today I went into the game and someone used my name and other peoples names to talk in chat I hope the Dev's can fix it so this will stop, I dont know how they did it but I do not like that someone can use my name to say something. Please fix it so my name can't be thrown under the bus please.

Sorry...

This was me having found an 'exploit' of sorts, and using it in a very immature way for a few giggles (I know, I have a very immature sense of humour :S )...

The chat system allows mimicking of other people by typing a short message yourself, then adding spaces to fill the line, then [Other person's name]:and write as if it looks like it's them saying it.

I wasn't using it for anything that I thought would be offensive, but I realise now that I did offended a few people, mimicking with immature messages like "[Casper]:nightglow is a noob" and "[Fabianna]: Andaho is awesome, I love you long time xoxox, you're the best!"

Rather than what I was saying, I think it was more the fact that people felt like their identity was being stolen that annoyed them... I only had fun with it for about 10 minutes, before admitting it was me, but boy did I receive a lot of hostile messages for my little bit of immature fun :S

I sincerely apologise and didn't mean to cause so much offence.

After seeing such a reaction to it, this 'exploit' is something that needs to be fixed. - e.g. by disallowing typing of [square brackets], or by having people's names in a different colour.
