IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL QIIME 2 FORUM USERS
We have recently identified potentially suspicious accounts that are impersonating QIIME 2 support personnel 
Please note that QIIME 2 does not provide support through offline communication. All official support is exclusively provided by our forum moderators, who can be identified by the presence of a 'Forum Moderator 
' or 'Leader' title and shield icon next to their name.
If you see any user who claims to be 'QIIME 2 User Support' who is not listed as a moderator and/or requests for your your response via direct message or offline communication, do not respond. Please report any suspicious accounts or communications immediately to a forum moderator (either by tagging a moderator by their username, or tagging @moderators to notify the entire moderator team), or by flagging the message for moderators to review 
Thanks for your help in keeping the QIIME 2 Forum a safe and collaborative place!
