Jared

I awake this morning to hop onto MMC. When I do so, I see a new thread by myself, describing some sort of stereotypical sotry of mine, involving the truck, apes, and the like.
There was only one reply, from kenny, "that story was gay, etc..."
I quickly deleted the post, (having not made it) and went on to work without much more thought.
While Im at work, graeme calls me and says that someone is making a barrage of ridiclous posts under my name.
I tell graeme to change my password, and he did. Along with deleting every post this person made.
Any post from after 10:30pm on the 25th, to now 2:45 on the 26th was not made by myself.
I go to the admin menu when I get home to prepare to make a admin post. Just out of curisoty, I search for "Jared". To my suprise, there are 2 jareds! One is mine, (bakushan@japan.com) and the other is not (bakushan1@yahoo.com). The difference in the post number shows how many posts were made by myself, and how many were made by the imposter.**
Then it was apparent that somone had NOT hacked my name, or learned my password. Someone had made an exact duplicate of my name. Information, post number, join date, everything.
This user was quickly removed.
I just wanted to let you know, the posts were not made by me, and that this kind of action will NOT be tolerated on MMC. If anyones user name gets hacked, please contact a ADMIN.
Im beggining to think that the mod's cannot be trusted, (who else could have done it?)
Im sorry for any confusion.
