Should this user be tagged? The name is pretty deceptive and not really a parody account or anything so could be used for shenanigans in the future. Title: Re: DannyHamilton imposter?

I often see members with user-names like 'Sat0shi Nakam0to' etc which should be banned as well. Title: Re: DannyHamilton imposter?

But I dont think he entertains this sort of stuff anymore as far as I have heard. You can still contribute to the forum with this account because that is what one creates an account on a forum - to join the discssions and to get to know new things about something they previously did not know. I am sure you have something else in mind. :P Title: Re: DannyHamilton imposter? Post by: btc-facebook on February 23, 2018, 03:38:30 PM .....Do I have the freedom to create a user name? There are many probability to create a name in this forum. But if someone using the name of well known member, I believe the chance level of being coincidence is really really low except they already aware that DannyHamilton already exist and you already know that he is the most trusted member of this forum Title: Re: DannyHamilton imposter? Post by: Vod on February 23, 2018, 05:48:34 PM Do I have the freedom to create a user name? YES YOU DO! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise! I also have the freedom to distrust you for your choice of name. :-\ Title: Re: DannyHamilton imposter? Post by: hilariousetc on February 23, 2018, 06:31:50 PM Before that, I didn't know the existence of the user name of DannyHamilton. I just created this account and it didn't take long. Do I have the freedom to create a user name? I don't for one minute believe that you created this username randomly and without knowing the existence of the original account in question. Claiming so makes this situation look much worse and suspicious in my opinion. Changing n to m is a well known tactic of impostors. Title: Re: DannyHamilton imposter?

The name is pretty deceptive and not really a parody account or anything so could be used for shenanigans in the future. Why did you choose to create the username 'DannyHamilton" ? Is that your name? Did you just randomly think it up? Title: Re: DannyHamilton imposter? Post by: nullius on February 24, 2018, 01:49:19 AM I noticed that the real DannyHamilton recently red-tagged a bunch of merit-beggars (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=60820). Such actions usually do raise the ire of spammers, scammers, and net.abusers of all kinds.
@hilarious, thanks for the heads-up on this! Title: Re: DannyHamilton imposter?

A scammer tried this back in 2013 as well. :/ http://dev.martinlawrence.ca/bpip/search.aspx?q=DannyHamilto Title: Re: DannyHamilton imposter?

I noticed that later. Should have edited my post to append a correction. Title: Re: DannyHamilton imposter?

The fake one should definitely be tagged, or even better banned, so this type of mistake doesn't happen again. |
