Huh. It genuinely surprises me that it is possible. The lack of any such impersonation had led me to be believe that there was some sort of filter on names that would filter out names that look the same. Such would not be too difficult to code–remove all non-printing characters, and have a list of characters that look the same. Or maybe just have any that contain enough similarities have to be verified by the mods before being able to post. Glad it was just a bit of fun. I even caught myself wondering if the mods were doing an early Halloween thing. ---
