Please do not impersonate staff.

[Dude]

Don't bother trying to reason with him Alti, he just has that stick so far in his ass nothing can get it out.

I mean, yeah, if somebody's new here, it would probably confuse them.

[Dude]

But if they're new how would they have known if that was a moderator's avatar or not if they've never seen it before?

[WaluigiTime64]

Probably "new" as in "somewhat new" not "first time new".

[Dude]

Also wouldn't the global mod image be an indicator anyway?

[WaluigiTime64]

Yeah probably. I'm not on either side to be honest.

I'm not really on either side of this issue but I do find it really annoying when people change their avatars to match someone else's (and no it's not exactly "impersonation" but it's obviously intentional and done with the purpose of looking like the other person)

I didn't change my avatar to match someone else's. I made my avatar the updater banner. For an hour or so.

He wasn't attacking you? It was just a general statement.

What if both people are in on the joke?

I was just thinking about this. Wasn't it last April Fools Day where a ton of people swapped avatars and sigs for a day?

No, that was just some random occurrence.
