Official statement from macer75 regarding Macer-75, macer-75, etc

Since so many people have been asking me about them, I think this is a good time for me to make an official statement regarding the matter. There are three things that I want to make clear:

1. I have no idea who they are. They are not my accounts. In the past I have been accused by members of chess.com of multi-accounting, and my response has always been that chess.com can do an IP address check on me if it wants to. And that is still my response now. Despite multiple allegations, I have never been found guilty of multi-accounting, because I have only ever had one account on chess.com. (In fact, despite my reputation as a rule-breaker, I have only ever been guilty of a few minor infractions, such as impersonating staff and repeating explicit language that someone else posted.)

2. Both macers are saying that they were the original macer, that they were around on chess.com before I was, and that I am an imposter. That is false. If you ask people who have been around long enough here, they will tell you that they never heard of any macers before me.

3. I am not asking the staff to ban them. I do not have a patent for the name macer75, so other people are free to use it if they want to. But of course, the decision whether or not to ban them is ultimately made by the staff, and once they make that decision I will not argue with it. Also, if the other macers are found guilty of infractions unrelated to impersonating me, my statement should not be construed as defending them.

I hope that clears things up a bit. If you have any other questions regarding the subject, feel free to leave a comment below.

Besides these recently created 'Macer 75' accounts, there's also another member called macer00, who joined Mar 13, 2014, and disappeared in the same day, but has made a few comments though(A total of 9). I believe you're the real Macer, since it's the most ancient around here, and the others just appeared in the month of May 2014.

P.S: The occupation on your profile says 'chess.com forum troll(Why else did i get banned?). So, which was your previous account then, real Macer? Or is it just another trolling, at all?

P.P.S: What would anyone gain by pretending to be Macer? Attention from other trolls?

Thanks for letting me know about the Macer00 guy. Fortunately, it seems he's going to cause much trouble.

Regarding my profile... let's just say that the last time I tried to explain it was the time I got warned for impersonating staff.

And as for why they're pretending to be me, I think your hypothesis is probably more or less correct. The only two possibilities that I can think of off the top of my head are 1. getting attention, and 2. destroying my reputation by pretending to be me and doing... stuff. Based on what I've seen so far #2 is highly unlikely.

I hope neither of the macers get banned as both you and the other macer are participating in my mafia game :D

wut

I believe if someone is fairly known on the chess.com forums (which macer75) is, people should not be able to have very similir names and the same profile picture. This should be called impersonating. So either all the fake macers change their picture or they stop posting on the forums.

Well... I would say that at times I'm bothered and other times I'm amused, but overall I'm more amused than bothered.

Why do you continue to amuse and bother us with this mindless topic from the @Macer Family of Incest ??

Generate another pastime, PLEASE.  Have you no shame ??

omg I'm so confused

                Fans of the real Macer know he doesn't have a hyphen, - _,  Also macer_75  became a member 3 days ago.

Thanks for the info Captain Obvious

Great shades, @Talon.  Very becoming on you.

I will ask my FBI co-workers to look into his matter right away...so don't worry, the truth is out there.  And later, for your safty you all will need to forget about this post.
