I am still looking for help with this. The ban really hurts. If there is an admin who is willing to spend the time to dig into this for me, I will be extremely grateful indeed.

It’s a good question. But I can’t say I know the answer. My devices have fingerprint biometric unlock and I don’t walk away from my laptop without closing the lid usually.

I work in the bitcoin space for 6 years now, so I wouldn’t put it past someone to be able to pwn me. But it’s most likely the Password Manager hack and my lack of changing passwords in a timely manner that did it.

Not sure if this helps, but here’s how I usually prove my identity on various platforms:

Thanks. I will wait it out and hope for the best.

This was the message that was posted (not by me).



I know my old password was leaked in a mass password leak from a password manager the other year. So, they probably logged into my account without needing to change my password.

I've since changed my password (today).

Definitely changed my password today. For sure.

Thanks for your help guys. I have emailed the appeals address.

I logged in to my offordscott account and noticed I was banned.

In my message history, I saw that a post was deleted.  I did not write that post.

So, someone must have hacked into my account and posted that message.

I'm hoping to regain access to my offordscott account.

I've been a long time member and it would be a shame to lose it.

Thanks for your help,
Scott
