Player impersionation.
hi all, this post is to say that there is a player who is impersonating me put my head on my body and my name is saying it is the original, and I'm fake. People who really know me know that the true self has 6000 hours and has nothing private administrators have tried to do something, but they spend the topic say I'm not like them, just do something when they implanted identity, but players can not do anything, so I have to keep biting back and continue listening to crap about my since it is clear that they will not do anything. |

Technically it's against the code of conduct of Graal.. However, it's a tricky subject to enforce if it's just a player, and not an admin. However, if a player is literally impersonating (I.E. looks, name, and is literally saying that he's the real one and tries to info from other people with your identity 'n such, then it's pretty illegal, and he can/should be dealt with.) |

Someone did it to me and scammed loads of items in my name, he even hacked a tag some how. I've got a screenshot just don't know how to upload it from my iPhone.

I still have my impersonator added on my noob account I wouldn't doubt if it was Toasty (or the person is continuously trying to be Toasty, doubt it though), though he didn't have my head or look, just claimed it was me to my friends trying to ask if he could "borrow" an umbrella.He's been doing that with other accounts as well trying to get something out of them |

Or you could always jailbreak, do OpenSSH and just do it via wifi. |

anyway, what harm could he do with your identity now that trade tables are out? Maybe he just likes your name or something, as there are many players who go by the same name at some point.

If they have the same name, it doesn't matter. But when they start claiming that their main is someone elses account and tries to get something from you then it becomes a problem. Especially for people who fall for it.

Oh right, the guy is saying that he's the real and the reals the fake. That sucks, I guess. Just make sure your friends add you so they know it's the real you or something.

The problem is that people can steal graphics using ifile. Just the other day, someone posted gang bodies on some website for public download. And long before that a leaders head was taken from ifile. If there's a way to keep customs from getting ripped, let's do it. Is there anyway to "hide" the files from ifile?

I'm sorry, but I don't think they can do anything about it. I've had an impersonator for the last couple months too, but I couldn't do anything about it and stopped really caring. I can understand where mystickk is coming from: an old friend of mine that doesn't play much anymore thought he was the real me when he asked for an item and gave it to her, and she was going to give him a taser when she got the ec for it. Luckily I caught her before she did though

Staff impersonation is understandable since the player can get vital information about a user, and misuse it. But player impersonation... 'Player is impersonating me, he has same name as me'. It just wouldn't work out.
