Players with identical nicknames

[A`nub`is]

Brief Description:
Two players having exactly the same nickname.
While the game thinks it's only 1 account
(screwed up stats; 2nd guy being not existent at all)
they were definitely 2 different people playing.

How to Replicate:
No idea how they did it, but apart from screwing
with all stats it also looks to me like this may
be an exploit where users without an account
are able to play the game.

Some screens:
(no resizing/thumbnails, deal with it (it's better this way))

They have the same nicks (no hidden characters (I guess)), since banlist assist said the brown one can't be banned because he already is banned (due to banning the green one first):

Yeah you just sign into the same account again. No big tricks. There's nothing to prevent more than one instance of a user being online at the moment.

Uh well kinda... I was pretty sure you'd get logged out if someone else logs in with the same account.

So I just tested this and it still is like this UNLESS you are already in a game - in that case you do not get disconnected and can log in with one account as many times as you want.
