Administrator PM?

kss55442 · 07-28-06, 05:29 PM

Is there an administrator that can PM me to help me with a supposedly hacked account?

Howard2k · 07-28-06, 06:31 PM

There were two accounts that appear to have been compromised.

I would suggest either:
1 - Create a new account with a strong password and use that.
2 - Contact chris@aximsite.com or martin@aximsite.com and one of those two should be able to assist.

Nope, no need.

Those people would know when they log in, they'll get a message.

Thanks Howard. I've already sent a PM to Chris. I'll try emailing both people.

Howard,
Any other suggestions to contact an administrator? No response yet to my PM or 2 emails.

Sorry guys for the time it takes to respond but Chris and Martin have been extremely busy lately and it won't get any better soon. I let them say more on this if they wish to share this. Remember that we are doing this on our own spare time and it is hard to keep up when you get as many email as Chris and Martin gets. We are loking for a solution on this and we will let everyone know about it. Sorry this is all I can offer for now.

Ok - thanks, Frenchy

You're right - it's just a hobby - but a reaction would be appreciated :)

No doubt about this one but as I said changes are coming that will make responses faster.

Maybe Chris and Martin could "farm out" some of the responsibilities, like awards and recognitions, etc. to some of the senior mods? I'm waiting on my "Bronze Referral" award. Maybe their software could be updated to make numeric awards automatic?

And maybe they can farm out handling membership issues to some senior moderators??

kss55442 · 07-31-06, 04:21 PM

I had preferred to do this offline but based on comments above it's unlikely that I will be able to do so anytime soon. I understand the board is a "hobby", but the membership still needs to be supported.

My account was one of the 2 (according to Howard) that was hacked the other day. Very frustrating to login and get a message saying my account was banned because it was hacked. A couple of questions that I'm hoping one of the forum moderators can answer:

1. What was hacked? Was the password compromised? Hard to believe the password was compromised since Lotus Notes thought is was a "strong" password, rejecting several until I came up with it. But anything is possible.

2. How does the "system" know the account was hacked?

3. Since there is an email tied to every account, why didn't the system auto generate an email to my address of record notifying me that the account was hacked?

4. How do I get my old account "un-banned" or at least get my post count updated to what it was when the account was hacked? (Old account was mkss55442.)

Any help an administrator or moderator can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
