AntBlanc Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hi, So on some occasions, I come across fake hg - HG | members and wonder about how to deal with them. ex. Real HG: -hg- AntBlanc Fake HG: -hg-AntBlanc Do I warn them to remove the tag, and if they don't, do the kick, then ban? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sirius Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 As part of asking them to remove the tags, point them to the website and ask them to apply for recruit. I've gone as far as adding them on Steam to talk to them and showing them how to apply. I find that the folks who do this just want to belong to the community and may not understand the process or that they're doing anything wrong. If they ignore you and continue then follow the warn/kick/ban procedures. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought about doing all that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntBlanc Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah forgot to mention that in the first post, but I would try to lead them to the application page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had to kick people several times for impersonation and fake member tags like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had to kick people several times for impersonation and fake member tags like that. Really? I've played here for a few years and I don't think I've ever run in to a single instance where that was the case. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, just saying that each time I've reached out to someone they've always said, "Oh, I thought I could wear the tags and be a part of the clan" and then they've gone and registered.

AntBlanc Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 So, about a week or 2 ago, I ran into someone with the fake [HG] tag and told him to remove it cause he thought he could wear it since he paid for admin. He did remove the tag after I told him and showed him to the website to apply, but I haven't seen that application yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathShot Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Warn > kick > Ban Be sure to let them know to apply to HG to be able to wear the tags. If you want to take the incentive to add them or speak to them further it would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
