<p>Also, keep in mind that the discussed case is using username that is rather distinct (there are other &quot;Tim's&quot; on the site and I wouldn't bother if anyone used same username as me, I probably wasn't the first one as well). Moreover, it was about using username of one of the diamond moderators of this site, so this may lead to impersonating the moderator.</p>
