How to find clan impersonators quickly?
#1
One time I was walking and all of a sudden this vote came up to ban this guy. The reason was because he was pretending to be in [BOPE] (the name doesn't matter). How do people find out so quickly that they're not in that clan?

The clan rosters of big clans are public and common knowledge, and people in clans will usually know everyone in it.

Yes, but not usually in n00b clans, such as [BOPE], Ku$h|, and other crappy clans. I really don't pay attention, and let the dude pretend.

serverblacklist.cfg:
xx.xxx.xx.xx // 23.03.2011 KU$H|KluTcHSt4r - Insults

KU$H|KluTcHSt4r says: 'wtf ryb lager fag'
KU$H|KluTcHSt4r says: 'pssy faget'
KU$H|KluTcHSt4r says: 'blue retard'
KU$H|KluTcHSt4r says: 'kill you stfu fag'

client DES|OpenSource called a vote: ban player KU$H|KluTcHSt4r, reason: insults
disconnecting client KU$H|KluTcHSt4r (vote-banned from the server) cn 5, 570 seconds played, score saved
disconnecting client KU$H|KluTcHSt4r (connection refused - you have been banned from this server) cn 5, 0 seconds played

This is from my server.
I have not added this as a blacklist report, but the way he behaved i do not want and he will stay banned.

Sorry for the off topic, but i had to reply.

Sounds like someone was right (me), and someone was naughty (you).

BOPE isn't a new clan.

As opposed to noob clan

Elven, it you shouldn't call other clans "Crappy" on a public forum...

Unless it's a Brazilian clan... jk...maybe.

There's generally a list of members on the clan website

BOPE may be a well known clan, that doesn't mean I'm going to go check their website/forum everyday to look for imposters and crap.

The point of my thread was, if the clan is enough of a well-known clan, then it should be obvious whether or not someone with the tag is a part of the clan.

There are also some helpful questions, such as:

Who tested you?

Who voted you in?

What is the website?

Any member should know at least TWO of these questions, as I'm sure there are more questions that could be used as proof

Any member should know Q#3, if they don't then you know they're an imposter.

Some people use those crappy long named websites. *Cough*Weebly*Cough* ;) I was never able to memorize iC's website.

In general, it's fairly easy to detect an imposter or impersonator

Yes. Besides, VenteX made ic-clan.weebly.com, not I.
