    @Toughsox Unfortunately this is all I really have in regards to the impersonator as immediately after they joined the chat I realised what was going on and called the out on it, after which they both left the chat/unfriended me.

    Hello @Greenflare, unfortunately while your proof was not sufficient enough to be acted upon by itself, the other reports against this user were enough for him to be marked. Thank you for this report all the same.
