Use the #Flood tag right now. You will see two threads by A 3 Legged Goat, begging for followers.
When I saw these parody threads, I assumed they were by the same horned crippled beast that we all know and love. They probably are. However, after a few seconds of thought, I wondered if they WERENT by Goat at all. I realized that with the new name change, anyone can impersonate another user! I checked to see if I could pretend to be famous users by changing my name, and sure enough, it only took a few presses of the keys before I became Duardo. As you can see, my name is Shoop again, like before.
Still, this problem needs to be fixed. I recommend that each member's display name MUST be unique as well, or even better; their unique ID is their display name.

Yep. I made a thread earlier about it today. Up to this morning I've had three people do it. The number has gone up to five people now. People just change their name and avatar with the intent of making you look bad. MY Unique User ID is burritosenior which can't be copied, only usernames can be, but 95% of people won't think to check that so... yeah. It's a problem.
