Everybody who believes that impersonating someone by copying their profile and/or profile pic should be something the mods intervene to prevent, change your profile pic to whiteflame's. Do not reason with him, do not start a referendum of bullcrap.

I want him to learn how it feels, anybody at all who would not want this done to them for an extwnded period of time, show whiteflame how it feels.

Unless they're using your avatar picture and they've started an account with a name close to yours I don't see how it's impersonation?

Speaking of which, how is it possible for 2 separate acconts to be named "Wylted"? I sent an account request as "anc2006", the internet stopped and I am not able to use that name ever. Now I am named something else, namely "Intelligence_06".

I understand this may not be impersonation and is probably actually him, just a question.

Since nobody joined in and thinks this is all okay, I have 2 options now, I either quit while I at least am in the right and avoid attempting to mimic/imitate apparently-rule-allowed aspects of other users who actually will react or I do it and get painted a further villain.

I will just quit for now because clearly this crowd think it's okay.

In simpler terms my 2 options if I want to avoid being mimicked are:

1) Be something they don't want to mimic whatsoever. The drawback is the flack that comes with being it.
2) Mimic a person who will react and can push for the change in the enforcement.

Neither of these will work here, clearly and really there is nothing to gain other than look pettier about a rule that actually does matter in the eyes of those who haven't realise why it matters yet.

Eventually, over time, if more trolls turn up that mimic they will try to mimic others that get bothered by it and only then will the rule be changed clearly.

If anyone has a well functioning brain and reads this and understands that this is impersonation and harassment and should lead to a rule alteration, feel free to make the referendum MEEP suggestion, I'll nominate it into action unless it needs amendment.

I don’t have time for this lol, nor do I care. When I read something, I can normally tell who it

I've been away for a bit. Before I went away I did PM a user who copied your avatar asking them to please change it.

A rule change seems fine, just carefully and concisely worded. I really don't have the energy right now to launch a referendum, but anyone else may.

Sometimes it's best to close loopholes before they become major problems.
