FLL wrote:"Me [FLM]". I seems more likely to me that they are hoping people here add them as friends and give them a boost that way. It could be more sinister if they try to message anyone here in eMule using the cloned nick, but that doesn't seem to be happening.
Well I think it's rather ANNOYING, seeing myself trying to download all me releases. FYI, I never use my name popdrome/ALIPTES although I tried once, and stumbled onto the parasite.

the solution that we at the norwegian forum has adapted is using the special nordic letters (æøå) in our nicks... So far i haven't seen myself downloading from me, and i only give out FS to people from the norwegian board or from FLM that i'm chatting in emule with..

So use ASCII.

The chap using my nick has gone, but if it should happen again ill do that.

The only possible benefit I can think of is with the community shraring feature in clients like eMule Plus which give a 1.5x boost to the score of users who have the desired tag in their nick. Eg. I have set [FLM] as my community tag. If you have [FLM] as the first tag in your nick, I'll give you a 1.5x boost.
In my mod i give a 15x boost to friends. Everytime i see someone with the tag [FLM] in the nick, i add him to my friendslist.

Is it important to chosse a name for yourself (e.g as abvoe having flm in your name will mean people at least know of you)
I have just left mine as the default, didn't think it was important.

No, in general it is not important. But if you don't edit your nick, people can't recognize you and give you a friend upload slot etc.

So you have excluded a whole class B network ?? I can't understand why you would do that.
