h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Both these accounts <./>U516948</.> and <./>U199531</.> which are pending moderation were NOT opened by Rev Nick. Whoever is using these accounts are deliberately changing their name to Rev Nick {Only the dead are without fear}.
You're going to ask me how i know this. I spoke to Nick this morning and it was him that pointed out these accounts to me.
One of these imposter accounts has added me to thier friends list and also subscribed to a couple of my journals.
I have my suspicions who one of the cloners is, the other i have no idea. I am aware that Nick is banned, but this type of cloning is really not helping the situation and giving the eds unecessary work.
Can someone look into this please.

I agree with you Venus, it certainly doesn't help!

Can anything be done to stop this impersonater?
Like i said i think i know who is doing this, but i can't name names as i have no proof.

I fully understand things are difficult for you. Let's see what happens

Thank you for alerting us to this - we're dealing with it in-house now.

Thankyou, much appreciated.

Hello again.
Sorry to be a nuisance, but one of the accounts that was being used by someone else the other day (see post 1) <./>U516948</.> is being used again, this time person has named themselves as the real life name of another researcher that uses this site. Can someone do anything as they are giving real life details of another researcher without their knowledge.

i can't see any posts, but if you know where to find them, you'll have to yikes them. First of all, there is no ed around, and second, the eds can't do anything about the posts unless you yikes them.

He has'nt posted anything yet, just done the name tag. If theres no eds around then nothing can be done, though giving someones personal details is a bit much and i have no idea how to go about yikesing the name, especially as the ps is already pending.

I have no idea, either. There is no name tag to be seen.

No, not on the ps itself, but it shows up on the online list and on the friends list. Also when you look on thier conversation list, though they have probably changed it again now. Thing is, the accounts are hacked and should have been blocked.

Panic over, the whole space has been wiped now.

So did you yikes it then?

Whatever, I haven't seen any of the things you mentioned, so all I can suggest you is to yikes any impersonation you see.

Bel, there were no postings to be yikes. The only way to clear a tag is via the Eds. Unless the imposter has deleted them.

I must admit, I too have seen tag names in the list which have only been shown as U numbers on their PS.

Let's hope this can be resolved asap

It is possible to yikes a personal space (see the very bottom of the screen). This is probably appropriate when a name-tag is offensive.
