Facebook deleting profiles with fictional names!

*shredder orokusaki* · 06-28-2015, 02:09 AM

I dont know how many of you have noticed it but this is something very serious! Two days ago when i went to facebook it showed me a message that the profile has been closed, without giving any reasonf or that! Then i try to create a new Shredder profile and it told me this:''We ask from all users to use their own real name in facebook''. Then i checked the profiles of people that i had added in my friend list that also have tmnt characters names(mostly they were shredders too and foot members) and i noticed that most oft hem has been deleted too! By doing it facebook is hutrting tmn! Not only delete our profiles but it dosent let us create a profile with a name of a tmnt characters. Nickelodeon enemies must have paid lot of millions for facebook to do that! Your opinions? Discuss!!!

What a shame, Facebook seems to hate the Shredder xD.

Facebook is heavily cracking down on people who use fake or "gimmick" names. A lot of people I work with in the wrestling business have had problems with it, especially. Most of them specifically do NOT use their real names on Facebook, for obvious privacy reasons, yet still want to interact with fans and other people in the business (since nobody in wrestling knows anyone else's name either, usually... I mean you only ever see each other when you're in-character). Or still more will have both a Public FB page with their performer name, and also a Private FB page just for friends and family, using their real name.

For some reason FB has been seriously going after people since like October. I'm not sure why but I have noticed that I suddenly can't recognize any of the names on my Friends list, and that's not something I'm a fan of. I think they need to leave it alone.

*IndigoErth* · 06-28-2015, 02:44 AM

Well, FB is picky anyhow about extra accounts and accounts that aren't just plainly you.

I'd once had several accounts set up with some similar names and, in particular, very similar emails via semi-temp email accounts, i.e. Indigoerth1@, Indigoerth2@. (Don't ask, it was for game cheating so I didn't have to bother others when I needed some stupid item. lol) They eventually caught on and I lost most that were too similar. (I created some new extras later, but I had to give them more variety.)

So, I don't know if it would be a distinctly TMNT thing or rather just names they've caught on to.

Personally FB needs to pull the stick out of it's butt over that. They claim it's to protect people, as if you're scamming with a fake identity or something, but come on, most aren't.

I don't really see the point off making RP accounts on FB unless it's your own intellectual property or persona.

*shredder orokusaki* · 06-28-2015, 05:58 AM

No it was not a RP account. I had it since 2008 i created both to communicate with friends and also to organize Foot Operations . FB claims that they do it because there are criminals that they use facebook too, but deleting profiles with nicknames is not the solution to the problem. I already told about it to all of my friends and some of them decided to delete their profiles(even though not all of them have nicknames as their facebook names) because they believe just like me that internet must be free and not censored by big companies like fb or any other!

They hate turtles too , there are lot of Turtles profiles that has been deleted!

Facebook is sh*t. Who cares? They want to be able to sell all of your personal info to other companies.

Also, I don't think this belongs in this sub-forum.

*BubblyShell22* · 06-28-2015, 08:26 AM

I don't know what this is about, but I don't think FB hates TMNT. Maybe they're doing this as a way for people to use real names. I'd love to have an FB account that's not my real name, but if I can't do that, then I just won't go on there. I'd rather go on Tumblr, and I suggest you do the same, dude.

*ToTheNines* · 06-28-2015, 08:38 AM

So... wait up. You're not the real Oroku Saki?

*snake* · 06-28-2015, 08:49 AM

Guys, this is a conspiracy!!!1!1!

*BubblyShell22* · 06-28-2015, 08:57 AM

You know, maybe they don't want you to sign up as that name because you're stealing someone's identity, and they don't want anyone else using the name.

*Powder* · 06-28-2015, 12:36 PM

So you mean there's actually a site out there that refuses to let you pretend you're Shredder? Maybe God is real after all!

*TigerClaw* · 06-28-2015, 01:23 PM

I remember reading about this, When Facebook were forcing Drag Queens to change there names to RL ones.

Google Plus however, Lets you put in whatever name you want.

Okay "Casey".

Just ribbin' ya, sailor.

I think I set mine up as "athlete" or "entertainer" so that could be why I haven't been hassled. ((Knocks wood)) I don't really care about FB but it's pretty much required for the wrestling business. I try and have some fun with it sometimes. Too many people playing "Look at me! I'm special!" though.

I sorta don't, I have my middle in place of my last. (Don't tell FB! lol)

Wouldn't it be terrible if Oroku is a legit surname and someone with it who's a Turtle fan decided to name their kid Saki? They could never have a Facebook account. lol

Facebook is stupid like that though. I've heard of Native American folks having to fight with them due to some last names or whatnot over regular legit accounts. Shame.

Your humor wins the Technodrome forums for the day, sir... laughed my shell off.

It's still early and I haven't had any coffee. I'm still in this thing. Let's not go saying things we can't take back later.

But yeah that was a good rib.
