troopermaster Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Is anyone else having problems logging into facebook? I am being asked to send a photo of myself and information which I do not wish to do. Will I have to make a new account and lose everything in my current account?

Bone[TK] Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) Err, no ... Did you get an E-Mail, or is it posted in your private Facebook Setting? Edit: I can't reach your FB page anymore ... Also, you are not in my friendlist anymore. Looks like you have been swallowed by the ground.

Locitus[Admin] Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Nothing here on my part. It could be that someone tried to log into your account too many times and now it's locked until you prove it's yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spycee[TK] Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Is it from an email ? NEVER click on a link in an email, go directly on the web site. Big companies make a point not to ask for personal informations in their emails, to distinguish themselves from fraudulent persons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'm trying to log in and it's asking for this information. I think it's because my account is not a real name. I just don't like sending private information if it's a scam but it looks like it's genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Make sure to click the padlock next to the URL and read the certificate info. If it says facebook, you're reasonably safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tray[TK] Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 If it isn't a real name that may be why they are making sure you are a person and not a spambot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechosenhitman[TK] Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Facebook has been on a mission to make everyone use their real name. It is them asking for verification. I know several people that this has happened to & if you don't do it they will prevent you from using their "service" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolo[TK] Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I don't use my real name either. Lets see what happens Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark PWF[Staff] Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I actually switched my name from Dark CMF to my real name on FB only within the last month or two, because another Legion member who was using his TKID as his FB account name had someone complain that he wasn't using his real name, and FB just deleted his account. He lost everything associated with the account, which was what prompted me to make the switch. I'd look into a way to contact FB, to see if you can talk to someone there and explain that it is a business, not a person. Perhaps that will help you out somehow, but if it is happening on the log-in screen then it is legitimately an issue with them. As Matt mentioned, they are on a mission as of late, to make everyone use their real name. You are not showing up anywhere on my FB either... You may have already been "zapped" by the FB police...

Felice Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Paul, i thought that Trooper Master is your real name:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddo[TK] Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I know Ken, the "Elvistrooper" was recently required to eliminate the Elvistrooper from his FB name. FB is aiming toward requiring companies and organizations to pay for reach, so they are clamping-down on anything nicknames that might be a business or org disguised as a person.

Locitus[Admin] Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 You might need to create a personal page, and then a TM-page that people can like and send messages to. So while that might not hide your person, it separates you from TM into two separate entities you control. That's how RS and CFO did it.

Daetrin[Admin] Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 I use two FB accounts too. My real one, and my 501st one. Else it's oil and water... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted December 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 That's what I did but they weren't linked. It's a pain starting a new page having to upload a lot of photos again but it has to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
