I just noticed the word "other" in the title Cheesy

I'd say Satoshi Nakamoto is the opposite of a public figure Wink

Legit question; did anyone really think DonaldTrumpJR was the son of the former president of the United States? Did anyone think that he owner of that account was actually trying to pass himself off as the son of the former president of the United States?

Don't get me wrong, I understand why ABCbits started this thread, but I don't think "impersonating public figures" is really a problem on this forum. Claiming to be Satoshi is one thing and the example given isn't the first time, nor will it be the last. But, if someone comes along with the username "Leonardo DiCaprio" is he going to get red-tagged as an impersonator? Honestly, there are likely users who might do such a thing and use this thread as an excuse.

Both of you bring good points. Should i rename the thread title to something else, such as "Users who impersonate as Satoshi Nakamoto or other cryptocurrency figures" ?

And i think only having username same or similar with public figures isn't enough reason to determine whether they attempt to impersonate someone.
