so back on topic here cause i just thought i'd give my own personal experience with this spammer, though it could totally be someone else, however seeing how said spammer mentioned my name and my site in the cbox, i'm gonna take a safe guess that this spammer happened to be a member, or rather members on my site.
one of my members had alerted me that she was being impersonated in the cbox, and said person was also impersonating someone else. furthermore, she had an idea who that might be, but that person denied he was impersonating anyone.
upon checking the ip's of all the users in my cbox, i discovered that there were namely two different ip's that had created multiple accounts in the cbox. aside from the obvious impersonated accounts, i saw that this person would also switch between names, going from "sly" to "k3nton" and so forth.
so here's where i really started to think "this is a troll".
i noticed the cbox would get a lot of activity because this person would talk to someone else, and they'd go back and forth for awhile, as if they were really close friends or just knew each other well from previous sites. and said person would talk to different people like this. said person would also brag about previously owning a site with 300+ members and knowing the whereabouts of most members to this day.
so here i am, thinking that all these people are just the same damn person, creating an illusion revolving around this one guy.
again, i can't say for sure if this is the same person, but either way, it's still something to look out for.

I didn't have this happen as far as I know on my sites as of late -- but I did have it happen about a week or so ago on WOR.
Fun fact was, I was at work and they impersonated me as 'saska phone'. Anybody with half a brain knows i'm a) always staffpowered on my cbox and b) always iSaska on my phone. And I was at work. I never use my phone at work. xD So I caught it pretty quickly, but it was relatively bad. I don't know if they've gone around and done it other places, though. Not 100% sure if it's related though, but I seem to have not been hit otherwise.

Actually this guy just hit another c-box recently so they're still kicking. I mean it's not that bad, but the ones imitating @jea and EMMIE were the worst, because that one was literally the reason why DDO closed. So it really depends on how well they imitate said person and who they pick. Not going to lie, they must have some inside source somewhere to be aware of some stress drama points to pressure some of the sites with, and then just fail hilariously on other counts. So they must be part of the site and part of a circle for another. also, ranch with raw onion. I went there. It's godly.

It's godly.I'm going to say it again, if the admin of said site thought for a moment that it was actually me spamming their site, they could have come to me and spoken about it, instead of closing their site over someone who clearly wanted to push buttons / cause unnecessary drama. I had no clue this was even happening until after the fact. I don't go around creeping on sites to see if there is someone around pretending to be me to apologize to people for something that isn't even my fault :/ More so, those who actually know me, know that I'm not the kind of person who holds my tongue if I don't like something or have an issue with someone. If I actually had any issues with the person who ran that site, I would be real enough to personally speak to them and tell them I had a problem with their site.

MASQUE, I mean this in no way to be offensive/rude. But again I feel like this is being pinned on myself and Emmie who have absolutely no control over the matter. Yes, it sucks that there's still someone so immature to go around and imitate others and cause drama. Everyone is suffering, but all you can do is ban the ip addresses and clear out whatever abuse has been thrown towards the site. There was no need for an entire site to close over the stupidity of a person/a group. Bringing this topic up, over and over actually entices the trolls to keep targeting sites you may be on. Because they know they're getting a rise out of it. The more you do to ignore it/pretend as if nothing happened, the less they will specifically target a group/site. Because tbh, it's actually really offensive to say that the ones impersonating us are the worst, feeling like we've somehow provided them with enough juicy gossip/drama to cause such a shitstorm.

Kay. Few things.
1. I'm getting really sick and tired of breaking up fights. Stop stepping on people's toes. Think before you say things. If you single people out, I need to come in and diffuse. We're not here to talk about how one group is having a more dramatic time than you.
2. I'll repeat again, if a site shut down due to one measly troll, that site's staff were not capable enough to handle it. That's okay. People learn. But there are many ways to deal with a troll. I'll tell all of you this; the minute you switch your box to a Shoutbox, it gets to be a lot easier to handle, because then you have PB Support backing you up. It gets them far more strenuous IP bans.
3. I'll complete this later. Stop getting into fights while I'm on my phone at work. Not cool guys. Do it again and I'll have to go start having private chats with people, because I'm getting really sick of people picking fights with one another. We're adults. Get along. Don't point fingers like we're in kindergarten and when you do see someone pointing fingers, go report the post instead of engaging. Please.

ranch dressing is literally the shit like oh my god. dunk some fukkin' chicken in that shit and it's orgasmic. and like i recently learned of drenching pasta in it (just pasta and ranch with a lil' oil) ugh so good. then again, I'm also the kind of gross shit that will eat sour cream by the spoonful, so.
my love for ranch dressing mostly came from the fact that in elementary school we were forced to get these shitty side salads with ranch, and one kid was like "what if we ignore the salad, and just use the ranch for our nuggets" and I was like "that's weird" but I tried it anyway, and it was fantastic.
I'm so much worse with ketchup tho. like I'll smother rice with ketchup. I don't give a fuck. These days I've kind of pulled back on my ketchup obession, but I would put it on literally anything as a kid. RICE WITH KETCHUP [SCREECHES] DESTROY Antiviral

just wanted to pop in and say that we had this person on Rokke in December like, a day after we opened. They impersonated a staff on the site and then disappeared after being banned, but I did that IP lookup and they were in Florida also. Kissimmee or w/e.
just. you know. an update. In case anyone is really looking into this.

Okay just to simplify: they know who has a beef with who in some cases, so they're using that, that means someone is watching who is having drama with who. I'm not trying to start a fight I'm trying to let you guys know that someone is using your names to make you guys look really, REALLY bad, and know exactly who to go after to make it a maximum impact because they know you two's history of who you've disagreed with, which means they know you two.
But I'm assuming it's the same person, which considering their MO, is highly unlikely, and might be more then one running around, which is a bigger cause for concern because we got the stupid one, and then we got the one that's actually feeding from the community.
/half expects this one on wherever I am now.
