Someone is borrowing my Folding Moniker! The nerve of some people. Doesn't he know there is only ONE Mystery_Folder?!

I thought the stanford web site was supposed to prevent this from happening, There is a feature on the FAH home page that checks if a user name is already in use. what gives, it checks ,but does'nt prevent duplicates.

I'd recommend you claim copyright infringment, and get Stanford to boot the imposter,

Doesn't that only help you? You get the points the other guy is racking up, right? I fail to see the problem, other than perhaps the ethical one of you stealing someone else's cpu cycles :--)

Well I posted a question on the Folding Forums and they seem to think there's nothing to do about it. Guess I just get to see a mini me on my stats page.

You never know, he may stop when he checks his score on the F@H page and sees your name

IIRC, his points will be separate from yours because your on different teams, so unless you can convince him to join our team there should be no problems.

Just cuz I like a challenge, I did some research on this fella's team and found it to be a group of RAF folks in the UK. Popped off an email to their webmaster and asked him to contact their M_F to see if he would consider changing his moniker. It'll be interesting to see what the response is.

Just curious. What was the result?

I never received a reply from the RAF boys but that Mystery_Folder ceased any folding contributions soon after. He still comes up on my Contributions page.
