    Help us out here Devs. How can a hashtag be used to take over a squad?

    This persons tag doesn't even exist in game, you can't send them tells or anything.

    name is "BringBackSlavery"

    plays offensive music over proximity and platoon

    And that Poo dude claimed his friend isn't hacking. If he's using something to hide his real name to avoid reports.. That is hacking..

    His individual tomfoolery notwithstanding, I've only heard one account of hash characters in a player name before and the person in question was getting their character name changed. With a name like this, I wouldn't be surprised if that was what could be going on here and the client/server ended up in some form of confused state.

    Anyway, since names are unique across the game servers - this guy?

    I know this didnt happen in the video, but keep in mind that people use an upper case "i" instead of a lowercase "L" sometimes.

    It annoys me when games use fonts that don't blatantly differentiate between the two. Every developer should know better by now.

    I used direct send message from the drop down. Watch the video.

    Maybe I don´t get it?
    The only thing I see in the video above, is player´s name not found. But where is the Hack with a # ?
    And did he hacked himself to Platoon leader?

    Use the in-game
    /report
    function and report the player while in-game.

    You don't even say what Server you are on.

    Report them more than once. Once for the bad name, and again for each type of infraction/hack that you think is going on.
