Is this against Facebook's TOS? I mean, I know people make fake FB accounts all the time, but it's smart to make sure your page has at least a *somewhat* realistic name. Otherwise, FB can lock that account at any time.

I had a friend who was a wuss about turning down requests, but didn't want to be FB friends with all the people from her past. So she did the old porn star name trick (first pet, street you grew up on) and FB locked her account after a couple or years. She tried to appeal to no avail.

I want to do this for PS4 streaming and screen shots, but I don't want to lose my account at some point.

If they think you're not a real account they'll give you some capcha stuff to log back in.

Simple right?

That is until they present you with a series of random pictures and prompt you to identify your "friends" in each one based on 4-6 options.

Clever. Everyone in this thread, the guy with no picture or any other information at all or any posts or anything is Platy Potamus

I haven't played Marvel in a little bit, but I do plan on re-installing it again soon! Also, we most likely have other games in common, so feel free to add me up!

I love when any sign up for asks for Facebook. It's a one click setup and login for life. I wish more things I signed up for would do the same.

So a few people in the Marvel: Puzzle Quest thread mentioned their accounts got banned (by Facebook). Basically it asked them some "are you a robot" questions, which they answered successfully, but then it asked them to identify their friends via their friends' profile pictures.

And I assume they just saw a bunch of Marvel: Puzzle Quest avatars and didn't know who the hell anyone was.

So is this widespread? Are there any precautions we should be taking? I've accepted everyone's friend request from GAF, and I've added some "recommended friends" (basically anyone who had a M:PQ avatar). I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid this banning. I might even consider making some nonsensical status updates every now and then.

If this does become an issue, then we can also amend the first post and create a database of people + their [i]unique[/u] avatar, so anyone who gets flagged would just have to look in this thread to match up the profile pics. That's only if there's a need for that, which so far it doesn't seem like.

I did not get presented with any M:PQ avatars. There were a few people who signed up with real accounts so I just guessed who they were based on the perceived ethnicity of their photo / name.

I dont know how to get the shorter URL but that will work. I hate FB and dont have a real one but I have been wanting a Dr Doom Avatar. I have added most people in OP but I have noticed some have been removed.

Hi, I would like to login again and accept all the FacebookGAF invitations, but I forgot my (obviously wrong?) date of birth. Could someone stalk my profile and check out my personal details? That would be great.

Went ahead and added a few of you. I will wait for you to accept before I request anymore, FB loves to throw people in FB jail if you have too many unanswered friend requests. Feel free to add me, I will accept you all.
