No one is impersonating you. (The only account that came close; 00RA001, is not active.)
Your complaint is outdated and reeks of more attention seeking.

Only if your intent is to convince people you are someone else. Simply having an account called '00RA001' (or 'Cersei Lanister', for that matter) without saying you are either '00RA00' or 'Cersei Lannister', is not something that is not allowed.fem fatale wrote:And it is still a rule violation is it not to pretend to be someone else on here?

You could argue that the only reason someone would call themselves by a name almost shared by another is to pretend to be that other, but the only way that works is if the pretender alludes to his/her being the one their name is similar to.
For instance, when EMP and Turkeyman went at it together, there was complete matching of both profiles, and posts were made clearly intended to -at least- confuse people. Convincing them that a long-time forum user is actually another long-time forum user is not really going to happen, but people who do not read properly might be confused by it.
Now compare to the case of 00RA00 and 00RA001. 00RA001 started posting after 00RA00 was banned, so there was no conflict (people know 00RA00 is banned, so 00RA001 is obviously someone else; as a ban evading multi would have been banned on sight). Since there was no attempt at convincing users of 00RA001 being 00RA00, there was no impersonation.
Since there was no impersonation, no rule was broken (note the text of specifically rule 3.B). Ergo, complaint invalid.
tl;dr: The requirements for 'impersonation' set out in Rule 3.B were not met => no impersonation.
