So here’s a fun fact…<\/p>\n
Facebook will basically let you add any email address to your account whether you own it or not. \u00a0There’s apparently no verification system. \u00a0Just… type in an email address and BAM you can start having all of your facebook emails sent to that address.<\/p>\n
Since June, I have been getting HUNDREDS of emails a week from Facebook from this girl, who’s real first name is Annakie.<\/p>\n
Four or five times I tried to message her to ask her nicely to please remove my email address. She ignored me. \u00a0I then tried seeing if I could force a change by changing her password, but no, she locked down her security by needing a phone number or identifying some of her 500+ friends.<\/p>\n
I sent in multiple help requests to Facebook that also went ignored.<\/p>\n
I ended up just blocking everything from @facebook on that email address. \u00a0Which means I also had to change my primary Facebook email address. \u00a0This morning she finally, after over five months, replied to me and says she has no idea what I’m talking about because that’s her email address and she just misplaced the password. \u00a0I’ve told her five times now what’s wrong, as plainly and simply as I could, and that I’ve owned that email address for like, thirteen years, so no, she didn’t just lose the password. \u00a0She kept saying she didn’t understand.<\/p>\n
I finally realized that although she posts in English on her facebook wall, she’s from another country and so I used google translate to send her the same message in what I would assume is her\u00a0native\u00a0language based upon the most widely used language in that country.<\/p>\n
The whole thing is just… crappy and I just can’t believe that Facebook would allow this to happen and not give me ANY recourse to fix it. \u00a0She’s getting annoyed with me and I’m annoyed with her. I even took screenshots with arrows and instructions on what she needs to do. \u00a0She hasn’t. \u00a0She probably won’t.<\/p>\n
Sorry, (not sorry<\/em>) rapper who goes by Annakie from\u00a0Jamaica, David “Squeeze” Annakie, girl on Twitter who is using Annakiee and regularly has tweets mis-directed at me, and all other people who’s name actually is Annakie. \u00a0I didn’t know it was an actual name when I started using it in 1997, fifteen<\/em> years ago. (I can prove I was using it as early as May of 1997.) \u00a0 I (obviously) own and very regularly use this domain name. \u00a0I’ve owned it for like seven years. \u00a0It’s never been a problem until this year. \u00a0I’m Annakie on almost every major website out there (I’ve missed a few, like pintrest, xbox live, \u00a0Origin somehow, and one or two other places I wanted it but… meh, whatever.) \u00a0I’m not changing it now or anytime soon.<\/p>\n I’m not trying to be rude, but I have hundreds of online friends who know me as Annakie. \u00a0Thousands<\/em>\u00a0(tens of thousands?) of people know me in the Mass Effect fandom as Annakie. \u00a0\u00a0If you google Annakie, seven of the top ten results are me or things I’m associated with.<\/p>\n In a time when research wasn’t nearly as easy as it is now, I thought it was a made-up name in a movie that Mystery Science Theater 3000 made fun of, so I adopted it. \u00a0Annakie is a part of who I am, I answer to it almost as readily as my real name. To me, I feel like it’s mine just as much as anyone who was born with the name.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So here’s a fun fact… Facebook will basically let you add any email address to your account whether you own it or not. \u00a0There’s apparently no verification system. \u00a0Just… type in an email address and BAM you can start having all of your facebook emails…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-life-in-general"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/annakie.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/annakie.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/annakie.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/annakie.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/annakie.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=71"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/annakie.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":78,"href":"http:\/\/annakie.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71\/revisions\/78"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/annakie.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=71"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/annakie.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=71"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/annakie.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=71"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
