MRB members being impersonated on the pub

[Brault 1st MRB]

While researching for the Adjutant office, I discovered that it looks like someone was impersonating:

- TSgt. Bryant:

(STEAM_0:1:105277070 culprit) last login 24APR2015

** This person also impersonated 2 other MRB members (E. Small & P. O'Hare)

- Sgt. V. Moura:

(STEAM_0:0:89704438 culprit which shows Sgt. H. Beglar [1st MRB] as the name logged in 14SEP2014 - not Beglar's real STEAMID)

** This person also impersonated 2 other MRB members (Beglar & G. Visca) as well as a BAR member (deadchick)

(STEAM_0:0:97331599 culprit which shows Sgt. V. Moura [1st MRB] as the name logged in 17SEP2014 - not Moura's real STEAMID)

(STEAM_0:0:97356922 culprit which shows p1g bl00d as the name logged in 22SEP2014 - no bans found)

** This person also impersonated 2 other MRB members (Konig and T. Blackwood) as well as a BAR member (deadchick)

- Sgt. H. Beglar:

(STEAM_0:0:89704438 already mentioned above)

(STEAM_0:0:82791765 culprit) last login 17SEP2014

** This person also impersonated 3 other MRB members (Visca, Martinez and 1stLt. Holland) as well as 2 BAR members (deadchick and taze)

I know the 2014 instances are pretty old. I thought I would just mention them just in case.

Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help the unit in this matter and if there's a post somewhere that shows us how to better protect ourselves from these impersonators.

Thank you.

Good work Brault, but it gives one a sense that no one is safe...

[Wirths]

isnt there maybe a plugin or something to have a white list? like have registered names to the steamid so they cant be impersonated?

[T. Brown 1st MRB]

The GOOD news is that no matter who they impersonate, they cannot have administrator access. That is assigned to specific steam ID's, so they can change their name to whatever they want, they'll have no technical power.

Bad news is that yea, they can change their names to whatever they want. Good catch! Impersonating MRB = perm ban.

[Arsenault 1st MRB]

Although most of these were already perma-banned, I added the 2 who weren't banned yet (but who had never showed up again anyways).

Merci, Arsenault! I am now checking people randomly when I'm on the server to make sure especially when they don't speak on the mic. If I can do more, please let me know.
