It's an unfortunate side effect of the disguise function (which this individual is deliberately abusing).

Ah, yes! The Chatlog does indeed give the original name. Forgot about that. Win for the client extension!

I should still have the history of the last incidents where Alyndra was involved. Let's see if I can get a name out of there.

EDIT: found it, who do I send it to?
Leaving this locked, per the moderator post above. Just noting for everyone's awareness that the appropriate channel for reporting someone like this is the DM Team or Head DM groups.

The DMs can't plug in the ban, but they can run defense for the players until a HDM or admin is around if none of them are immediately available to enact a ban.
