It happens when people who are my friends graffiti a building. Instead of their user name showing up when I clean it, the name "Frink" appears. It is that simple.
I concur with all 3 points you have there ...
1) "Other Springfield" is not a player, hence does not / cannot / never has performed any actions on the player's SF;
2) When a neighbor cleans up graffiti left by another neighbor, it simply erases the graffitti and the player does not see any graffiti;
3) Anonymous players can't have neighbors other than "Other Springfield", so anonymous players can't graffiti you.
The only suggestion so far that seems feasible to me is that it's a server-side error retrieving the username of the player who graffiti'd you ... it can't find the name fast enough, so it substitutes "Frink" for the player's name.
Still, tho ... has anybody else seen GREEN graffiti, or am I the only one?
I'm thinking this too. Like if the programming has glitch and can't remember the username, "Frink" is the default.
