Someone is impersonating me, Youtube (unsurprisingly) no help.

You need to find the real identity of the thief, that worked for me.
Nothing breaks them like saying "John Deere, please stop stealing my stuff. [I]I know where you live[/I]"
[QUOTE=Aeris;33906778]Youtube is the biggest shitstorm on Earth, you get flamed there even without impersonators.
I hope you get rid of those idiots, but imo the best thing to do is to completely ignore the whole thing. Try to move your works to another site and choose another username than on Youtube so they'll have a harder time finding and harrassing you.[/QUOTE]
I'm sure this would work, but I'm only considering it as a last resort. Youtube is where I've built up my community, and while I'm sure I hate the pointless changes and useless support as much as the next user, it holds far too much of a monopoly to consider moving anywhere else.
It is quite possible that the people who complain about housebag on your channel are just trolls themselves. Remember that set of videos about "the little homo kid"? Because it annoyed him that people called him "homo", he made videos about how it annoyed him. This made the situation worse. Then people just boarded the troll train to get some reactions.
People are probably doing the same for your situation. They act like they are unaware of the situation and continue to piss all over your channel because they know it annoys you.
In this situation, I really think it would be best to ignore the issue. You can keep trying to report the offending account, but as for trying to explain to the community of tards that resides on YouTube, I'm afraid you may be wasting time and making it worse.
[QUOTE=BLUchameleon;33906255]So, in your opinion, would making a face-to-face video explaining all this once and for all be a good move, or not?[/QUOTE]
it would just make the guy who is spamming feel like he has accomplished something
Reading usernames has never been so difficult...
Disable comments on everything, and perhaps make an annotation explaining the situation. Butthurt users will go away defeated that they can't say anything. Of course, this is a temporary solution until something can actually be done.
[QUOTE=Code Shooter;33906711]This isn't satire, it's a vicious shitbag who probably took a comment toward him far too seriously and/or hates this guy's vids so much that he's willing to dedicate himself to wrecking him in anyway possible.
I know this because i've seen and had to deal with similar jackasses before, and its a big reason why i don't do any public game videos or modding any longer.[/QUOTE]
It is someone making fun of him and trying to ruin his reputation, it is a satire.
Yes it is tasteless, but as you said above you have had to deal with them, as they are numerous.
They are in life, digital reality and even in death (people trash dead people all the time).
You need to learn that these people obviously have nothing better to do then this and you should pity them.
They have a freedom of speech to do this, no matter how wrong it is and you should realize that the "angry youtubers" and this man have truly no effect on you.
Let me say that again, THEY DONT AFFECT YOU.
What is the worst that can happen? Some brain dead group of retards believe this impersonation and rate you badly?
OH NO!!!
Theyre fucking pixels, theyre just like the little pixels under these posts, they do not control the quality of the original thing.
Seriously, I am astonished how seriously you are taking people who are specks of dust in the world who have no backing to show that their opinions should be taken seriously.
Look at the community you are posting videos in? Is this honestly a big surprise?
So here is my opinion, and like one of the millions of shitheads in the world you can take it or leave it and this time I will be completely blunt.
Either get the fuck over these people and give them the finger as you shouldnt want fucking retards who fall for shit as a community base so quit being their bitch and trying to cater to them and creating videos crying for their love.
Or create a new account and move the fuck on with your life.
I am done with this thread.
Taking all this into account, I've decided to return to making videos next month and beyond to see how things turn out, and if problems continue then I'll bump this thread.
Thanks again for all your help on this admittedly petty subject. Blue Chameleon out.

Plus here's the ELA of that faked screenshot so you can use it as proof

Interesting how, instead of editing the text, he had his friend or something send him a message than replaced the avatar
Some douchebag PMed me about his proof that BlueChameleon01 sent the message (the bullshit posted on Pinkiepiefucktards's channel).

So, I ran an image forensics test.

I sent it to him to tell me that his proof isn't proof. Feel free to use the test to convince people it was photoshopped.
Edit: Dammit Vollybomb, you and me ran the same damn test at the same time.

I'll be honest, I photoshopped the image forensics test. Oh, the irony.
At least it was in good intent.

I know I said I was done in here but that's pretty awesome stuff (thank you Corey as well). I just wish I knew about ELA sooner!
No problem! I hope this blows over soon!
I agree, making a video is your best option at this point. Just be sure have it be in person. You may want to dress a bit more sharp than usual, a fedora or bowtie usually works well. Explain the situation, and call out the trolls. Don't be afraid to get angry or raise your voice, these guys are assholes and being reasonable doesn't work for them.
[QUOTE=DangerStranger;33905729]This is not our problem, this is yours. We are not your personal army, hit team, therapist or whatever. Deal with it in a manly manner and stop whining.[/QUOTE]
We're not?
Im from Reading too. Was you born in Royal Berkshire Hospital? /offtopic.
My videos get flamed on FP much more than on YouTube.

No, do not wear a fedora or a bowtie.
After taking a look at the image test, he responded with this:

Some people are just too stupid to admit they're wrong.
This is just ridicules. I know I don't have a life, but trolling youtube accounts is like killing an already dead game's community. Completely worthless.

What exactly is this? What exactly is it showing, I don't understand it
[QUOTE=TheCloak;33937307]What exactly is this? What exactly is it showing, I don't understand it[/QUOTE]
It shows how a JPEG has been altered over time if it was ever edited.
[quote]“Error level analysis (ELA) works by intentionally resaving the image at a known error rate, such as 95%, and then computing the difference between the images. If there is virtually no change, then the cell has reached its local minima for error at that quality level. However, if there is a large amount of change, then the pixels are not at their local minima and are effectively original.”[/quote]
Facepunch could help you out by reporting said crass comments. If they really are that bad, they will be reported and the user will be banned anyway. I'd help
