Account was hacked and now the account is banned

So, my account was hacked. Hacker posted a bogus classified, someone reported it, and now my account is banned. Can this be resolved?

You need to contact a moderator, not create a second account

All hacked/phished accounts are banned for member safety.

Contact Lol-x, Forum Admin. Be prepared to prove who you are and explain how your account was hacked.

Next time don't give up your password.

You weren't hacked, and there's too much scamming going on around here for us to be tolerant.

I'd agree with you, but when the account is banned. You're essentially locked out of all rolexforums content. Like I couldn't even get to a logoout option. I sent several requests to the general "contact", but no reply.

It appears that you’ve been reinstated. Careful with that password, members could lose thousands of dollars because of a phished password.
As explained above you weren’t hacked, you were tricked into giving up your password.

Hi Tim

What will happen to the OPs second account? Will it be cancelled or something?
