admin abuse by gunther? ... strict admin sometimes maybe, but not abuser
epical- direct quote from server rules (http://www.onlineforum.cz/rcz/rules) :
"The fact you are an admin doesn't mean that you're more important than regular players: you only have a broom with which to sweep up any mess. If you leave the mess, it's your problem; consider that if you want to become admin. "
If a normal player was having this problem, as an admin, we should feel an obligation to help fix it and if necessary use admin powers to help the situation. In this case, an admin can be considered to be equal to a normal player (hence the quote from the rules), therefore admins should still help fix this problem and if necessary use admin powers.
I will say again, i do not think that the approach suggested by gunther is necessarily the best approach, however i do agree that something should be done.
Anyhoo. I think gunthers approach would be acceptable if the *copycat usernames* purpose was to insult/attack someone.
Let's face it: Is someone calling themselves LizardWithPat really a problem...
