Misuse of Identities, Take Two
Here we go again!
I have let the Webmasters at Webflyer know of this, but it has come to my attention again that some inmature and idiotic morans have been misusing my identity again on the LIVE CHAT! IT happened Tuesday night and I thank the few Flyertalkers who had the heart to tell me.
This has been discussed before but it bears repeating...
CUT IT OUT AND STOP PLAYING AROUND WITH MY NAME AND MY IDENTITY!!! IT'S NOT FUNNY ANYMORE AND I WOULD NEVER, EVER DO THAT TO ANYONE OVER HERE!!
Most of you may think it's a big laugh going on a live board and playing around with someone's name -- especially when the person's not there to defend himself/herself.
But I"m not laughing. And I don't like being humiliated at the expense of a joke.
The solution is passwords and other private tools. I can't wait for that.

Couldn't agree more Catman. These persons IP addresses should be logged somewhere and they should be banned from FT.
CHAT SHOULD BE SHUTDOWN UNTIL SECURE ENTRY IS SOLVED.

we have to type our password to write or reply a post, why not the same procedure for the chat? 
why would anyone use other peoples name to chat? what is the point? they can use any names they want, and nobody would know who they r.... kinda stupid, isnt it?
just FYI, i never go into the chat room, so if u see my name there, it is not me, and please do let me know, thanks!

my personal decision: I (Rudi) will no longer go to the chatroom until this problem is solved.
Until then please note that any 'Rudi' in the chatroom will not be the Rudi

Rudi, I agree with you. I decided 2 weeks ago to wait until the site required a sign-in before going back. Shame we must relent to the 'idiot faction'

I too want to see a password system. It isn't funny at all to usurp someone's identity!

Access by password makes me accountable to the group.

Add me to the list of people who won't chat without a way of guaranteeing the identity of the other people.

Me too! (this is the first and may be the only time in history in which I do a "me too" post...)
And any Jim_B on the chat is not me, too.
