A question

[EctoBiologist]

what happens if someone impersonates another user and takes their original account name (like someone takes FireEevee from me) and the person is actually a troll.

what do the admins do with the account?

do they ban it as usual or ban and delete it?

I'm not sure that's possible?

Well, the FE asking the question above you has as username EctoBiologist and as displayname Sylveon, not FireEevee, so it's possible to create such account.

Neptune's right. As long as you have a wiki username like you have EctoBiologist (I think?) and I have Rin Kagamine, no one can take that name.

EDIT: Ninja'd.

yeah but what do they do to that account?

I would assume they ban it.

As long as that person doesn't do anything, Mods won't do anything, I think.

But then suddenly, FE wants a namechange to FireEevee.

Then what?

But actually, I can't find any "FireEevee" here:

If it's an unintended impersonation, the mods won't ban such accounts, but I'm pretty sure they will notify them or something.

If it's obviously an intended impersonation used for trolling, the mods will ban them.
