I think it is quite high priority, if possibe, to disable reporting these.

Cant wait to get my MSTechsupport-account get banned for "impersonating"

What do u think @Alexander01998 ?

While your concern is understandable, I don't think it's possible to outright disable username and skin reporting. Remember, Mojang already has access to all your data, including your username and skin as they host these files. Tools like NameMC can let anyone look it up as well.

Bypassing the in-game reporting system wouldn't really help as someone can still contact Mojang support, and they would be able to look up the name and skin histories for any given user.

Mojang has long been known for taking action against usernames they find inappropriate. Case in point, Marc_IRL famously renamed the user "MojangSucksDick" to "NoWeDont" all the way back in 2015.

Edit: It was Marc, not Jeb.

Alexander01998 ur right, but disabling it in-game would make the hurdle much higher, so u wont get "rage-reported" and most people are too lazy to goto the microsoft page

I dont see a way you could possibly disable it.

Instead of signature your name and skin is already bound to login and password combo that acts like a signature and if you would want to disable the connection to this "signature" you essentially would have to stop using your account/delete account and resort to pirated MC which would strop you of the skin.

No way, nobody can do anything to fix that, harsh reality of a centralized authority.
They say you wont get banned for anything though. Couldve been worse.

Stuff has gone worse since Mojang is just another capitalist Microshit (Microsoft) Satellite

speaking from personal experience contacting Mojang support is not fun. also, they are closing so I don't think that's a viable way to report someone's name/skin.

Cyclopropinon Its the issue of Minecraft not being public domain and open source. Esentially they take hostage your piece of data that is your account on their servers and their verification servers are overloaded 24/7 anyway. Additionally making it closed source so that you cant really fix anything. But it is not that bad sicne getting a mod to change an account authority and skin authority is possible and offers a fix to everything bad with base Minecraft.

Divering from the topic. When they said you gotta migrate your account it got obvious they plan some forced contract, which in their case was a new agreement with Microsoft which reserves the right to ban everyone for no reason and integrated telemetry to suck even more profits, but they log more things since they own Windows too. Now some guys plan to take hostage cores of new processorss as subscription to unlock them all, and for years now they add some processing unit monitoring the CPU that definitely wont be a hardware spyware soon. You used to flee to the internet to escape real world, now you gotta flee to the real world to escape the internet.
