Edit: They had a Base32 message. It decoded to this:

I’ve had my fair share of encounters with the fake Tasha. At first it seems that it is the actual Tasha (I’ll explain why in a moment) but if you read the posts sent by the fake Tasha, you’ll notice a lot of differences, both in grammar and speech, when compared to the original Tasha.
What I could understand from this was that the impersonator knew Tasha’s and Jenn’s way of typing but not too well. The impersonator knew Tasha’s way of typing better than Jenn’s, but again not quite well. Because, Jenn is legendary for typing completely in lowercase, using contractions in her sentences (like “y’all”) and often inserting humour into her posts, none of which the impersonator did, as evident from the screenshot in the original post.
As for Tasha, Tasha’s post are very welcoming, friendly and always typed in sentence case which makes it look very formal, but at the same time friendly. Often finishes a post with “Happy Glitching” which was the only thing that the impersonator got right. And most often begins with “Hey ‘yournamehere’”.
This fake Tasha did their job well in convincing me that it was the real Tasha, although I did yell that I’m against Glitch Staff impersonation at first. (I can’t find that post anymore, it seems to have been removed).
In case you wanna verify me, message me on Twitter and follow me (which is what someone here on this forum once did to verify themselves )
Wow. Did you know that for a long time, or just noticed it. That data is actually pretty accurate. But, another way to verify is to ask for a domain removal. A domain removal is something exclusive to staff, so it would prove they are staff.
what’s your handle? I can verify that I am a nobody who doesn’t use Glitchord and has an account on that forum for new reason. heh.
The create account page for Glitchord was pretty damn slick though
I am closing this thread since it is not directly related to Glitch. Please be cautious of anyone who claims to be Glitch staff outside of our website. If you ever have questions about this, you can contact us via the Help Center.
Future messages about this should be posted in the forum where the impersonation is happening, not on Glitch.
