The reality
Many people share a name. The first to register gets the handle.
What to do
- Use your name with a short word that fits you, such as your field.
- Add a period or underscore.
- Use impersonation only if the profile pretends to be you.
If it does pretend
Show who you are and where the profile misleads. See what to include.
