Some guy impersonated me with 'prospantan7'. He was actually a pretty good guy and all. When talked to about it, he said he didn't try to ruin people's accounts. He posted thoughtful and intelligent things. I can't really see his motive for doing this though.

i haven't been impersonated myself...
luckily, even if it happened, as mentioned, looking at the joined dates solves everything.
and for the mods that it happens to, just looking at their role is even more obvious than dates

This is becoming a growing problem on Bungie.net which the Moderators are well aware of. If you so happen to encounter an impersonator, please report to a Moderator as soon as possible so the scum bag can be removed asap. I sympathize with the community when I say this is an annoying problem, hopefully Achronos will find a solution to this problem.

Heh. So I hear hunter has an impersonator...

Yeah. Not much you can do. It's not really a huge problem. It's an annoyance, but not a problem. A problem would be is the mod's tools stopped functioning. Mabye to solve it the name could be compared with other B.net names to see if there are captiol i's where lowercase L's were and such, rather then changing the fonts. So for Kilroy's name if someone put KiIroy with a capitol i it wouldn't let them make the name

It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial. And it is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves the flag, whose coffin is draped in the flag that allows the protester to burn the flag.Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC

There is a reason I am user ID 1 and my account creation date is before this site came online.

Sure sure, I bet you guys get your giggles by randomly 7 day banning someone and then write it off as a "miscommunication error". That's just sick and wrong!! I like it!!

I guess someone could make an account called kd6shw. Nobody would really notice. I would be flattered to have an impersonator.

Yes, let's encourage people to be imposters. *sigh*

The mods V2 are really funny.


Anyway HAHAHA noone can impersonate me!


Why not? It wouldn't be difficult. Just change the O to 0.

I have never been cloned, as far as I can tell at least. I'm happy about that fact.

I think if I were gonn clone you, frag, I would just lose the "r."

'Si Fragula'? What, is he Spanish or something?

Estan hablan español, verdad?

The real problem is not the impersonaters, because it is easy to tell which is which by their posting habits (you do have posting habits, right). The real problem is when someone goes around with a name like "ihate_____" or "_____sucks." They go around causing a lot of spam, and if people are already slightly annoyed at ______, you get more members doing the same thing, causing more trouble. I can't wait for the wave of "ihate_ihate______."

They use a capital i instead of a lowercase L

Example : Blinx (lower case L)
BIinx (Capital I)

Phrog pilots, reckless and free. We would strap into our birds, set the engines on fire, and leave these earthly bonds with a chorus of WHOP WHOP WHOP. Akin to beating your chest and howling in defiance at the rest of the world.

I find it tacky and unoriginal really. Sometimes it's just plain creepy too. Taking Sir Fragula's imposter for instance, he went to the trouble of copying all of your profile information as well.
Weird simulacrums.
