pigeon controller Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 I had an account with a non de plume and had a message that they would not allow me to continue unless I used my proper name. They have my Email so know I am human. Can you have a false name on Facebook as other people have told me thay have false names etc, if so how do you do it ?? Be gentle with me I'm in my seventies!!!

Jelly Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Whilst you can have a false name on facebook, they have a 'Real names' policy. With this being the case, once they have become aware that the name you are using is false, they will require proof of identity before they'll let you continue. https://www.facebook.com/help/112146705538576?helpref=faq_content Edited April 21, 2019 by Jelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Don't see why not, my Facebook account isn't my real name, it is a real name though not something like highbird. My reasoning being i don't want family and folk i work with sending me rubbish all day or questioning why i do this or that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 How long did it take them to realise “pigeon controller” is not your proper name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnie Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 As above it doesn't miss me I don't miss it. Listen to people at work and their lives are common knowledge to each other and lots of other people too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 I’m on Facebook but it really is a must for modern day people/business. It’s great to show your work and company off. We advertise kitchens and joinery on it and it makes us money. People say it’s not needed but I have family and friends around the world and it keeps us connected. Remember it wasn’t that long ago people thought phones weren’t needed on the names front pc ive noticed lots changing their names back to normal names.i guess it’s so people can be monitored Plus on the buying pages it’s nice to know who your dealing with .

strimmer_13 Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 Sod Facebook, if I wanna talk to someone I'll phone or txt them. Plus I hate Zuckerberg, he's a right tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team tractor Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) How’d you do that in different time zones like aus or Canada? Although it’s possible It’s perfect so not to disturb each other asleep or at work. I see pictures of my family For work wise it’s brilliant as I said . I’ve had customers loose contact and get back in touch plus the joinery forum I run has 2000+ members and I’ve found /made some brilliant contacts in the trade that make me my living . I think peoples understanding of Facebook is dole dossers moaning at each other , people spending hours on it but it’s easy to look away just like tv. i chat to 10+ people off here on Facebook and I’m happy to call them good friends I have the landowners on mine in their 70’s and my own parents. You just add who you want and delete the idiots Edited April 21, 2019 by team tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted April 21, 2019 Report Share Posted April 21, 2019 It's like anything else really, useful for groups or clubs, but i don't want everyone knowing all my business. I get where TT is coming from, it would be foolish to not show your work. But i don't want to see every meal folk have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
