People who impersonate others from Yahoo
Mar 10^th, 2011 at 9:47pm

Ok Mods .. what's the deal re those who impersonate other people from Yahoo.

Tonight I took on and discovered that the id FRENCHYJEN70 who posts on here is in fact NOT my close friend who has been posting under the id FRENCHYJEN70 on Yahoo for many years.

And the id on this board under the name FRENCHYJEN70 even tried to make me think it was her.

I would appreciate a reply about what happens to anyone who has deliberately set out to impersonate another online persona from Yahoo .. and then seen fit to deliberately deceive others on OzPolitic by pretending to be that person.

Regards

Lisa

Here .. take a look Mods.

I find it disgusting that a person would stoop so low as to emulate another person by deliberately copying their exact name .. letters and numbers so as to make others think it was a person from another message board. And then attempt to pretend they were that person in a deliberate and pathetic attempt to deceive others.

Creating an ID on one site doesn't mean you own that ID globally. To assume that an ID on this site is being used by the same person who used that ID on another site is simply stupid.

What's Yahoo? - or at least, what is its relevance here? As long as people abide by the site rules, anything else is irrelevant.

WHile I do not understand why anyone would want to impersonate a user from another site and think it a disgracefull thing to do I also agree it has no relivance to the moderators of this site.

In some cases it may not be intentional, like the real world multiple people have the same names and nick names, if someone is using your id on one site it does not stop you from registering the same name on a different one.

As I stated in the other topic:

The matter has been reported .. the relevant Mods are now aware of what has happened here and the matter will be addressed by them.

For the record .. I condemn any troll like the id FRENCHYJEN70 from Oz Politic who impersonates and clones another online persona and then pretends to be that person.

Regards to all.
