My chat account is getting auto re-parrented to my highest rep account on the SE network (U&L) no matter what I manually set it to. As I have no diamond there, I have lost rights to moderator stuff in chat.

Right before mine happened, I was talking to a user who a user who had dropped out of the mod room we were in. We couldn't figure out how to fix his chat parent account. Five minutes later, my account broke too.

  • Right now it seems to be back to BH, can you access TL?

  • @Yannis Strangely enough, no. I tried several sites and that one actually stuck, but I still am not allowed in the TL and my name isn't blue anywhere. Normally I use C.SE as my parent (which still doesn't stick), but BH should have worked too.

  • I see wax_eagle got shifted around too. I wonder if this is just happening to C.SE folks or if there is a network wide problem...

  • Refreshed your profile to point to C.SE, and summoned @shog9. Give it another try, it might work now.

    I set my parent room for myself, but still no access to TL. And super search stopped working too.

  • I'm seeing the same thing (Home Improvement where I have the most rep, instead of Gardening and Landscaping where I'm a pro-tem); is this something that's going to have to be handled individually for everyone affected by having them post here?

  • @NiallC. I think so. Even as a mod I could not restore the complete account. Someone from SE did it (@Shog9?), and then it worked … for a while. My parent site is reset to german.stackexchange.com – a site where I am not active and where I have almost no rep. Strange.

Yannis setting the parent on my chat account got me back in. Likewise a similar fix seems to have worked for El'endia.

I think the "refresh profile from parent site" in the chat mod tools is what did the trick. -- Yannis

I have no idea what went wrong or what should have been done to fix it other than the poking at it with several sharp sticks that we did.
