I'm used to spammers trying to register new accounts with the Rancor Pit, but now we have a new issue...

PapaJoeMambo registered in 2014 and posted three posts in 2017. He was a real Star Wars D6 fan at the time.

PapaJoeMambo wrote:

Since then, a spammer (obviously with a lesser command of English) "hacked" into PapaJoeMambo's account and posted the above post (URLs removed above, and the original post quoted is now archived out of public view). I had no choice but to inactivate his account so the spammer can't continue spamming us.

If the original owner of the account wants to post again, he may have to create a new account, but he can email the Rancor Pit and we can investigate options. His real three posts are still visible on the forum.

    (1) It is extremely important that you have a current, functional email address in your Profile.

    (2) I urge you all to please consider how difficult it would be for someone to guess your password. You may want to update your password, which you can easily do in your Profile.

    (3) Please report spam posts here.

Thank you.
