What's going on with the False/Hoax Pms...


 Firlefanz - a Runboard administrator - is handling the situation, and will be requested to post a topic regarding the hoax "MrEd_45" or "MrEd(space)45" or any other hoax screen names regarding DPFF administration members & the pms and/or emails any DPFF members have received as soon as possible, as I find it...unseemly to post private correspondence in a public venue without the other correspondent's (Firlefanz, in this particular case) let to do so.
 
 Anyone whom has received such pms is encouraged to click the link to the sender's personal information center where I'm fairly positive they'll see that the account was opened in March or April of '08.
 
 As was pointed out by another member of the DPFF regarding themselves, I only have one account, which has been the same since September of '03 as I have absolutely no want nor need to have 'alternative nicks' & no NEED to open a new account in order to conduct ANY forum business whatsoever - something I would've thought that anyone with an iota of a smidgen of common sense would realize all on their own.
 I apologize if I seem to come across so harshly blunt with that last bit, but there it is.

ps- One other way (besides the difference[s] in screen name) to differentiate is the "Member #" that's found at the top of every member's "Personal Information" page:

 Hoax/false info:Welcome to MrEd 45 (#702390)'s public information center

 My actual info: Welcome to MrEd45 (#62904)'s public information center

...obviously, I was the sixty two thousandth, nine hundred and fourth member of Runboard, and any account(s) this troll or trolls have opened will be up in the hundred thousands as far as Runboard member #s go.

Re: What's going on with the False/Hoax Pms...


I just wanted to take the opportunity to jump back in here & request that all DPFF members who've been pm'ed by this troll please restrict any suspicions/speculations they may or may not have regarding the troll's actual identity to some other means of communication(s) rather than anywhere in public on the DPFF. I realize this request may be interpreted by some as a form of 'censorship' or a restriction of 'freedom of speech', but it's not intended that way; I merely feel that the airing of any suspicions and/or speculations would probably not lead to anything constructive and/or positive regarding the situation is all.
 I know, I know - I don't believe anyone has speculated in public as of yet, and I & the rest of the DPFF administration simply prefer it's kept that that way 'til the Runboard administration does their end as far as deleting this troll's accounts and whether the Runboard administrators choose to positively identify the person or persons involved by actual name.
 I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone & anyone who's unfortunately been involved and/or inconvenienced by this situation for their patience, cooperation & understanding.

Re: What's going on with the False/Hoax Pms...


 A quick list of the false/hoax accounts that have been opened the last 2 weeks or so using variations of my screen name:

MrEd_45

Mr_Ed_45

Mr Ed45

MrEd 45

Mr Ed 45

...probably more, too - those are the ones that've been used so far, anyway.

 Just to reiterate: ANY variation of "MrEd45" is a 'mock/false/hoax'
screen name that put quite simply - ain't me.
 Any & all Runboard accounts with ANY variation of "MrEd45", particularly Runboard accounts that have been opened after September of '03 are mock/false/hoax accounts, as I'll gladly reitereate:

I have absolutely no want nor need to have 'alternative nicks' & no NEED whatsoever to open a new Runboard account in order to conduct ANY forum business or correspondence of ANY nature - or ANY 'non-forum' business or correspondence of ANY nature, for that matter.

 Thank you for your kind attention.
