General Chat

I often see references to 'nastiness', 'bullying' and veiled references to discontent and division on these boards. What is it all about? I've seen nothing to give me concern, although I would say some of the more interesting contributors seem to have defected. Please, someone explain, and give examples this simple man can understand!

Not too sure Andy, pretty new to this side, even though I have been a member for years but I think some people have been impersonating others! how? I can only guess they found out the password> strange game?????

So? Impersonation? It's the internet, don't take it seriously!

I think it's all in their minds Andy

you dont need the password to impersonate any member the persons responsable for this are joining as new members and using existing members board names Paul

impersonation, it is possible to change your onscreen details so that you appear to be someone else......... Bob

Paul. How?

I have a lot living reallies on my tree and I don't open my tree to anyone...so if they can get in to my acc , I think I shall worry...

Andy by raking up the muck /making insinuations,while incognito stirs up a hornets nest of accusations Bob

This is Andy Day, from Wealdstone, testing to see if he can be Paul ( Tigger). Apologies Paul.

No Problem andy see how easy it is Paul

Yep Andy it can be lol

Well that little test proved impersonation easy. Again apologies Paul. It seems to me there is a loophole GC need to pay some attention to. Don't suppose they will though!

Paul,(tigger) I reckon that you are a freaky guy at times......... Andy.....

Andy, there have been many recent incidences of people posting messages on the success board late at night and over weekends. Unfortunately these posts have named members and made very nasty personal comments about them If you click on the details of the poster, they have already deleted themselves from the site. I understand that last night there were two incidences of this and in both cases, the names of other members( but with the addition of an extra character in one case) were used as the name adopted by the poster. Jay

please dont anyone tell me off but has anyone thought that it might be someone that doesnt post on this site that puts these messages up and then sits back and watches the paranoia that follows!

I left the second part on so that you can see the real me.........also If you know YOUR membership number the fake CAN be spotted. Bob

A chatroom I subscribe to - PalTalk - invites users to give a unique nickname which CANNOT be changed. Seems a good idea to me!

Andy That has its good and bad points.........but on here posters sometimes want to have a change of nom de plom

To find your or anothers number, right click the persons ID, PROPERTIES, the number is at the end of the string.
