That IS against the TOS.

That's why the fake Leon was banned.

I know the fake Leon was banned, I was in a thread about that. I read the TOS and nothing directly send the message that accounts with names that look identical can be punished.

But thinking about it, impersonation is technically identity fraud, making it potentially illegal.

Purposeful disregard to these rules will result in strong punishment against the offender.
1. Do not post explicit links or images
If it's not something you would show your mom, it's not something you should be showing kids.
2. Do not spam
This includes threads with seemingly no meaning, repetitive threads, and re-posting existing threads or ones that have been deleted already.
3. Be kind to other users
You will be banned if you post hatred, racist, sexist or any prejudice remarks.
4. Do not use excessive profanity
Swearing is a privilege, not a right. You will be banned if you exercise this right.
5. Use the report button!
It's there for a reason - if you see anyone breaking these rules, report it.

Alfons, I know it isn't directly stated in either the rules or TOS, but impersonation on a level where it looks next to identical could technically be considered identity fraud and is illegal

Your still stealing an identity on purpose with the intent of using in in a way that seems like you are it, even if you are "trolling".
