I've been on Gaia for a year and two months now and my acc was hacked last week, I already filed a hacking report so Im here patiently (anxiously and terrifyingly) waiting for a respond.

Unfortunately for me the hacker changed my name,from "Tai la Mar" to "raM al iaT", they changed my password and my email and on top of that made my profile private and disabled Private messaging. Ive been checking constantly, using my dummy acc to see if they sold anything on the market place, made any posts after they took over my account or made any changes on my avi. Thats the only thing I can do right now

I have a lot of rare items on that account from the top of my head I know I have 5 Alruna Rose (one of which is a 1st Gen and the others 12th and 14th Gen ) a 2nd Gen Urn, 2 1st Gen Gimpi and numerous over fully evolved items,I also have a number of MC dating back to October of Last year to now some of which are unopened letters. I have a couple of zOMG! boxes and Fluff box and also a number of OMFG box which I have yet to open.I have all Gaia Artwork and a number of other stuff that I had to put in my storage because i had too much in my inventory and to top it all off I have over 76K in gold and 170 Gaia Cash.

I do have lots of proof as to the ownership of the account such as an online reciept that I got when I bought 5000 Gaia cash through paypal, I have snapshots of my inventory that I took in June when I had decided I was going to sell some of the cheaper items from my inventory (but I have bought other items since then and I still have links to the rps that I was in when I had that account, so if you guys need those I would be more than happy to pass it along.

I know it takes a while for you guys to sort through the other reports and stuff but i'm deathly afraid that by the time mine's show up the damage would already have been done.

Ok now for my question,
so how long does it take for you guys to re-instate the acc?
what happens to the person or persons who did the hacking?
will the account be deleted then the emails be banned from registering to gaia ever again?

On a side note I do think Gaia is the best thing (other than chocolate) that was ever invented so thank you for making it a beautiful place to hang out

I have been hacked about 12 days ago (i think) and i filed a hacking report already...
I'm not here to complain and tell you guys to hurry up with my report since i fully understand that i'm not the only one who have send a report.
So i'm patiently waiting for the respond.
Anyways my hacker got into my account and changed my password good thing he didn't change my email so i had gotten back my account 2 days ago

I checked what he/she took and traded and sold in the marketplace my stuff... and i found all my rares gone...

He traded my stuff to 3 accounts... and i have print screened them...

But i can't find what he has done to my major rare items such as winged anklets, coconut bra, angebow, staff of angels, wild things and etc.
I have reason to believe he might have used the "give as a gift" option so i can't trace what happened to my beloved items,
Is there a way to see my "give as a gift" history?

And i reported the hacking report days before i was able to get back my account,
He/she changed my username.
So i can't change my username unless you guys solved my hacking report problem?

Anyways i used
Daraku Ryuso to report my hacking incident the hacker changed my username kOibitO to broz4life1.

And lastly when i reported my hacking incident i wasn't able to type in all my items since i don't really memorize everything i own... will i be able to get ALL my items back even those i wasn't able to mention in the report?

I'm really sorry it's my first time to get hacked and i have been in gaia for 4 years already and i'm just afraid that i won't be able to get all my hard earned stuff back.
Please do answer my questions

and last question:
what happens to the hacker after?
will his/her account be deleted then his emails be banned from registering to gaia ever again?

I was hacked on Sunday. I took proper action and have settled myself in for the long haul back.
The original account name was ChikaBerry since 2003. When I tried to login and failed, I went the long way 'round with my mule, theelasticwaistband (the same account I filed my reports under) to find the account name changed to chika-berry. I check the profile of my old account religiously, as none of the equipped items, including Inari's Beads, have unequipped yet. I had PMd a mod about the possibility of revoking the trade pass to protect whatever I might have left. I was replied to that the account would be banned until my report was processed. That was done around 2 PM today. At 6:52 PM, the account was accessed again. My question:

Was this a mod accessing the account?
Was I lied to?
Who could reaccess after the account was banned.

EDIT:: I have a quest thread up in case all else fails (which I'm seeing as a distinct and very disappointing possibility) that better details what has happened. It is here:

This deals with a previous account of mine called Shiroi Kokoro no Mendori.

Okay, so here's the backstory. At the beginning of October 2007 I got into a fight with another moderator (Ezra Savage, now just Ezra) in the Gaian Gay and Bisexual Boys Guild, which at that time I helped moderate. This turned into a six page debate among the five or six moderators at that time over whether or not I should be allowed to remain a moderator. Finally, the guild leader (spndx3141) was consulted. He said that I had broken no rules and was not going to be removed. Ezra Savage then told me that he hated me and would do anything to bring me down. He even went so far as to make death threats toward me. Finally, he went to a Site Developer.

That Site Developer was ariesboy571, now CirqueDelFeu, a friend of Ezra Savage's. Ariesboy571 told my guild leader that I had broken TOS for the guilds and would have to be removed from moderatorship. Here's where it got hairy:

First, Gaia rules state:

"Artists, Developers and other staff There are many other people who work hard to make Gaia awesome by creating new features and new art, items and much more for you every day! These people have brown names and may post around the site but [b]will not be able to help with Terms of Service violations[/b] please contact Gaia Moderators and Administrators for assistance."

Ariesboy571, according to the rules of Gaia, violated his privileges.

Secondly, the only complaint ever brought against me in the guild was "Banning people without cause". The Captain's Guild, which holds official guild policies, tells me that all guild crew is authorized to ban any member from their guild at any time for any reason. So I didn't actually break any TOS here.

Here is the message I received in my ban, in which my guild leader tells me he did not wish for me to be banned.

Here is the complaint sent to my guild leader, spndx3141.

I sent a message to ariesboy571 and he replied extremely rudely.

I asked the global moderator fubenkunai for advice (She is the most helpful mod I've ever talked to on Gaia ever. EVER. Give her a raise.) and she replied thusly:

I was banned on that account an hour later. If I hadn't been banned so quickly, I would have more screenshots to document for you, but if you want to look, you are able to go through my inbox, as ariesboy571 so kindly reminded me. I created a new account, lykongitsachicken. That account was banned within a few hours. My next account was Everybodys Happy Now, which lasted a few days. stopthebanningplease lasted a couple weeks. kaleinh was banned after a few weeks for making a satire post. On none of the other accounts did I make anything that could be a breach of TOS.

Whenever I PM a mod about this, I'm banned because I'm a repeat offender, even if my first bans were in error.

EDIT: To Gaian admins; please feel free to respond in detail here. I've got no qualms at all with private issues being made public. However, my current account on Gaia is I Just wont Die.

I have been trying since October to get ANYTHING that shows someone cares about this flagrant misuse of justice. Please reply. I'm sorry if I come off as ranty.
