Last week I got email from Reddit saying thousands of accounts had been compromised, my own amongst them, and asking me to change my credentials.<\/p>\n
When I went to the Reddit site I found that my account has been banned. I assume that whomever used my credentials had posted entries contravening the terms of service of the site.<\/p>\n
I used Reddit’s contact form to explain my dilemma, and asked that they reinstate my access and remove all the postings ever made in my name. So far, no response.<\/p>\n
At this point, I can only assume that I look like an ass on Reddit. I ask again that they simply remove my account and any postings associated with it. Come on, spez, take care of this.<\/p>\n
UPDATE: my bad. They asked that I reset my password; I did and all seems well. I should read the instructions a bit more closely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
