Shit sorry to hear they got your name boss, maybe talk to atko and see if you can have their account removed for malicious impersonation and then reregister it yourself?

This sounds like a reasonable thing to do and I will be happy to help out. What if the person is not an imposter and simply happened to register the same username? Is there any way you can get them to respond here?

You'd have to look at in on a case by case basis;

Both flytape and axolotl_peyotl have been registered by users who are clearly trolling here, and I would say it is probably a good idea to prohibit malicious impersonation.

Alllie just posted a link to this thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/botwatch/comments/28xzjn/i_wrote_a_bot_which_grabbed_the_usernames_of_many/.

Might explain a lot.

I see. So someone registered all your usernames through a bot. I am sorry that happened. It will have to be dealt with on a case by case basis. I guess the best thing would be to send an email to [email protected] where you request to take ownership of the account in question with a link to a reddit thread you made which confirms that you sent an email to whoaverse.

Now you see what kind of attack that /r/conspiracy has been under for the last 5 years. It's constant. They hate when people speak freely and tell the truth and will do anything they can to try to suppress it.
