Potential Imposters In Chat

[The Gentleman Scamp]

Why is it now possible to enter a name of your choice upon entering chat?

If there was any need to be anonymous why go in in the first point and more seriously, what is to stop people causing potential havoc by impersonating another member, or mod even?

This happened to Ice Maiden the other night.

Just a thought, but a sensible one for once eh.

Only Admins and some mods are protected. I'd say if particular regular acts out of the ordinary then probably isnt them.

It will be integrated in short order. We've had alot of other things on the go and the chat room is on the list. If you suspect someone is an imposter, send them a PM through the board, and in the chat, ask them to send a reply. Unless it's the real person, they won't be able to.

There are quite a few regulars in there (of a morning, anyway). They'll be able to suss out imposters within a few minutes. I agree it will be better when entry controll is instigated.

Can you define what an 'imposter' is on an anonymous webboard?

Someone who enters the chat under someone else's TV nickname.

So how do you know that the entrant doesn't own the nickname?

That's the point. However, most of the regulars in there have certain traits which confirm that they are who you think they are; or not.

I complained about this when Chat was first reopened.

This is one of the reasons I won't go there.

Jeez I hope that his bosses are not reading TV 'coz I reckon 16 hours a day is a bit on the conservative side

[kayo]

I´ve nevr been there.

My user name is not Kayo.

I´m not a Klazy Krown.

This isn´t me, nor are you who you think to be.

I never lie.

[khall64au]

Oh oh....... what've I done? I told the Krazy Klown stuff I never told anyone before........ I TRUSTED him!!!!!!!!!

[kayo]

and the krown looked over the the Krall and said, "Muah Ha Ha Ha!!! Now I know all of your secrets I shall rule the WoRLD!!!!!!"

And then he woke up.

[Old Croc]

I keep seeing someone called "Yorky" in Chat, but I can't find him in the membership list.

This is the type of imposter that needs to be watched.

[The Dude]

The Dude would be very upset if someone tried to impersonate him.

[meadish_sweetball]

Dude.

I know who he is. His membership name is "yorkie" but he's too much of a lazy bugger to type all the letters.

[kayo]

He was on the other day, his username said:

" yorkie -sleeping "

So i proceeded to chat alone for an hour before boring myself silly and going home.

[khall64au]

Help!!!!!!!!! I want to be an imposter in Chat but I just got thrown out for being myself and I can't get back in............... Kayooooooooooooo!!!!
