I thought the system didn’t allow duplicate names? I think most people want a unique name, not sure why someone would copy someone else’s name.
I wish we could see a current list of Guild & settlement names.
What if I tell you this is an alt of a person who was a former guild member of Nova Golda, has been rather spewing negative stuff on forums and in game, done some serious grieving and is now running around with a fake GOLDA guild tag?
Coincidence? Or just done to annoy or have nefarious plans for it?

See the OP, explains it all! 
To annoy and/or grief…
That’s kind of weird lol. But can they really accomplish anything like that? I can’t imagine their objective lol
No idea, am not a mind reader
Could be just to scare/annoy me or they want to do things in the name of my guild that aren’t exactly nice…
I remember an incident a while back of some known guild where some newer members did negative stuff but the guild was negatively talked about. They didn’t know they did that stuff and kicked them. I can imagine someone wanting to do such things and get others into trouble or something…

I see what you are saying now. You said you PM James. I think that is for the best.
(A side note, in general…not @ Aenea)
When there are people that do things in game - with no other purpose but to be malicious towards other players - they should be BANNED. There is no reason to allow people to continue to harass others. I’m all for 2nd chances, but there are a few people that have shown that they do not respect others nor the CoC. Some have been given warnings. If there are no consequences, these people will continue to harass the people that are just here to enjoy the game. They will continue to run off the people that you want to keep here.
The other day, I went through the ToS of 7 or 8 large MMOs. Some give 3 warnings then a ban. Depending on the offense, some did insta-bans. It’s not good to allow toxicity to fester & spread. No one wants to be around that.

So if you look at Boundless as being Game of Thrones they can screw your guild’s reputation…use your imagination.

If that was the case, then I’d absolutely make devs aware of the situation, but also document as much evidence first hand as possible to reinforce your case.

The leading/trailing space issue is a bug and shouldn’t be allowed, we’ll fix it and probably force some renames to resolve invalid clashes.

Thanks blake!
Hopefully it’s done quickly because in the instance that was witnessed it is not a coincidence and very much so done on purpose…
Maybe its a compliment @AeneaGames XD they’re so desperate to be a part of your guild they had to go to the trouble of making a fake. Crikey, don’t they have better things to do in game?? lol!

Still, I don’t like the idea that people can do this at the moment. I know it’s going to be looked at, but apparently nothing will be done to the person impersonating my guild. I don’t want them to get a ban or anything serious but at least a message from the devs that this is just not ok to do would have been nice.
It gives me the feeling that we can basically do all kinds of nasty stuff in-game without any repercussions which I do find odd.
I’m wondering if a warning system should be added to the CoC. And I mean by that, that people who do something that’s not ok but does not warrant too much of a punishment that they get a warning. And perhaps a 3 strikes thing should be added?
What should happen then, beats me, perhaps a time out of sorts, on a forum that kinda works, but in game that does seem a little harsh
Anyone with bright ideas on such matters?
