    Nice one Gina!

    Many moons ago I was a player moderator for another game - both in game and in forums. I thought I had a ban hammer but compared to the one shown here it was more like a ban stick and my mute stick back then seems more like a mute twig now!

    Read your ToS kids, if there is one thing a company will enforce more than anything it's impersonating their name.

    I've played a number of games where doing this is a perma-ban with no appeal.

    its not like i wouldnt agree on that, its against the tos. but also its some kind of a stupid kiddyo joke. no problems with a punishment, but it would really make me leave wondering, when its a perma ban then, while we deal each day with worse problems in game :)

    Surprised though that "Zenimax" or any combination of it is actually available as a name.

    I'm not, wouldn't believe how long it took ZO$ to add the Z logo to their GMs so they didn't just look like other players, well when they had GMs that is lol

    Jesus, at least make sure to check your spelling before sending it.

    I mean, monitered? Are you serious?

    Also i don't understand why someone would make such a stupid accusation, it's only gonna backfire.

    But how did they get to use "Zenimax_Online" in their account name in the first place? Shouldn't this be blocked from being used in case of frauds like this?

    Thor's a Dragon Knight? He totally just used "Take Flight". I would've swore he was a Sorc with that lightning skill...

    I would say that a perma ban is way too severe for this. If the letter had directed the receiver to a fake Zenimax website to get hacked or something like that then I would say a permanent ban was in order. But this doesn't seem to be anything malicious. Just someone having a bit of fun.

    This scene along with the scene where Scorpion first reveals the creature-like spear in his hand are amongst my Top 5 all-time favorite scenes in action films. Sooooo bad-ass.

    It's appropriate... for all you know, the next message from the guy would be trying to con people into giving stuff or going to a website to enter credentials, or to pay for a 1 off fee to "clear" their account.

    Don't do the crime if you can't do the time!

    usually u ban on a crime, and not on what might be future crime. or do i tell the people, that you should be hanged, because you could kill someone?

    Impersonating one of the gods is very dangerous indeed. A slight not to be dismissed no.

    Why in fact there is no reason at all why Khajiit might be sat here wearing shorts and a fez and writing up natch potes.

    None of the reasons at all ...

    Had to ask him what kind of *** he was looking for that made him think it was real...
