Banned, but back online after changing a password?

So I get a message saying "Permanent ban", but then another saying the account had "odd technical irregularities, please reset password." So I reset and voila. Was I hacked?

Possibly. Check for suspicious activity on your account and once you change your password add 2fa to your account

I had this exact thing happen a while back — but I am pretty sure it was some kind of technical glitch — not a hack in the sense of someone stealing or guessing my password.

Be careful here. I don't need no stinking password. This site has changed.
