[Urgent Warning] Impersonation and Unethical Recruitment by @Shomnipotence and @MicaApps #696
Description
I am Kenji Mouri, the author of NanaZip. It has been verified that @Shomnipotence (QQ: 799856678) and affiliated accounts (at least including @MicaApps) are systematically impersonating me to recruit developers through deceptive emotional appeals.
Evidence of Misconduct
Here is one of the original screenshots (written in Chinese) which used by this guy to impersonate me to recruit and pressure some developers into unpaid work:
Here is the (actually typical) words (written in Chinese) in the screenshot:
为爱发电，找C#/WinUI3/WPF/.net/Win32/C++/UWP的老哥，（或者熟悉DWM）
nanazip解压对话框，毛利把他改成了mica背景，我希望给他改成亚克力，这需要利用Windows特性（利用winrt或winui3）重绘部分标题栏或内容区背景
我们真的非常需要你的帮助，我们的项目困境重重，就像可怜的小猫咪被困在树上一样，喵喵叫得好凄凉。如果你能够加入我们，给予一些指引和支持，那将是我们的救星！请成为我们的好友，一同披荆斩棘吧！
Here is the English translation:
Looking for someone experienced in C#/WinUI3/WPF/.net/Win32/C++/UWP for love-powered projects (or familiar with DWM).
The nanazip decompression dialog box, Mouri changed it to a mica background, and I hope to change it to an acrylic one. This requires utilizing Windows features (using winrt or winui3) to redraw part of the title bar or content area background
We really need your help. Our project is facing numerous difficulties, just like a poor little kitten stuck in a tree, meowing so sadly. If you could join us and provide some guidance and support, it would be our salvation! Please become our friend and help us overcome the challenges together!
Update: Actually he made the English version for that, here is one of the screenshots provided by the author of https://github.com/IviriusCommunity/Rebound, @IviriusMain.

You will know:
- Misrepresenting themselves as me in private communications.
- Using fabricated claims about NanaZip development needs (e.g., "changing Mica to Acrylic in extraction dialog")
- Targeting developers (including minors) with emotionally manipulative language.
- Ask me paid to him (I paid CNY 2,500+ and think it's OK) for drawing NanaZip 2.0+ icons. Although I‘m not good at drawing icons. The design inspirations like blue icon with letter N and specifications from https://github.com/MouriNaruto/MouriDocs/tree/main/docs/14 is provided by me. But ask other guys for unpaid work even with his commercial projects, you will see most implementations in @MicaApps.
In general, I find this guy's behavior quite contemptible.
Clarifications
- NanaZip is a community-driven project. I have NEVER recruited developers or designers for unpaid work in all my open-source projects. Also, NanaZip Sponsor Edition are free for voluntary NanaZip source code repository contributors, read https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip/blob/main/Documents/SponsorEdition.md for more information.
- To reduce innocent victims, NanaZip will reject all contributions if the developer is asked to contribute to NanaZip by @Shomnipotence and @MicaApps.
