The CB used

Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

The CB used

The CB used to be a safe, welcoming place for everyone. It used to allow youth to share stories and art no one else would see. It used to be a haven for those who stood out. Those who didn't fit in. The admins where our friends, protecting us from hurtful comments. It was perfect.

Now the Impersonater is stealing our identities and twisting them around, pulling the creative soul out of them. It is hurting people. Badly. The CB was a beautiful place before you arrived, Impersonater. It was. Impersonater, it was. 

It can be again, Surroundedbybooks. I suggest we just ignore any suspected impersonations. Admin will try to delete rather than post them.

Totally agree. 

Admin? Is there anything you can do about it? Could you block the user from chatterbox? 

 

We delete posts that we're sure come from imposters. But we can't block users from the Chatterbox. --admin

If Admins could do that, I probably wouldn't be able to be "aqua" on multiple devices. So its for the better, but maybe also for the worse.

While I agree with the sentiment, I think we're making too big of a deal about this. The impersonator is doing this for attention. If we ignore them and stop making a big deal about it, they might go away. It worked last time we had an impersonator (only a few weeks or months ago, actually), and it might work now too.

Honestly, this impersonator isn't actually causing that much harm. It's pretty easy to tell when they've tried to impersonate someone, and we can just ignore those threads. They don't have to ruin the CB for us, and if we stop paying attention to them, they'll probably go away.
