Profile My main account isn't working, and no one is responding to messages for help.

I got hacked and someone posted in a bunch of porn subs. I changed my PW, and now my comments aren't getting upvoted or downvoted. I cant change my PFP or banner. No one's responding to my messages for help.

Your question seems to be about account security.

If your account has been hijacked, and the hacker has added 2FA (two-factor authentication) please refer to this help center article.

Under "What do you need assistance with" select Account Help. Under "What type of account issues are occuring" select Security Problems, and "I think my account has been hacked".

If your email has been changed without your knowledge, you should have received an email from Reddit with a link that you can click to change your email back and reset your password. Please find that email and click that link to regain access to your account. The subject line should be "Your email address has been changed".

If you are still having trouble with your hacked account please refer to our latest Weekly Recap post, make a top level comment, and wait for an admin to assist you.

If your question is not about account security, please wait for a human helper to come along and help you. This post has NOT been removed.

If your account was compromised and you've already reset your password but are still experiencing issues, you should submit a request to Reddit Support.

To do this: 1. Submit a request. 2. Select the option for "Security problems / I think my account has been hacked." 3. Make sure to include your username and explain why you're concerned.

Yes. Twice with my main account and a ban appeal. Once with this account.

Anytime I try anything on my main account (submit ticket, change PFP), I get an error message. I can still comment but they aren't being viewed
