I see some members,using MVP with their Avatar,on occassions,when doing a search,find they are imposters.
Probably not illegal,and wondering whether if it is proven,in fact they are not MVP's,should Admin remove such,from their Avatars?

If it can be determined that their claim is most likely false, they should be sent a PM to the effect that either they establish their claim to the title or it will be erased within X number of days.

If there are any concerns about a person's claim to being an MVP, all information should be sent directly to me.

Thanks
