Default Someone is abusing the password reset feature, how can I get help with this?

I received 9 emails this hour asking me to confirm a password reset for my account Elminster45. It's obvious to me that someone else keeps trying to log in to my account and reset my password, or maybe just to harass me. How can I get help with this?

Must be just someone playing with you, the link to reset the password is being only sent to the email you used to create the account, the one where you got those 9 mails, so just ignore all those. People doing that knows only your username but only you can change the password.

I have noticed a few people have started to think this is a humorous, and have been doing this to people. As Carlitos said they do not have access to any of your information, and usually it is someone simply doing it to annoy a user.

I'm going to ask if a ticket can be opened to limit the number of password resets per 24 hours, but I can't promise anything can be done.
