Yes. If you saved your password to the forums so you don't have to relogin, then anyone who uses your computer may be able to screw around with your profile.

Ways to avoid this include making sure that he uses a different user account, for WinXP/Linux/MacOS, or purging your cookies and closing your browser before leaving.

Alternatively, the threat of grievous bodily harm is always effective, and much more fun. Who says violence doesn't solve problems?
