Well, in spite of our asking Ben to block the imposter Andrew Khoo, the jerk has won. The real Andrew Khoo resinged today leaving a major hole in our agency. We have also lost one of the nicest and one of the best dectives in Sleuthville. I for one am very angry about this. I think Sleuth Admin. dropped the ball on this one. Goodbye Andrew you shall be sorely missed!!

Andrew Khoo--I'm sure that it would be possible for Ben to change your character's name if not delete the imposters. Please reconsider leaving sleuth, you're obviously missed!

Andrew - don't let the jerks win. Sets a bad precedent. Sleuthville needs you.

Andrew, you gave Ben Rowe exactly what he wanted!!! Don't let him get to you, ignore him, we will too.

Yes, sorry about the delay on this issue. I was out of town for Thanksgiving.

I've banned the IP address of the person who was impersonating Andrew and will look into adding some controls to prevent people from using names that are too similar to existing detectives.

I'm glad to hear you won't be allowing a person to use a similar name. One of my agent's name is "Agent_007", and I've noticed there's another agent in here whose name is Agent007, which can be confusing to some. I know there's an underscore between Agent and 007, but people could think this agent is me. Ben, you've always been very prompt in fixing mistakes or taking care of any situations that arise, unless you're out of pocket. We appreciate all you do to make this game enjoyable.

Ben, I only mentioned Agent_007 just for reference, & nothing more.

Andrew, I hope you return & rejoin "Starsky & Hutch" soon. I know they miss & need you very much.

BTW, if this thing (Andrew Khoo/Andrew_Khoo) happens again, U only have to put the mouse on the link. At the bottom of the sreen the URL ends with id=(whatever). You can tell which it is. (This is not that hard. Just remember "Last number was 4" or "First number was 2")

I've added a few rules when naming new detectives that should eliminate situations where it is impossible to tell two names apart (names starting and ending with spaces, or having multiple spaces in a row).

People will still need to pay attention to underscores and alternate spellings when determining whether they're dealing with an imposter.
