Bone issued a moderation note to puzzlegal for her response to ftg’s response to my post regarding how to avoid getting bumped by the airlines.

I’m still trying to determine puzzlegal’s infraction or even marginal infraction.

Bone just posted a rather non-credible “official warning” on me - and no warning has shown up on my profile. And “Bone” joined today and has only three posts.

I suspect shenanigans.

And doesn’t have the Moderator tag legit under the user name.

Ah yes, we have either a hacker, or a moderator-impersonator on our hands.

The comment about someone getting “their ass punted back to Sweden” didn’t sound in the least like Bone’s real vernacular, either.

Yep, that ain’t Bone. Looks like the “o” is special character.

Well it looks like Bone’s account had been duped and someone is having a bit of fun!

Oops. They fooled me momentarily as well.

Yep, he certainly gave me pause. And has now been reported.

Fake moderation

Color me (albeit not in moderator red) impressed with how well the hacker faked it. And for the fact that the “moderation” was, in retrospect, quite funny - especially the Sweden one - rather than offensive.

It’s skullduggery.

No it isn’t!
It’s skulduggery.

Seems to be a trouble maker. I’ll take care of it.

Apparently it’s Unicode Character “ο” (U+03BF) - Greek Small Letter Omicron

But which one is the real one? Quick, someone ask a question that only Bone would know!

How do we know it’s you?

I say if the impostor manages to ban the original, he’s earned the right to take his place.

For some reason, I was reminded of one of our former moderators, manhattan. He left a long time ago, though.

Gee, I wonder which poster banned by Bone today that might have been?..

But who is this? The hacker seems smart enough that he might now have deleted his original posts, substituted a real “o” for the fake one, added the “Moderator” tag to his fake identity, and deleted all genuine moderator accounts.
