Griefing in-game and nickname hijacking (impersonation)

Post by Aboba »

The dude uses several players' nickname, like FilthyPirate, Plahov and so on as his own, and fucks around by shooting/harassing constantly. This player was playing around 2 PM (UTC+0) in Unfreeze mode. This player repeatedly interrupts my gameplay by intentionally shooting me without reason and disrupting normal play. They are also imitating other players' nicknames, which causes apparition of impersonation.
This ugly behavior negatively effects the game experience. Please reveiew their actions and restrict him from the game, permanent ban would be good for this type of behavior.

Yes, the person entered Unfreeze server yesterday as "1" and changed name to plahov. He started insulting players
and shooting teammates. It sucks he changes to others names to make them look bad. Some thought the real Plahov
was the one being an asshole. I say we all go to his house and beat the shit out of him.

nah, he is back on the server (under the name Plahov, the fake one). could you please check whether the ban was lifted, or if the player is using another account? thank you for looking into this.
