Okay, I'm doing this because I am concerned that this might get ugly.

I'll give the story, then the why this thread exists.

A few weeks back, a younger player (I found out to be 11 later) came into my room and we began talking. I added her to my friends list because she seemed pretty cool.

Things were fine until one night where I needed to talk to some other friends and asked her to leave for a moment. I didn't ever boot her, nor did I ignore her. She stayed in the room saying some awful hateful things to my friends and about us.

I took her from my friends list.

Next thing I knew, every time I was in a friend's room or my own, she would show up asking to be back on my list, saying that she hadn't said it, her brother had...and when I would say she had to earn my trust back or that my list was full she would go stand in the corner and spout any number of things from "cry cry" to "you all hat me" or even "i hat you all i will never come back".

This was a minor annoyance...every night, same thing. all of us hitting ignore or booting her after it got out of hand...until today.

I get a note from my buddy Fly that she has created a new user.

cbshorts.

Yes, that's ONE LETTER away from my username. She comes to my room as this cbshorts and is dressed like me, down to the hair. she starts with the add me to your list, you hat me, i hat you thing all over again. She even took it so far today as to say "punch" and "kick" and "hit" when standing in front of my friends sitting in my room. They put up a good front, ignoring everything she said.

We all have decided just to ignore her (meaning not pay attentiion...we don't use the ignore button because it doesn't last very long!!!) and I tried reporting it to VMK but the "error" window comes up every time I send a report (and I can't use the main page b/c of the birthday problem to report that report doesn't work for me). VMK_Annie said she reported it (what does that mean?)...and I appreciate it but here's my big problem:

I'm afraid she's going to go around impersonating me and being terrible to people. Now, that's not bad for my personal player but it means that people on the Dis boards and other sites who might know me by title only might think that's me, being that the only difference between G and C is a little hangy ball thingie.

I just wanted to warn you all that someone's out there trying to "be" me... arg.

And for the record, after I reported it, she showed up in a room I was in tonight as cbshorts-VMK_Annie's, in fact!
 
Wow Shorts, that's awful. I've seen you around to know that you're the one and only Goofy Blue Shorts, but others...

"Identity theft" on VMK.

cbshorts -- we'll have to think of what it stands for ;) Chartreuse balloon shorts?

Actually, being that I'm Goofy Blue Shorts, I'm pretty sure she intended on being "Crazy Blue Shorts"...

arg. I feel stolen.
 

Wow, that's kind of scarey. I'm sorry that happened to you, but I have no clue what you can do to stop her from impersonating you.
That is just so wrong, and the frightening thing is thinking what she's going to do to the first boy that dumps her in real life...

Uh...I think she may be the same person who is dressing like me also. She finds me, sees what I am wearing and changes. She has even changed her hair and face!!

She stands in front of me and asks me why I am not talking to her(after I have said "hi")

Then she starts with the crying and the whining. Must be the same person!!
 
Wow! I saw her yesterday in the fireworks game lobby. She was involved in a very odd discussion with someone (sorry I don't remember who). Lot's of crying and whining.

Sorry this happened to you. Hopefully, she will get tired of this and move on.
 
You know, the only advice I have to give is this:

Keep on being the great person you are. You are well known at these boards and the other board. I am sure people will stick up for you if the situation arises. Keep ignoring this crazy person and hopefully they will get over it. As far as reporting it goes, if VMK_Annie has reported it then I am sure that is all that can be done.
 
Update time...

I just got a message from this insane-o saying "So and so says you said I'm copying you with my user name, i only have one account, how am I copying you?"

*facepalm* She admitted to this so and so yesterday it was her...

I'm just going to ignore it all. Insanity I tell you.

People should have to have their heads checked before being allowed to play VMK.

I have something else in mind, but it is not fit to print. Ahem.
Anyway, this girl is BONKERS. I feel bad for her...but worse for Shorts.
 
Wow. If you took her off your friends list, how does she keep finding you?

I spend most of my time in my rooms or rooms that belong to friends of mine.

She actually takes the time to SEARCH the popular list...or type in our room names to find us.

Also, there was a guy who was on our friends list (that we have since removed) who was on her friends list-so she knew where he was, we would be.
 
Oh No!!

Thanks for the heads up!

So sorry to hear of this happening--what will they think of next?
 
Can you change the name of your rooms so that when she searches she can't find them? Won't stop her trying to impersonate you, but will give you a little space.

The only problem with that is that you can still see who owns the room... :(
