How easy is it becoming to tell who is who, even when they change identities?

I have seen the same ,,,ers, incognito, all over the place ...How easy is it becoming to tell who is who, even when they change identities?
By their attitude in their answers, and warnings from others, when a lot

of thumbs down show of with out good reason, is what I go by, other

then that I don't know.How easy is it becoming to tell who is who, even when they change identities?
It is almost impossible unless you can recognise their style.



I have trouble when contacts change their names and avatars at the same time, so if it was a total stranger, I would probably not pick up the change.How easy is it becoming to tell who is who, even when they change identities?
No way to tell really. They can do a hit and run and never even leave a pardon my dust. If my or my contacts' usual number of violations spike I just try to find out why.How easy is it becoming to tell who is who, even when they change identities?
%26lt;sigh%26gt; The bad guys are diabolically clever in hiding their identities. For example, I once had a male stalker on here pretend to be a teenaged girl so that I'd add %26quot;her%26quot; as a contact or let her be my fan just so he could report me.



I fell for it, too. I mean, here was this profile with the typical Jonas Brothers garbage and several questions about a boy in school. I thought it was a teenaged girl so I let her add me as her contact but, shortly thereafter, I started getting all these notices of violation so I had to quit using that account for awhile and purge the fans.



I can't prove %26quot;she%26quot; was my stalker but, coincidentally, about the time %26quot;she%26quot; was my fan, he quit harassing me via email.



Now I don't let anyone add me unless they have at least 1,000 points. Even then, I scrutinize their profiles and the questions they've answered as well as the ones they've asked.
