Someone impersonating me using my old name

[StrejdaTom]

Unless they are harassing you or other members, there's nothing you can really do since you have technically given up your name and therefore anyone can freely take it.

I believe they are free to take it but I am also 100% sure they just can't act like her and steal her personality.
If they act like her and actually do stuff in her name they should be either banned or forced to rename (which is a thing, people with offensive nicks are teleported into gaol and forced to rename for free) so they cannot impersonate her anymore.

So yeah, unless OP has a proof of them acting like her, it isn't reportable, if yes, then there should be definitely some action taken from SE.

She didn't actually state that they were acting like her but that her friend had a friend request from this person, if that's the case then yes, you should be able to report them. If so, send in another report and explain in detail of what is happening including times and dates so the GM's can do something.

Edit: This would be very difficult then as they are dodging any way of you being able to report them. SE are very specific with their reports and need quite a lot of information to do anything about it. I once had a person saying very horrible things about me to other people (and even had screenshots) but because he wasn't addressing me personally, SE couldn't (wouldnt) do anything about it.

I'd document anything he says with the date and time. Again, SE need every little piece of information to be able to take action. Good luck

Exactly, I think that taking the name that has been given up is not a problem, as long as the person doesn't use that maliciously. As soon a malicious action is taken that makes use of the name to mislead anyone into believing it's you, I think you'd have a case to report. But simply using the name doesn't seem like it would be sufficient reason to file a report; it's legitimate to use any name you want as long as it is not already taken and doesn't break the T&C.

Honestly, if I were to change my in-game name (which I won't), I'd create a new Alt immediately on the server with the name I was giving up to prevent anyone from impersonating me - especially if I knew there was already one or more players with an ax to grind.
