    This was said earlier in the thread:

    Now, let me define the underlined words according to the dictionary:

    Impersonate: To assume the person or character of; to play the part of; to act (a character); to personate. -Oxford English Dictionary

    False: ...Of opinions, propositions, doctrines, representations: Contrary to what is true, erroneous -Oxford English Dictionary

    Player: A person who plays a game -Merriam-Webster Dictionary

    Harm: ...To do harm (to); to injure (physically or otherwise); to hurt, damage. Orig. intr. To be hurtful, with dative (like Latin nocēre), which was sometimes in Middle English... -Oxford English Dictionary

    Link: an identifier attached to an element (as an index term) in a system in order to indicate or permit connection with other similarly identified elements ; especially : one (as a hyperlink) in a computer file -Merriam-Webster Dictionary


    Now that the definitions are clear, I would like to address them. To impersonate a player or pimd_admin using Bb codes, a few things would be necessary.

    1. The person would have to use a current username in the Bb Code

    And/or

    2. The person would have to make a link to a current players profile.


    Now, lets look at some screenshots with explanations.

    The name I used on my main when performing the bb codes was --_-LoudNDeadly-_--

    [​IMG]

    When you go to the people bar and search for that name it comes off as invalid. Therefore, that username is not taken and does not belong to any player.


    [​IMG]

    If you click this Bb code (it is not a player so I will not refer to it as a fake player), there is a link to go to someone's profile. This is impersonating because it leads to a player's profile.

    [​IMG]

    This is what I posted, when you click, or click and hold your finger on the Bb code nothing happens. This is because there is no link to another player.

    Since when I posted the username was not taken and not linked, I did not impersonate any player or make it seem like a player said something which they haven't said.


    ....So, Did I say something harmful? Well, lets look at all the posts I made using this Bb code:

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Not only were the last 2 in color, but they are also invalid usernames and have no link to a players profile.

    As well, non of the above screenshots show any harmful content or can be deemed confusing.

    And as a side note, I'm pretty sure the Rules of Conduct do not mention that being confusing is not allowed.
