Someone is blatantly impersonating Nick

I stumbled upon this by total accident today:

Except, that’s clearly not me. This is my actual profile:

Is this just blatant identity theft? 👎 👎 👎 👎 👎

Does anyone actually follow the rules around here?

I’d prefer not to be mistaken for that person.

Ever heard of two people having the exact same name? Even the same last name? 🤷

Someone swiped my username 🙂

I’m not quite following here—do you actually have some kind of exclusive rights to that handle, or is 🤔

Oh please, you can find examples like that everywhere. It would be great if we all had universal handles, but realistically, everyone has the right to pick whatever they want, provided it isn't already taken.
There are a few nicknames almost identical to mine, just with a period added. And yeah, it’s within the rules since the version they chose wasn't available when they signed up.

What is wrong with you people lately? Recently someone was whining about having their avatar ripped off, and now we’re onto usernames.

I don't recall anyone being granted exclusive ownership rights to a handle or an image when they signed up or uploaded a profile pic.

Besides, what am I supposed to say? There are like a million versions of melloworca6 floating around this forum. Just the other day, I stumbled across some posts from melloworca26 😬

Honestly, when I was signing up, I didn't even bother checking if my username was already taken or if there was someone else with a similar one. I just typed it in, the system accepted it, and I called it a day! 😁
