A message from Drachinifel
« on: May 17, 2025, 03:41:18 PM »
A worrisome trend but what got my attention the most was how facebook is pretty much ignoring him

PSA: It's come to my attention recently that there a number of people out there pretending to be me for various reasons.

For reference, I am not and have never had any online presence or account on any forum, game or social media as 'Drachinifel' with the following exceptions:
-Youtube (obviously)
-Twitter/X
-Bluesky
-Tiktok
-World of Tanks / World of Warships
-War Thunder
-Discord

And the majority of those are placeholder accounts to try and prevent exactly this kind of impersonation!

So if you see someone or have ever seen someone with the 'Drachinifel' user account or claiming to be me on anything else, or on those platforms with any variation of the name, it isn't me and at best is a fan, at worst is trying to actively sabotage my reputation. Please report any such accounts to the relevant mods/admins/authorities. Disregard anything they say or claim.

Note: Yes this includes the Facebook page that is supposedly representing my channel, I've been actively trying to take it down for some months without any substantial response from Meta.

Not surprising. I've seen this from a number of content creators who have had problems with people basically stealing their content, miming their identity, whole 9 yards, for reasons ranging from misplaced fan affection to straight up attempts to steal from them or their followers.

I'm a BIG fan of a good old fashioned horse whipping for people like that.

Naw. Drach is a naval historian Keelhauling would be more appropriate, IMHO.
