Well, i hope most of you and the mods are aware of this problem. Trolls creating a fake account with the name of an existing player or also the troll changing his name for one already existing with the purpose of impersonate the original player and get him into troubles.
I think is an important problem because many of the times this happens, the original player is not even online to stand up for himself. And it doesn't even matter if the original player is online because in the end, the troll just keep going on global swearing and saying nasty raged things and vulgarities. Most of the times this has happened were when mods are not online to help with the problem, so the troll just keep going and going.
This problem has been scaled and got worst this week. I've seen troll(s) impersonating BPete, Martin (he already posted a picture of this) and today was Comet, drnspdr and even me.
I think that when devs gave players the ability of changing their names was a good thing to do, but the error was to also give the ability to more than one player of having the same name. This is making the game a terrible place to be and by muting global chat doesn't resolve the problem because the troll still can get you into troubles and dirt your name. And is just useless to ban those accounts because the troll can create new ones to continuing with his low wishes to annoying other players.
Is a good thing you can change your name but it shouldn't exist the ability of more than one player having the same name, is a terrible idea and that's already just got proved mostly this week. It's problematic and annoying to all the other players.
Please fix it by forbidding more than one unique name. If you can't fix it, then i prefer returning to the era when changing your name doesn't existed.
If you want screenshots of today with comet, drn and me, please just say it and i'll send it to where you tell me.
