I'm not quite sure if this would be considered as bug, if it isn't then i sincerely apologise.. Well i was on juts a while ago and while i was in the process of replying to a thread (espen's thread http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=181274) i realised that when i pressed the send button my username had changed to King Zargo, I'm not quite sure how this happened but i was quickly assured that it happens but very rarely so i don't have to worry..
 
Well at least the issue is being serious and not mistaken for as a joke.

How can this happen though, it almost makes me think you hacked someone's account without any prior knowledge
 
I'll pin this to avoid dupe threads being created. (I'll also copy this to the suggestions forum)
 
that's awesome so if i accidentally log in as a mod can i ban whoever i want

I don't think it would be cool, if someone does log in with your account and posts shit around here.

well the scary problem is that someone who accidentally stumbles upon your account and then changes everything or even manages to get you banned!! is a scary thing man...
 
Makes me wonder how often this happens when a person tries to log in.

I just stay permanently logged in on my main computer. Scary to think someone else could get you banned...

And you can't get un-banned because the mods won't believe you. Freaky.

Not always
If you have been here for a while and always have been a good member, there is a chance they may unban you (if you give a good reason why it wasn't you)

We have ways of tracking each post to an IP address. If the ban-worthy post came from the IP address of another member, or rather one that has no link with any previous addresses used by that member, we'd look further into the situation instead of setting an automatic ban.
