So recently I've noticed quite a number of anonymous accounts pop up on Twitter, interacting with Go North East. From what I have seen, they all seem to be run by the same person, and tagging MG and GNE in just about everything they post. Not only that, they're basically impersonating GNE by naming their accounts after their services and including GNE in their handles.
Last night, it looked like MG had enough and basically told them to change their names and to stop spamming. To be honest, he handled it far better than I would have, my response probably would have involved some foul language!
These sort of actions seem to be getting out of hand again, in the last week a number of Facebook group admins (including myself) have had to deal with someone signing up on multiple Facebook groups with fake throwaway accounts just to post homophobic remarks about someone, not only is it annoying for the person targeted but it's a pain for us having to deal with it and I don't know what happens if so many posts are reported to admins but I fear if it gets so out of hand then some Facebook groups may get Zucked (taken down).
