He clearly did and ignorance of the rules is not an excuse.
I can't believe this is even an issue let alone worthy of this big and immediate of a reaction. How is not naming yourself after a dev, mod, or any official not the most common of sense?
Last time I checked the Dev was still known as CrypticGeko,and not just 'Geko'....and like I said before,in game Devs and GM's are clearly tagged as being Devs or GM's,you can't fake that.
The PWE/Cryptic sweatshop...not where the game is made,but where the game is played!

Fact: You just insulted pretty much everyone for no good reason other than to vent.
how is stating the obvious a insult?
he wants people to be banned for having names like the ones devs have....You know that names are common even in real life....you get more peopel with the same name MR. I want to be unique.

The ToS doesn't say your attempt has to be successful, just that you try.

sure, for experienced players but dont forget there are new or never-in-the-forum players who CAN easily fall in on a name like GekoPWE, GekoDev,..
Okega raged because okeg was squandering the Terran empire's resources on sending ships into a death trap (our universe's old mirror universe event) so okeg was forced to retreat and close the multidimensional portals that allowed them to travel to our realm, at least for the time being.

Ok,now you are just reaching.The ToS in the hands of Cryptic is like the bible in the hands of a preacher...they can bend and twist the meaning of the words in any way it suits them to fit their perspective.

pretty much that.Most people here are already talibans which like i said would not thimk not even for a second.Ofcourse TRIBBLE like this will happend to them sooner or later ...if it happend once it will happen again.

Um, how's about no? Honestly, there's nothing in the ToS that says you must first have successfully dupped a person with your name. Merely taking the name of a PWE official, mod, etc, already constitutes impersonation.
Whether PWE will pursue every case as vigorously as the other, that's a different matter, of course. But they'd be every bit in their right to take action against you for it.
Adding the PWE or Dev to the name is an obvious no no.....but we are talking about the plain 'Geko' here.
ofcourse but even then you still dont have a Dev or Gm tag to "fool" people.
this is like when they banned people for posting the game of that gold seller.People forget they had a system that autobanned people for posting that name.This is not the first and be sure not the last TRIBBLE cryptic does.
Umm...there isn't anything sinister on cryptics part in this. They do not let you take on the names of the devs as to prevent confusions and or scamming on the part of the players. Not everyone knows that devs get special colors on chat and so naming yourself after devs can cause problems. In games where you have unique names (which I am glad this game does not do), even similar names will be banned. This is pretty fraking SOP.
yes they do let you take the names of the devs.There is no censored name when you name your character .They first let you name it that way then they ban you.

i know I know but like I said, new or non forum players CAN be tricked by someone. we also say Taco or Jamz or Borty, and not CrypticTacofangs, CrypticBorticus....
Yes, be a bunch of dumbasses and rename all your characters. Please do. I could use a whole day without moronic players getting in the way. Seriously, you ****tards are killing the game just as bad as cryptic is.

It usually works the other way around, silly.
