Oh well - I've been away for a while now, so I couldn't react sooner, but:
-fake posts are possible... unfortunately
-If you don't like it, go play somewhere else... not that easy
Now let me explain. I don't have to be on abandonia, but someone else could be posting in the shoutbox using my name. That person could have converstions and even though 'I'd play' somwhere else, I'd be the only one who'd know...
Since I've made quite a few friends here I wouldn't like someone else to talk to them in my name because:
1. I'm not a part of the converstion, so I won't know what my friend is telling me
2. Someone else would be saying thing in my name, so the person, who's on the other side of the converstion will get a wrong picture about me (woudln't have to be, that they'll think less of me, but they have a wron opinio0n about who I am)
3. If nothing else, it's illegal to take somebody elses identity and punishable by law!
I know it doesn't sound serious- someone posted under my name, but then again - 'someone orderd 20 pizzas in the middle of the night to my address' doesn't sound serious either... It's a prank call and people might think it's not hurting anyone - iut's just a joke, but it isn't so:
1) Someone has to pay the bill.
2) The people getting the pizzas will have big trouble ordering at that piztza-delivery again. They won't be willing to accept their orders because they too will have in mind the possibility it's a phoney call.
So such jokes are serious, even if that doesn't sound like much!
Now a question - can the shoutbox be aranged so, that once you log in your identity is the name you have to use in the shoutbox as well? That way no-one could post as someone else...
