    Hi,
    People from college got into my account a few times and made weird threads as a joke.
    Was just wondering how can I remove them?

    Have you asked the Mods of the relevant forums?

    "Got into", as in account was left open?
    I'm sure mods can be accommodating but do take note that you are responsible for what's posted under your username.

    It gets beaten out of them at the initiation process. They get paddled by all the other mods.

    Thats a bit unfair or harsh even, same thing happened to me recently enough, I had to ring a mod friend and get them to siteban me. Friends were in my apartment, I had to leave them to rescue a broken down car and they went to town on my boards and facebook. They also removed my bathroom door and put deep heat in the shower head. It's all good fun and nothing that can't be fixed though

    I think the point being made is that sometimes, sh1t happens. Who hasn't been fraped? Loving the deep heat though.

    yes, we've all been there, but we're the only ones that can prevent it.

    untick remember me, have your laptop/pc lock after a minute, ignorance or trusting your friends - friends term is used loosely here - isn't an excuse if fairness.

    People smart enough to log out if there's a chance someone else will use the same machine.

    My machine was working away doing something and I had to leave in a hurry, nothing to do with not being smart enough

    Two clicks. It's not time consuming.

    I find it's easier to just lock the laptop. No one knows the password but me.

    So that's three ways that take less than 5 seconds.
