Can you all please STOP setting up copy cat accounts using regular users names or near copies of them. A number of accounts are now showing up and it's getting to the point that some females are worried about their location being compromised.
Thanks!
biggrin cool
been noticed and commented on in private jags?
maybe they think we can't read and we'll all get dead confused if they kind of clone a reg members username? oh . . . their inboxes must be overflowing eh? rolleyes lol ;)
neil x x x ;)
Yes.... there's another 'bloke' and a 'bikerbloke' on the scene too.... confused
It wasn't me I've not set any copy cat accounts up biggrin
However should you wish to repremand me anyhow, feel free to do so :rascal:
PooLady :shock:
Where are the cabbages confused
wink
I saw Massy on here the other day :shock:
Well it appears HLB didn't have a very successful swinging career.
My body double got banned as quickly as she arrived.
Suppose I safe for a while then. biggrin
With nearly half a million users on the site, there are bound to be some with similar name. You put 'Mal' in search, you come up with over 3,000 options (although that would include a lot with 'male' in their name). Put 'Jags' in and you'll get half a dozen.
My next line will remain in my mind!!!!

well . . . apparently . . . . there's stil a knealinleads or some such out there? dunno
if she's getting all my PMs we'll be having words, oh yes we will? ((( though that might explain a lot? confused )))
jags?
how about a rule that deliberate near-cloning of nicks sees an admin change / deactivation / PM / whatever you think is appropriate, cos it does seem that some are deliberately trying to be a bit deceptive? i can't think of specific examples, but like i say we've noticed a few that are almost identicall but for a single letter, number, etc, etc?
neil x x x ;)
p.s. knealinleeds = masquerade ball, so i'll let her off! ;)
I would say that most similar usernames are users who have similar names or nicknames.
But there are also some schemers about. Which would be dificult to tell which is which.
That's Ok Neil but what about, if there's already a 'sheffcpl' and another Sheffield couple wanted to be 'sheffcpl', they might decide to be 'sheffcpl2' or whatever number.
Can't they be banned by the IP address instead, so that anyone deliberately doing it to copycat, gets stopped in their tracks?
i know FB, it's a problem? if another guy called neil who happens to live in leeds wants to pick a nick as crap as mine, who am i to argue? lol ;)
subjective ain't it? some do seem to be deliberate though, but how you decide if it's deliberate or not? dunno

I can't see a problem unless there is a reason to start worrying. Someone did so I banned the account.
cool

I dunno Neil, thought the IP thingy might be the way?
Mark once was able to tell that a user had two (very different) usernames by (I think) looking at the IP and asked him to choose the one he wanted to use.

It was me.
I sent a PM because I didn't want to spoil anyone's fun, but could see a potential problem that I don't want to mention in the open forum for fear of "putting ideas in anyones head"
It's not specifically with the similar types as mentioned by freckedbird, more the recent jokey ones over the last couple of days, spawned by the "WTF ??" thread.

Not quite only one, but it does show that anyone can choose any name as long as it hasn't been duplicated.
If people open accounts now, they have to pay, so unlikely that someone would do it maliciously, there again, several current members already have 2 or more legitimate accounts - how should we control those?

:wink:
Okay - before you all roll about the floor laughing at my ineptitude (I have it seen to soon I promise!), just how do you see the list of members by name/posts/etc these days?
My excuse is that I am knackered - too many long workdays and my brain hurts!
I need a cuddle and a large glass of wine.
I can manage the latter, but i'll have to wait a bit for the former.
Ignore that last post.
Dumbo here!

Nagged by Jags and Gagged by Jags were set up by the Mighty Mark just to 1) annoy KitKat or 2) to annoy me. There should be another closed account called KatJags which was done when Mark BANNED both Kat and me for the evening when we were having dinner together.
Nagged by Jags was Kat when he came back after a short rest from the site (AGES and AGES ago) and I kept on emailing him snippets of stuff which I knew he couldn't resist replying to!! And then Mark changed it to Gagged by Jags just to annoy Kat again!
Ah,.... the good old fun days!!
