Do mods really make private messages like this in game?
I thought it was kind of suspicious.
All the blackened out stuff are just irrelevant pms/drops.
In game pm from a mod..?
GoSka!
Darkobra
No. That and mods have full real names and coloured writing that normal players can't get.

Okay. I figured this was just some kind of joke, thanks

No, it's not a mod. Mods should never contact you in game... ever. If there was something wrong with your name they would simply temp ban you. Anet staff types in purple.

lol either that guy is way too easily offended or he thought it would be funny to make you think ur name was innappropriate

What the hell's an "offline PM" ?
Very suspicious - not a scammer though - more likely someone who wanted that name
Lol at "onconveniance" ^^

A few friends have had PMs like this before, reported it to ANet and were told that ANet will never contact them this way.
Interesting fact though, a quick google of this guy's name with "Guild Wars" tagged onto the search tells me it's just some 15 year old kid. I wouldn't worry ^_^
Probably just wanted your name or something o_O

I think I read in the EULA that immitating a member of ANet is against the rules of it. You should report him for being a moron.

Send the screenshots here: http://help.plaync.com/cgi-bin/playn...nduser/ask.php He'll really be offline after they see it.
GoSka!
Eh, i won't bother reporting him.
I think i recognize the name though.
Some guy wanted to join this guild i was in, and there was no room. So I told him politely that there simply wasn't any space.
He spammed "INVITE???" several times :P. I called him a moron and he decided to get on another account, and send about five screenshots worth of E-Threats.
I reported him and i'm pretty sure he got banned. This could be his way of revenge? lol.

Impersonated Anet staff is against EULA. I suggest you report him, don't be lazy it only take 5 mins. Some newbies or those who don't know any better might fall for such act.

I guess he just did not take the oppertunity of the temp ban to further his education much though as it seems
take_me
Haha.
I had someone pm me ingame 2 years ago saying he was a mod.
He told me there has been a report of a scam and asked how much money I had.
I asked him the name of my account, as a mod should know that. -> no more messages from him.
Quite pathetic.

Another Felldspar
And since you have such nice screenshots you really should report this user to support. It is very much against EULA to impersonate A-Net staff. Of course, you really should black out the sender's name too -- it is again GURU rules to post those.

I'm kidding, ban the guy forthwith.
TheRaven
Hmmm, actually a quick google search (Thx for the idea, Kamara) shows that he's a member of Zealots of Shiverpeaks. Personally, I'd report him to his guild leader. Please include the screenshots.
You know I used to have a lot of respect for that guild, but lately I've been hearing a lot of reports of their members acting like douchebags.

I saw that too, he just applied there highly doubt he's a member. He's got a forum membership, but anyone can do that. You could add this to his application, but after reading it I doubt they will consider it anyways.
N1ghtstalker
well if he's a staff member it should mean he's a GM right?
meet up with him in a town and ask him to show his GM status
if he can't do it he's fake

notice how he/she says your gonna get a ban and says your account will be deleted, why would they ban you if their gonna delete your account?, just thought id point that as well just to add more proof that he isn't a mod
TheRaven
He is not a mod, GM, CSR or affliated with Anet in any official or even unofficial capacity. If there is any doubt on that issue, let's clear that up now.
Commander Ryker
Exactly. If Anet wanted you to change your name, they would do a temp ban and then make you change it before you could log back on. They will never contact you in game like that.
