Impersonators are everywhere and many people clutter forums by making posts showing their impersonators. I think it would save everybody time, include scam resolver's time, if you could have a profile section to list your impersonators. Tell me your thoughts below.

High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.

This is a good idea but I do see something that may happen. What happens if someone mistakes the impersonator list for his actual contact information..

There could be a description when you click on the section.

I like the idea, but it's ineffective. Most people who get scammed by impersonators never actually talk to them on MCM. The user is usually approached on Skype by the impersonator and the user assumes it's them, and then they get scammed. While the idea is good, it wouldn't ever actually be looked at.

True. But it may end up stopping some scams at the very least.

It possibly could. From my experience, someone either approaches me saying that they found someone impersonating me or they say I scammed them and I have to explain that they never tried to confirm it was me. Again, it isn't at all a BAD idea, it just wouldn't be very effective and very very few people would actually think to check that. People here usually know to either look at their profile to check if their information is listed correctly or they'll directly message them.
