Attention: If you joined through FACEBOOK . . .

People who joined HTF through Facebook should have this following message at the top of their profile page (unless they've already made a selection):
 

Quote:

Enable email or go to your profile and enter your email address

Please take a moment to check your profile and either "enable" email (follow the link in your profile) or enter a separate email address. Rule 2 of the HTF Rules provides as follows:

Quote:
 2. Valid email. All members must supply a valid email address when they register. Your email address will not be visible to other members, and we will not share it with anyone, but it is essential that we have a reliable method of contacting you. It is each member's responsibility to keep the email address associated with his or her HTF account valid and up to date. If we try to contact a member by email and the email is returned as undeliverable, the account will be suspended until the member contacts us. 

We have recently discovered that many people joining through Facebook are not even enabling email, which means that Facebook will not deliver emails sent to the Facebook proxy server. This makes those members effectively unreachable and, under Rule 2, requires their suspension. So please take a moment to bring yourself into compliance with Rule 2 so that we don't have to suspend any accounts. Thank you!

(We're currently working on a tighter form of integration so that there's less chance that people joining through Facebook will overlook this step. Stay tuned.)

Michael is there a way to see if someone is a Facebook User versus a 'native'?

On one hand I suspect a lot of the spammers I've been reporting have been coming in via Facebook.

On the other I don't suppose we want these FBers being treated like second class citizens.

I'm probably more involved in the day-to-day removal of spammers than anyone at HTF, and I cannot recall a single one arriving via Facebook. So your suspicions are unfounded.

And yes, at the administrative level, Huddler and the owners know by what route people arrive here, because it's part of their business to know that. It's also part of their business to make sure that information remains secure and unshared.

Thanks, hadn't realised, rectified on my account.

While we're on the subject of facebook-linked accounts, I read the faq on changing my profile pic/avatar image, but I have no "replace image" button underneath my picture in my profile page. Is it true that I can't have a different profile pic here unless I change my facebook picture or perhaps unlink my accounts (I hope that's possible).

P.S Tarantino has finally bested Pulp Fiction.
