We continue to thank our readers for your posts on EYE but take the opportunity to remind you that there must be no ‘passing off’ in the ‘handles’ that you use.
Our terms do say that users should register a unique user ID and password. A small handful of users have occasionally given themselves ‘handles’ very similar to other posters – for example, by adding a number or a different number, or a few letters, to an existing user name.
We will from now on be disabling accounts that we believe infringe these rules.
If you have been breaking the no-passing-off rule please do not post comments under that name in the future. Instead, create a new account with a unique user name and use that instead.
In common with most sites, posters on EYE are welcome to use their own names or the ‘handles’ of their choice.
Again we do thank the huge majority of our readers for your posts, which are often insightful, witty observations which add to our stories – and have helped make our site what it is.

So what everyone is claiming is about this http://freefiregen.net/
Would help if someone told Trump to stop passing off.
I meant wouldn’t.
He’s quite happy posting his tripe under his own name…
Apparently imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. In that case, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE will someone ‘pass me off’!
Mate – you’re unique.
Ain’t NO-one could pass off as ‘Paulfromromsey78…88…666… any chuffin’ number for that matter.
You command sui generis status.
;o)
As opposed to Cyber Duck who seems to p*ss everyone off.
I knew it PeeBee. I’ve always been called a bit special!
You’re in the company of others.
I’m unique also. Said it many times here on EYE in past.
Not like anyone would want to be me anyways…
…apart from the dozen or so namesakes I’ve collected over the years, that is.
But I’ve never cwied and cwied about them. That must make me uniquer than the individual that saw the need to ask Frau Renshaw to have a word with everyone in the playground and not upset the poor wee thing.
Anyway – I’ve got stuff to do. Better quack on.
I meant crack on.
Bl00dy autocorrect…
I’ll say one thing and one thing only to the poor ‘injured parties’
AWWWWW… DIDDUMS!
Am I the only one to see the delicious irony of “passing off” of anonymous “handles”.
I mean – just supposing someone started posting as smile_please – that would could cause irreparable damage to whoever is the real smile please.
It’s been done, I actually took it as a compliment as opposed to getting offended.
A number of us (myself included) have had this issue in the past.
Never really bothered me or others from what I understand.
I am guessing two of the more toxic posters from the community as usual have got upset and complained because of their ‘parady’ accounts.
They can dish it out but cannot take it seems to be a theme that follows them.
No idea who posting as them but was very funny!
”I’m Brian and so’s my wife”
No, I’m Brian. 😉
Erm… Have I missed something?
What happened to Spartacus?
WHAAAAAT?? Please tell me you are joking…
He’s not Brian, he’s a very naughty boy.
Is that Brian from the Property Peoples Front of Judea…or the Judean Peoples Property Front…
Not sure but he’s a wobber and a wapist……..oh and a pickpocket
At least he is not passing himself off as the Messiah.
I should know what the one true messiah is, I’ve followed a few.
You’re only making it worse for yourself!
No blackmail.
Aw, you all got the good stuff before I could! Oh well….
