[ARCHIVED THREAD] - WTH? Somebody is using my screen name to post topics! Staff: please lock my account.

Happened at least twice. I've been away for about a month and I found two posts under my screen name that I didn't write. My computer was hacked a couple of months ago....a virus was implanted (causing it to crash completely), dirty pictures were sent to other members, which resulted in a warning from AOL, and now I found two topics that I didn't write.

Also, I received two e-mails from a member here about an FAL that he wants to sell. I guess this person received inquiries about his FAL from an individual using my screen name. This is just LOW! Why can't people just be a productive member of the society, instead of hacking into people's computer and causing troubles?

Staff: could you please deactivate my account and let me re-register?

Thank you!

All you need to do is check to see if he's got a goatee or not. Goatee = 'evil' second.

First, see if he floats. If he floats, burn him. If he sinks and drowns, he's the real deal and is telling the truth.

They only hack me and post under my name on nights when I'm drinking heavily.

I'm just going to make this statement now. If I ever say anything that is totally stupid or something that pisses alot of people off, then I'm also a victim of stolen identity.

Just change your password.
They will try and log on with the old one and won't be able too.

edited to add.
My spoon feeding for the night will be for one USGI mag.
