Imitation is the best form of flattery
« on: January 20, 2023, 06:46:01 PM »

Hey Folks,

Someone is using my name to post on a site whose security and user authentication is.... lacking. A screenshot was supplied to me of that person being abusive to AD47UK.

My opinions on him are I think quite obvious and I keep them to myself. I want to make abundantly clear, given I can't prove it on that site as there's zero authentication of users, that that wasn't me. If I were to be moved to post on there it would take a hell of a lot more than AD repeating the same stuff for the 300,000th time.

I use Twitter about once a week, it's awful, I use Mastodon, I post here, I post occasionally on Virgin Media's community forum as IP Freely, I post very occasionally on DSL Reports as Ignite, I use LinkedIn as myself, I use Facebook very occasionally as myself.

I absolutely do not post on the two main UK broadband sites for reasons I've already elucidated. I don't even read them let alone post on either their articles or their forums. This hasn't changed and anyone purporting to be me either by using a name I have used or in text is playing silly buggers.

Thanks for the platform  :)

Thank you for letting us know. I will keep a look out for anything similar whilst "doing the rounds".
