AR15.com User Account Advisory > General Discussion

Posted: 8/17/2007 2:40:07 AM EDT

If you do not wish to have some jackass hijack your account, post racist garbage on the website, and get your account suspended, do not use your login ID as your password.

For example: If your user ID is SooperKewl, do not use "SooperKewl" as your password.

Is "12345" an acceptable password?

Posted: 8/17/2007 3:04:56 AM EDT

I would change it to something a little more complicated. For instance, my password is 41571 - my birthday. 4/15/71,

Honest question:

Say we have a friend, that got deployed, and had no access to arfcom. Upon their return, they forgot their password. Their email has lone since changed. They are effectively fubar.

How does one go about recovering a lost password if the email is incorrect?

Freedom to express racism? hereever any racism? There wasn't... You're either mistaken or that's a lie. This is my last account though, so I'm done. There was never an expression of racism though, so I don't know where you got that impression.

You posted racist garbage more than once. We don't lock people based on a lottery system, knucklehead. A link to the thread and explanation of why you were banned was sent to you via email. If you hadn't repeatedly violated the conduct code, you'd still have a membership here instead of being left with the option of hijacking other user's accounts.

That's kind of ironic.

At least if someone ever jacks my account, I'll know it was because I left myself logged in somewhere.

I typed out the proper explanation but I realized I was revealing too much. I'll just say this: Every individual is responsible for the content posted under his user ID. If he cares so little about his account that he chooses to leave it unsecured (by not having a password), then I doubt losing it would make much of a difference.

That's my question. Why can't you just change the users' password? I mean if you are sure it's a hijack.
