No I mean what if they intentionally got a key similar to an admin but after entering a game made no claim of being an admin, would that be considered impersonation?

I WaS SO STUPID TO BELIEVE IT! GRRR he named his key Lummox JX in stead of JR. Isn't that a bannable (or at least warnable) offense, attempting to pose as someone like that? | |

I think it is it has been discussed a little while back [link]. but the key is forged at the same date he appeared so it's pretty obvious that he did it on purpose. however it was pretty stupid of him to name the key lummox JX, the original has JR so he could do YR , heh.

It would be a matter of clear intention, though. If it was something like Hedgemistres or Lumox JR, there could be no way that this just happened to be their favorite screen name and no amount of "Gee I didn't realize there was a Lummox JR on BYOND. Is he somebody important?" would change that. :P If both similar names are something extremely generic, it would be harder to say.
