Your best bet is to post on Private chat with staff; only you and staff members can read your exchanges there.

Just FYI, we've seen a few cases recently, including a well-known regular, whose accounts were hacked. So it's certainly possible that yours was, too. If you have a dialogue with staff, they may re-enable your 'real' account, and restore its history--minus the spam. :D

Maybe you were, and maybe you do.

Thing is, always enable two factor login wherever you can, AF has two factor login, and never share and reuse the same passwords across multiple sites and accounts.
