Urgent matter !

We have a really big problem with our board, seems to be a hacker of some sorts. He's taken control of our main admin's account and gave another account admin rights. He also removed the admin rights of two of our Staff members and basically goes crazy.
here's our board link : http://kotschopshop.com/site/
The two accounts in question are named "Test" and "Kotton" and he goes in the shoutbox by the name of "MAD MAX"
And if it's not a hacker, it seems our board main admin has gone crazy.

Basically what I'm asking for is to just remove the "Kotton" and "Test" account any admin rights, then we'll see how to proceed.

Thanks !

I know that very well, I stated it in my post too. And I'm repeating myself when I'm saying he's going crazy and not being himself. I'm not trying to hack that forum. If you check the users and their IPs, you'd see my username (king_george) and IP match here and there. I'm part of the staff there.

"Going crazy" is as subjective as you can get. You kinda need some hard evidence that they have been hacked as revoking a user's admin rights is quite normal for an admin.

You obviously have access to the ACP. Scroll to the bottom and click on "Admin History". It will give you a list of the 5 most recent admin actions. Underneath that is a list of the admins along with their history. Click on Kotton and see if the IP address is different to a recent one before he started acting crazy. If it is you might have a claim but if it isn't then Kotton is obviously just making changes to his board.

Would've already showed that if it was of any help. His IP is the same since August the 15th. The staff and I did our own investigation and either someone is using his computer having fun, either he is having a crazy breakdown because of personal matters.
I know I don't have any solid proof that he is being hacked, but at least I have proof that he's going crazy : http://free-shoutbox.net/app/webroot/shoutbox/expanded.php?shoutbox=44751567&stylesheet=22

And no, he isn't trying to make changed to the board, not without consulting the staff anyway.

Please review Section 12 of the ZetaBoards Terms of Service, specifically the first bullet point under Prohibited Content. It reads, "You may not remove/hide/alter any advertising on ZetaBoards."

Your board appears to have a code violating this policy and it must be removed. Failure to remove any and all attempts to modify advertisements or copyright may result in the closure of your board.

In regards to the other administrator, unfortunately there's not much you can do besides talk to him personally. Kotton is the board owner and reserves the right to modify the forum or permissions at his discretion. It's a different situation if his account was taken over by someone other than himself, but if the IP matches the ones he most frequently uses or has used, that is most likely not the case.
