I don't think law would be particularly helpful in this situation as we've little but anecdotal evidence to go by and, quite frankly, I don't think anecdotal evidence helps much in proving identity theft, if the law even considers something like this identity theft. I could be wrong though.

In a way, it's theft and probably libel, but if you think about it, nobody can truly prove their identity on the Internet. Given the general anonymity of the web and the fact it's something of a sovereign entity, it's really hard to call shots here. Again, I could be wrong

I have a friend who is a lawyer, but the incident needs to involve either fall protection equipment or a small boating accident.

Anyways I feel bad for happybojr. It would be pretty sad for anyone to lose their account and all its histroy.

I would lock the topic eeems.  Just for now at least.

Although this is locked, I feel like I need to add my say there:

Happybobjr account will be re-instated from a backup made recently. His posts will also be re-attributed to his account afterward. However I need to clarify things:

Happybobjr had a past history of being warned on the forums. He received at least three forum warnings for being rude, a bunch for topic advertising, got called out a few times on spammish posts and IRC randomness, in order. Before the spam, he posted about how there was too much swearing and stuff on Omnimaga, but some people disagreed with some points. Not long afterward the spam attack occurs, but here's the thing: The account was viewing the DJ no longer admin thread while doing so. Inevitably it sounded like him, not to mention certain of his spam (not the bad words) were similar to some of his previous shorter spam.

Now I apologise for jumping to the conclusion that it was him too fast, but first of all, many clues made it sound like it was him deciding to go loose now that the most active admin would no longer warn him. I even started to wonder if he wasn't Thegame/I am a troll, since his spelling (no offense) was similar. I also apologise for overeacting to his spam and flooding the channel with all caps afterward as well, and staff/admins are free to assign any punishment to me if they feel necessary.

However, nemo, Check your PM. You need to think about what admins had to deal with (both IRL and online) before badmouthing them for their action.
