I recently posted in a thread on the NBA general board, seen here viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1744382
Today I received an "and 1" from someone on the comment I shared in that thread. Here's the problem: While I did type the first sentence, I most definitely did not type the second! Now, nobody else is using my computer, and as far as I can recall, I didn't use a public computer (such as a library) to post my original message. So who could have changed it? Do mods have the ability to change posts? Did someone somehow hack into my account only to post such an oddly specific comment? What the hell is going on?
Was my account hacked?

Just spitballing here, but it's possible that a general board moderator or super mod hit edit on your post instead of quote. I've come close to doing that by mistake a few times on the board I moderate.
And yes, mods can edit posts on boards they moderate.

Re: Was my account hacked?
Actually, this sounds like it's the likely case. WIth this in mind, my edited post does read like it was from someone was replying to me.
Thanks for the help!
