Name Takers

I was playing on Stormwind recently and i saw myself.

Yes some dickhead had stolen my name, clan tag and everything. He pissed off pretty quickly after i joined.

I also saw [FF]PABH on another server and i happen to know that it wasn't him because for 1: He used an SMG Green_Surprised2
And 2: He couldn't shoot for shit!

How can we stop this from happening? Green_Septic

Theres really no way to stop it from happening unless you have a trusted password or something

It's something to do server side. You could implement in Iceball or PySnip. Also, the admins had plans for a "safe server" where access would be tied to your forum account.

Ha, I've seen people try and mimic the Sasquatch name a couple times. But I've also seen it happen to other people too. It can be pretty painful XD.

I started working on something for this a while ago, but never got around to finishing it - I should do that...

But yes, I've had at least 2 people using my name in the last couple of weeks, one of which was hacking (although that report came from Linkters, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually himself trying to screw me over).
