didn't get answered the first time around:

I understand that priorities lie on other things at the moment. Still I hope we can agree that this is bad practice and that it needs to be changed!

Months of bot spam in games.
No SSL encryption on the website.
Their forum phpBB version is five years old and with very basic MD5 hashing.
The custom captchas they had before it was eventually changed.
Multiple instances of devs doxing players.
The forums don't even use HTTPS which violateAct 32 of the GDPR.
The data breach happened on the 28th of December and we were only notified today, 5 days after it happened and about 48 hours too late for the GDPR.
It's almost unreal that the devs only found out about such a massive breach on the 1st of January.
This isn't acceptable from BlankMediaGames at all...

The forums were available in HTTPS, always have been. Also can I not find anywhere stated in the GDPR that websites are obligated to automatically refer to HTTPS. If that were the case than basically 90% of all webpages should be taken down.
Also, the GDPR states after they are aware of a data breach they have to reach out within 72 hours. Not after a breach happens.
Also, when did Devs actually dox players?
And last but not least: How is it the fault of BMG that a couple of trolls who couldn't have their way decided to make bots just to ruin everyone else's game?
