Hey everyone, I got an email a few days ago stating my account was banned. I was really confused because I only post every few months and browse 99% of the time. Checked my other emails and saw there were some "hot dating site find singles in your area" type posts made from my account RIP which explains the ban. Obviously I didn't make those, to be honest I don't even know what language some of those letters are from but the reply from another user was pretty funny
Anyone know the best way to get in touch with someone to remedy this? I can't even view the forum anymore because of the ban.
Your account was not "hacked" when the password was known. You likely used the same username and password on other websites and one of those was compromised or you used a tool to store username and password or some other security issue that was isolated to your computer.

Sorry you're right, not hacked, most likely a mistake on my part from not converting my old password to my password manager. I saw @Vetteman Jack sent you my account details but I'll send them too just in case. Appreciate the quick help and I'll take more care from now on.
