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!

How is FB censoring the internet? Their site their rules. Don't like it or can't abide by their rules then don't use it. It sounds like they're trying to help you by making you stop role playing.

My FB troll account is still active. Maybe you need to be more sneaky like me.

So that's mean that Kal -El, Nicolas Cage's son will never have a Facebook account.

Didn't Kevin Smith name his daughter Harley Quin?

Woof! This is some gold.

I hear there is a way to register a pseudonym, but I think it only works if you're famous.

That's ridiculous. He said it wasn't even a RP account, and others are having the same problem because they use pseudonyms. Heck, a lot of people on FB don't want to use their real names for privacy reasons, whether they're famous or not. And it's a shame that they can't do that now, because FB wants to keep "criminals" out, but they're going about it all wrong, if that's the case. You don't weed out bad apples by tossing out good ones, too. That's just stupid. And rules or no rules, if it's HURTING your customer base, it's just BAD BUSINESS.

Endusers aren't the customer base, advertisers are. We're the product to be sold.

He shoulda gone with Harleen Quinzel instead. Much more normal.

Except without the end-users, they'd have no COMPANY. Since it was designed FOR the users, NOT the advertisers. That s**t came later.

Lot of entitlement for a service that is free of charge.

*Candy Kappa* · 06-29-2015, 06:54 PM

Not an RP account, but still for organizing "Foot activities" as Shredder... Ha, right.

Not entitlement, just stating the simple fact of what it was created for. SOCIAL media, NOT advertising. It was/is a format for people to keep in touch and communicate on-line with personal news, photos, etc. It was NOT created as an on-line yellow-pages. Sadly, that is what it's turning into. Capitalism at its finest..... And incidentally, they HAVE considered charging in the past. Ended with a mass protest that got the idea nixed. Anybody remember that?

Yet they can pull down profiles just because it HAPPENS to have a fictional character's name. Hmmm, I'm sensing some possible future backlash.... I mean, what are the odds even that some pedo creep is going to name their profile something like "Sailor Moon" or "Leonardo Hamato", anyway? This isn't going to root out that kind of crap- if anything, it's just going to make them more creative in how they "hide". By making up fake names or using some random name from the phone book or whatever. How would anyone ever KNOW that's not their REAL name??!

*BubblyShell22* · 06-30-2015, 09:04 AM

Yep, exactly. As long as you have an e-mail address, anyone can log on as anything. But this is the way these sites run, and it's sad. FB is a sh*thole which is why I'm not on it. They just want to control everything and everybody when it was simply created for people to stay in touch with each other.

*Cure* · 06-30-2015, 11:10 AM

I'm in agreement with this. Facebook is meant for real people to connect with each other, not pretend people.
