It has come to my attention that there is another Lynx on ESF, which i dont mind, but i DO mind it when people start calling me names and an "imposter" because i use the same name..... I don't see anyone calling other people "imposters" because they have the same name, and besides, he is "-Lite- Lynx" in game, and i am "LyNx" in game, and im sick of people threatening to BAN me because my name is similar to that of someone elses... GROW UP PLEASE.. i just downloaded the game about 3 or 4 days ago, but ive had the name since i started gaming, which was over 4-6 years ago when i first got mw2, mw3, then extended the name to CS and etc etc... and i have not called anyone who has used the same name an "Imposter" because that is more then foolish, considering its a GAME, and our names are completely different in game considering, so everyone please stop bothering me about the name..and stop threatening to ban me from servers and telling me to change my name in game..

Well what can I say... believe it or not the other Lynx was here first, and if you're going to use a name that's nearly identical you're going to have to deal with crap that he deserves. There isn't much you can do short of explaining to everybody you run into that you aren't him or just changing your name.

That was the entire point of my post, to let people know that im NOT him and im NOT an imposter, names belong to NO ONE unless they are trademarked,.......... and having similar names is a sin?

Ah but you see.... it works like this *puts on his glasses and pulls out his calculator*

ok so a registered user = "X"
bad behavior = "Y"

X + Y = Ban

then upon ban

X changes his/her name to Neon_X (or something similar)

*concludes lesson and expects apple from all who post in this thread!*

basically people get banned and resign up with similar names, hence if u have a similar name to a banned or warned person your gonna get it in th neck. Not your fault but it cant be helped.

If you ask careem abdul javar (spell that correctly for a cookie) it is. But to use lynx as a name then no. If your not an ass then use it as much as you want. All the more=all the better.

Sonic has probably outlined your situation the best. If you want that name, then you will have to "bear the cross", so-to-speak. The most you can do is just ignore the people who bother you about it, or change your name. Other than that, there isn't much else that can be done...

At any rate, there isn't much point to debating this further...

In any case, I understand where this guy is coming from. There's another guy named "Saiyan Pride" on the forums and ingame. Only once have we ever run into each other. He killed me, then jokingly said, "hah! no one steals my name!!"

We then had a lot of fun hitting each other and competing, if I recall correctly. So for what it's worth, having a similar name to someone isn't always a problem.

Meh, I dont like having the same name as people...so I usually change it, but I can understand that your nickname you use has special meaning to you, and that you dont want to change it everytime someone else has it.
