I don't know if there's an official place to report people, but if not I'm putting one here. A friend of mine on Super Mechs got her account hacked (Password was stolen) and everything she had on the account was lost. She was forced to make a new account and is now attempting to make up her progress. The Username of her hacked account was "hotlinesword," and the new one is "hotlinesword2," if that helps.
However, I believe that I know who the hacker was. Another Super Mechs player by the Username "nakainus." I request this player is banned and, if possible, hotlinesword could get a "recovery" set of items.
Thank you.

There is no working hack for Supermechs. However there are a lot people who try to scam and try finding out your password ("give me your password and I'll send you a cheat to gain tokens. This works 100%!!!)
And nope, this won't work but you'll end up without an account and without tokens.
I guess, this has happened to your friend as well. And as much I dislike it, its up to you to secure your account as much as possible.

Okay. I'll be sure to spread the message around, and I think the more "modern" trick of stealing a password is the "trade accounts" trick. You sure we can't ban the guy? xD

In order for a ban to occur, there must be proof first that he was the one who did this. Otherwise, there is a chance the admins would be banning a player for no reason.
Sometimes people give their passwords out and get duped. Othertimes, another player is able to figure it out on their own (maybe because they know the person well enough to guess their passwords). But you should never give anyone your password and you should make sure yours is not easily figured out. Perhaps your friend was using a very standard password, such as 'abc123' or even 'password1'.
Either way though, everyone should be cautious and make sure to secure their accounts. Never trust anyone to enter into your accounts. Anyone who can legitimately help you can send whatever you need by other means.

nah, you aren't making it worse at all.
On Battledawn its way more easy for us admins to find out what happened and what caused it. On Supermechs with more than 20000 active players daily (browser based), and nicknames + usernames its just more difficult. I often sneak into the chat and see messages about "free cheats" "100% hack" "cheat engine that works" and so on. The most funny thing that I ever saw was a guy who tried to get MY account. Even after banning him, he still used a multi to try it ("I can give you 10000 red tokens!)
So yeah, I am sorry, but there isn't much we can do.
The official rule can be found in the spoiler
