Does it really matter? It's just a gimmick account, nothing to get rustled jimmies over.

It's the online persona being impersonated

Well, if someone made an account here under the name A Wild Sceptile and posted in the same way that I do then I'd think of it as such.

This. "Silent Bob" may be a character, but he's also a well-known user, and faces the same damage of being impersonated that any other user does.

It is an alt, using a character name, something you cannot claim ownership to.

I can't claim ownership over the name "SecondClass", either. That's not the point. No matter where you get it from, your forum name is your online identity. If you're well-known to be posting under the name of a certain character, then someone intentionally uses that character name to impersonate you, that should be banworthy.

You got it

It's the same if somebody basically stole your identity and pretends to be you. It's not claiming ownership of a name in the sense of it being copyrighted, but claiming ownership that it's who you are on the internet; it's different. And to put it out there, Silent Bob account is a parody and falls under Fair Use laws

Nope, Silent Bob is an alt of the user Blonic, somebody who does not even post here and only gives a shit about this place when somebody is supposedly "impersonating" an alt that cannot even be impersonated in the first place because it is a character from a form of media. Blonic is the user, he is not known as Silent Bob.

You know that Blonic is a character too, right? And because he posts on his SB account way more than Blonic, you could argue that Blonic has effectively become his alt.

Lol, was just about to post that basically. Blonic also posted in Vien's thread so he's here on the site and that S.B account can get banned now

I am wrong all the time.
Why do you like to show off your ignorance and try to argue with me any time we are in the same thread? Your hate boner for me is not flattering at all, you need to get over yourself.

I argue with anyone who makes a thread that I disagree with. And you really need to get over your misguided notion that I hate you. I don't. It seems like you take our scuffles on here way too personally.

Wait, so is the Silent Bob that's here not Blonic?

ITT: Kinder and Class being factually wrong together and trying too hard to get their non-argument across.

Not being wrong. If somebody is going to use the persona of a well-known forum user then that's impersonation. It's not about the name being owned, it's about the persona and reputation associated with that name being stolen from the person who established it

If somebody were to go back on b.net and make a Noel Kannagi account with the avatar you use then they will be impersonating you because you established a reputation and persona with that name. People will then just assume it is you and whatever they post, they will think you posted it
