ABE, we have had problems in the past wi gypes using similar names and it happened again yesterday. This time however he/she has used a different method and if he'she had waited two weeks the names would not have been green. For example, China Doll has been imitated but the name has been written as Ch&# 1110;na Doll (but without a space between # and 1110) so that it is different but appears to be the same.

1 What are you doing about the person responsible?

2 What are you and the Tech Team doing to prevent it happeneing again?

3 Why have you made no comment about it?

4 Are you bothered?

5 Am I wasting ma time asking these questions?

[China Doll]

I have to say that I think the other >b>China Doll alias was just dreamt up for a bit of fun and because someone realised they could do it.

However, as pointed out by jno and Whiffey, if this user had let it go grey then it would be virtually impossible to spot the alias.

I emailed Ed and the techies as I don't particularly want to report whoever it is and have them banned from the site or cause any more bad feeling than there currently is on here. I did ask if a little word in their shell like might be more appropriate.

As I said before. I did find it quite amusing when I first saw it and honestly thing that if it was malicious then they'd have waited until it was grey to use it. But it is worrying that it's apparently so easy to do.
