We are under discussion with modifying the impersonation rule.

I hate to breaking up the discussion but think he deliberately did that because If the new player joined with that name, It wouldn't not be exactly like Signal's name ( SiGNal ).

Server's Rules : Impersonating: Impersonating includes using a name in the chat or on the server which differs only, from another already existing name owned by a VCMP player, with 0-3 letters (excluding a clan tag if it is registered in VKs) depending on the case. This rule does not apply if the staff doesn't find any similarity between the both names or if the person who is being impersonated is okay with it. Players that are caught breaking this rule should be offered a stats transfer and get warned, kicked or banned. If a player is impersonating an admin from the VKs staff or a VCMP developer (users in the Developers group on forum.vc-mp.org) then the severity is increased as it puts the server at risk and therefore a direct permanent ban should be issued. wrote:

The rule applies for case-sensitive characters.
