I think when you report someone, there should be a separate option for impersonation. Thank you!

There would also be a blank for the username of the person who they're impersonating, and if that user doesn't exist, they won't take the report.

If someone clicked on the link, it would open a text box that says “Please enter the username of who this user is impersonating.” It then would check that that user exists. If that user doesn't exist, it would say “Hm. That user doesn't exist. Make sure your spelling is correct.” Or something along those lines.

Please don't post “Just use the username” as Za-Chary said something about that on the second page. I am going to quote it here to avoid that.

Use “Username”.

The problem with this is that it's not immediately evident to us that you are reporting the username for impersonation.

Suppose I create an account called @mybearw0rld and use it to start claiming it was you. Naturally, you know it's not your account, so you report the username for impersonation. Then we'll see the report and think, “Okay, mybearw0rld was reported for their username. But the username ‘mybearw0rld’ doesn't look inappropriate at all. It must have been an accidental report, so I'll just ignore it.” (This thought process would be similar for those who try to report a username for writing disrespectful comments.)

An option to report for impersonation would fix this, as it would give us an indication that someone is being impersonated.

Impersonation is against the community guidelines too:

Don’t try to impersonate other Scratchers, spread rumors, or otherwise try to trick the community.

Semi-support. I feel like you can report the username as impersonation, but yes, there should be a feature where you can report impersonating Scratchers to be more specific.

Ok, to continue this, I sixth this.

But yeah, back when “grifpfatch” was still on the website, he followed everybody and tricked them into thinking that the REAL griffpatch was following them. So, yeah, support!

Also, what harm could be done?

I seventh this, the only solution right now is using contact us, but it takes really long for them to respond, and they have so many emails already
Well you could also, scream at the impersonator on their profile comments if they're open, name and shame them, therefore breaking the CGs and not helping the situation

I eighth this,if you just report for username they won't really know its impersonating someone since they don't know WHO the person is impersonating.

Contact us takes a long time to be answered.

i ninth this, contact us is a big hassle and often simply doesn't seem to work, having a little input for who they are impersonating would be nice too

Yep, this would be helpful. Especially for the times in the past when I thought fictional character role play accounts were considered impersonation. Then the ST could have explained that to me and I wouldn’t keep reporting every MLP Role-playing account.

Thanks for the link! Please use the existing thread.

Reopened since the duplicate topic was closed by the topic owner.

However, let's lighten up on the spammy “first, second, third….” stuff and the quote trains, please.
