OMG! Are you serious? You banning me for smurfing? Or wait, you call it ghosting. What's the difference? Really? And PS. I only lag every now and then. I wouldn't call it massive! I'd call Jossos being a massive baby though. I mean, really? I haven't reported anyone who has smurfed in a game I've played, ever! And Jossos has done it often. Why can't we all just get along? LOL

The difference is pretty clear.

Smurfing entails using an unknown name, and possibly pretending to be an unknown/new player while doing so.

Ghosting a player entails using a known name belonging to another player, and trying to pass yourself off as that player. Ghosting can also involve the use of a name virtually indistinguishable from that of a known player in an effort to pass yourself off as that player.
