Identity Stolen
So, I was down at the underground spar arena and it was my turn to spar. Guess who I am sparring against? Thunderstorm. Same nickname, same gun and he tried to copy my look. I originally was the only Thunderstorm on iEra because when I first joined I looked the name up on the Eurocenter database. I know this has happened to other people and I find it extremely annoying that someone can just cone along and steal your identity for what it's worth. Can there be steps done or action taken to prevent/get rid of this? Thank you. |

Pretty sure no one is trying to copy you and why is it such a big deal.

Yeah, I saw another Thunderstorm in Lethal. I was thinking why his gang is not thunder.

Whatīs the problem with it? Common letīs ban someone with my same look/nick. Do you have any copyright on that? I donīt think so. Also you should check the database for some admins.

A few days ago, one of my old members had PMed that there was a 'copier' in Domminations. So I go and look at their members. A guy with my exact same look, same name, and my old status.Um, yeah...I feel special.

Staff should take action, report them for it, if staff impostors get punished then so should these others. Gps need to do this work, its what they signed up for and why they have that power. Instead of making things "legal" actually do something about it.

You should feel proud someone is trying to copy you.

My suggestion, change your name to something more original, or add numbers to it so if someone shows up with an identical name, you have a more definitive arguement.
