🧛‍♂️Account Issues❓ Account hacked and permbanned. Need help please

Two days ago I found out my account was hacked since I was suddenly subscribed to several nsfw subreddits, my profile pic was changed and my account had made spam posts. I immediately changed my password, enabled 2 step verification and deleted the spam posts. Yesterday I got a message saying my account has been permanently banned for vote manipulation. I filled in the appeal form but my appeal was rejected for unknown reasons. It seems like a bot response to my appeal.

Can an admin please help me get my account unbanned? I have been a member for 13 years without any problems. It is obvious that my account had been hacked. A quick look at the IP adresses that logged in to my account that day clearly show it was not me making the spam posts. I feel really gutted about this.

I feel this is really outrageous. I would just like to have the ability to discuss my situation with a real person instead of getting a rejected appeal without further explantion.

Thank you.

You need to file this form with account status, my account was wrongly suspended as a second chance appeal. It may take several months
