I've seen WAY to many people making an account with another scratchers name. Is that reportable? It's REALLY disturbing me, I'm worried that somebody will do it to me!! They change just a little thing, like a capital into lowercase stuff. I literally just stumbled onto a page, an ‘impersonation’ of my BFFs account, and this person had just started. I was confused, as they had no project, faves, etc. I was going to comment things like, “I think you've been hacked, I'm going to tell Scratch Team, you should too!” when in the comments someone had told them not to impersonate. This is getting out of hand. SO MANY people have this done to them! Is this reportable? And would the account be deleted, to stop future confusion? This is REALLY bothering me. I know, if they aren't SAYING they are someone else, it's not technically impersonation. But I feel like taking someones username and profile picture is rude.

It's reportable. Just use the “Contact Us” link and remember to include a link to the original and impersonator accounts in the report so the ST will know what you are referring to.

Thank you for the quick response! (Seriously, that was FAST!)

Yeah, someone made an account called [removed] and is using my profile picture. They once tried to “give away” Ice, the cat I won on Billy's adoption center. The people involved actually believed him/her until I set the record straight. After that, I thought they'd gone, but about three days ago they commented on my profile “I'm back!” And now I'm kinda worried. What should I do?

Report the user.
Edit: Wait, they're banned, and their account's been deleted. It looks like it's been taken care of.
