Is there a term (like "joe job") for when someone pretends to be you to get you into trouble? In my case, after I'd already been blocked for a week, an IP address deleted some info that I'd asked to have revdeled. It's possible it was someone who thought they were helping me, but it's also possible - maybe probable - that someone did it maliciously so an admin would think I was dodging my block.
