Help! I'm Saberuneko and I got banned on the forum, the reason given is "posting porn"...

I didn't do that!
I cannot mail the board admin, someone can help me?

If it wasn't you , then who? And how do we know you're not the same guy who posted it in the first place?

I'm finding this situation of yours hilarious, sorry buddy XD

Saber, are you saying that your account was hacked? Or that someone got a hold of your username and password?

If you say that, it's possible. Because I just came this morning to the forums, I don't know what could happen this evening.

Okay, everybody, calm down. Saberuneko, we have reason to believe someone may have compromised your account. Please e-mail me at zarel@wz2100.net so we can work to reset your account.

Let me explain what happened.

Saberuneko found a smiley online. He linked to it.

The owner of the website hosting the smiley did not want other people linking to it (since it uses up his bandwidth), so he set up the website so that whenever someone viewing the image came from another site (such as Warzone forums), they would see Goatse instead. Saberuneko did not know this, since he saw the smiley on the original website.

Goatse is a shock image. It is intended to be disgusting, to discourage people from linking to it.
