How you file a TOS violation report like this...

[kaynide]

Step 1) ignore the history. It’s not relevant to the problem now. Ignore the name swap stuff.

Step 2) File harassment reports exactly as they happen from here on out (take screenshots). If they say things to you that are inappropriate, stalk you or otherwise hurl insults, report away.

Technically, impersonation falls under 3.4:

In addition, this sort of behavior may also be interpreted as "Nuisance behaviour".

Oh I always thought they meant impersonate GM or something like that but I guess players as well?

Copying and impersonation are two different things. Impersonation would include attempts to make others believe the impersonator is the real person for some advantage (or I guess player character in this case).

I haven't seen the OP mention enough to establish that they're actively trying to impersonate his/her character. Depending on how the copying is being done, it could be harassment through nuisance behavior but we still don't have enough information.

Ultimately it's something the GMs have to arbitrate. It's not something that can be handled through the forums.

On a side note, I was bored and did a player search on Zalera and OP is the only Kat Mesuneko I could find. Soooo either something is being left out or some facts are being distorted.

OP did say they are using the old character name.

Remember if they ever added you to their friend list they can follow you even if you change data centers. It's says unavailable over your name but pretty sure it turns in to your name the moment data center travel comes.
They can also follow you on the lodestone.

Hiding in this game is pretty hard if not impossible without creating a new account.

With how it's written, I'd say yes. I think many players would be surprised with how broad the ToS actually is.
