I used to use my real name but then got an email from the client company who check this site

Oh yeah, I remember your real name now! Blimey that was ages ago.

You're assuming people use their real names on facebook.

I do have a facebook account with my real name but that's just a basic profile for anyone wanting to check up on me prior/post interview to have an online presence, and to stop anyone else putting a fake profile on their using my real name.

Erm, what is facebook ? It is not one of the professional websites that I am familiar with .

Its what you tell the family you are accessing when you are looking at f**kbook.

This does raise the question, am I a real aeroplane, or are my wings "fake news"?

[vetran]

Do I look like a ******* performing orangutan!

FTFY

I don't really care. I use my real name on most forums I post on but probably the most controversial thing I ever do is argue with 3rd wave feminists.

Morning All,

real names in forums

we all grew up with the Data Protection Act, Privacy, pseudo names on the Internet

and today's generation have grown up with Facebook and no privacy and full visibility.

Could it ever happen that CUK would become like Facebook and everybody use their real names ?

If yes, would you share with the rest what your pseudo name was ? Or would you claim a different one ?

Who would associate my previous history with ? hmm, difficult thing really, who on CUK displays the exemplary behavior that you would associate your former self with, I guess the only answer is moi.

Milan.

I would never use my real name on a forum.

I would never use my real name on a forum.

Whereas I would never use my user name.

Nah. Cos someone would go around and kick NLUKs head in if they knew who he was ;-)

Nah. He’d just never get a job working as a security guard again.
