I also don't like seeing ridiculous nicknames being used as real names. Sure, shorten names but who really would name their child Buttface?

Groups/Fan Pages are far better - and are made specially for - this sort for thing. “It’s a fairly innocent mistake.” – yeah, and hardly earth shattering either, I’d just rather people used tools properly.

I didn't hear anything! I noticed the other day that the Chris Moyles show (http://www.facebook.com/thechrismoylesshow?ref=s) facebook page had almost 200,000 fans. Surely the only mistake that Ouch made was to create a profile page instead of a group. It's a fairly innocent mistake. White noise? I didn’t hear anything!

Thanks for this. Part of my job involves encouraging and sometimes policing teams who wish to develop propositions using non bbc sites in this way. You're right this not only breaks Facebook's terms of conditions but also the internal guidance (we should be publishing this soon) we use to help teams work in this way. mmmm. Facebook groups and apps (and the BBC uses these as well) would work a lot better here. There's clearly no intention to deceive here but its certainly a bit clumsy and not ideal. I'll go back to bbc.co.uk towers and see what i can do. Thanks for being nice about backstage and the nod for Britain in Pictures. Hi Jon. Thanks for this.
