Imposters

**aknisely** · Sep 8th, 2001, 01:51 PM

Imposters are fun, sort of, but just as a suggestion, if you could let the real account holders know who his imposters are...

**parks¡e** · Sep 8th, 2001, 02:19 PM

who says they know?

**aknisely** · Sep 8th, 2001, 02:26 PM

They could find out using IP addresses

**parks¡e** · Sep 8th, 2001, 02:28 PM

They could, if the imposter was stupid enough to stay connected using the same IP as when they were using their actual username.

**aknisely** · Sep 8th, 2001, 02:29 PM

Many of us have broadband, and it'd be pretty easy to tell since your hostmask gives narrows it down to only a handful of people who use ISP X in Location Y.

**parks¡e** · Sep 8th, 2001, 02:31 PM

An argument against static IPs then

**thinktank** · Sep 8th, 2001, 02:51 PM

Imposters are real pain. These people spoof by using chr(161) for character i.

You should do something about this. Filburt1 already has many clones...add this trick and you get another one to his zillion clones.

All members with 'i' in their name... be warned !

**parksie** · Sep 8th, 2001, 02:58 PM

I'm not bothered about people spoofing me

**thinktank** · Sep 8th, 2001, 03:03 PM

Parksie, in your case.. you did it to yourself

( I know - you cloned yourself...you naughty fella..) but it may not be the case with others.

**parksie** · Sep 8th, 2001, 03:05 PM

Nope, none of the imposters are me, actually. Well, apart from John Percival

**sail3005** · Sep 8th, 2001, 07:15 PM

Way ahead of you...

**thinktank** · Sep 9th, 2001, 09:47 PM

"The earl of gond" uses the same technique but in a much effective way !

To put it in a line...

Earl of Gonds <> Earl of Gonds

Before you call me mad or something..

They are not the same because..
The space between the words earl, of and Gonds

is Ascii character 32 while in the second case it is Ascii character 160.

So a little warning to people using Multi part Names separated by space.

**parksie** · Sep 10th, 2001, 05:28 AM

I'm proud to say it was a technique pioneered by myself

**thinktank** · Sep 10th, 2001, 11:51 AM

So..are you the earl of GONADS !!!!

**parksie** · Sep 10th, 2001, 12:14 PM

Nope, I'm the king of (large) gonads

**markman** · Sep 10th, 2001, 04:24 PM

so you are saying that filburt was impostered? I saw that and that he was his other name.

I don't mind them. But when they start flaming other users are insulting "themselves", then I report posts. One of the mods started even recording IPs it was getting so bad.
