close enough to impersonation

[Gun_Man]

Hi admins, Gun_Man here.  So I'm making this topic because this is about the 10th time now I've had someone ask me if I'm Gun_Mom or heard that people were talking shit about "me".  The player who is using the Gun_Mom nickname needs to change his name as it is having a direct effect on me at this point.  Thank you.

Just an observation, cause I like Gun_man and gun_mom has done nothing to annoy me, but this is the internet guys. People impersonate, people flame, grow some balls.

Wait you're not gun_mom?

[Gun_Man]

lol.  NOOOO.  i am gun_man and only that.

admin.  please do something about this.  i'm getting kicked from games still because of them.  think of the community.

 

i've asked them all to change their names, but they wont.  and they're ruining shit for me

They wont be able to do anything. It's not impersonating, they aren't saying they are you, its just a similar nickname.

This.

 

Your name isn't copyrighted. Just because they have a similar name as you doesn't mean they are you.

If it was coincidental then sure.  This is deliberate.  Put yourself in my shoes. 

 

At least after my efforts and as I heard Joe (thank you), one of them has changed their names, finally.  The only one whose identity I even knew.

 

Hopefully the rest, whoever they are, will follow suit and allow me to play this game without having to explain the situation to angry players twice a day.

You all used to be an "online family" - now you want him / her to change nick as it is causing you issues?

Hey buddy......why dont YOU change nicks if you don't want to be related to this person anymore? 

[Nyerguds]

Odd. I never have problems like that

[Gun_Man]

Adam i was never associated with them.

 

I only knew who one of them was, the one that started it all.  From the start i was against it, but it never caused me any problems until recently.

 

Why should I be the one to change his name when I was the original?  I'm done posting about it after this - just wanted to set your assumption straight.

 

Grateful to those who have stopped and indifferent to those who havent.  Thanks.
