Q: You all are too easy to find on other social networks. Please change your screen names.

Come on. Over half of you use the same screen names for your Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts (ScotsAlan and philbravery, for example). Honestly. Please be careful, friends. Someone could use that information for unkind purposes. I have found most of either your Facebook profiles or YouTube or Twitter accounts just by plugging in your screen names after the .com/ , or else just googling them.

And you should add that most people use the exact same passwords for all their accounts as well. Crack one, access all.

This is how people get screwed over BIG time.

Too true Sino. That's why I have no passwords that connect to online banking. I don't do anything online with money after coming to China.

And, other times it serves for consistency. I have nothing to hide, other than to keep my wife and children safe from psychopaths (hence no personally identifying information).

Yours is a valid warning, however.

wolfhighmist:

In all seriousness, the only picture I see on your Facebook is a picture of, presumably, your wife, dated Jan. 31, 2011. You might want to adjust the privacy settings.

I have never had facebook or twitter and would never post a real photo in an online profile.

 

One of my colleagues googled, binged and baidued my real name recently and found nothing.

I use this moniker on two other expat websites. Search and Ye shall find. It's come in useful as I got to know one of the guys in hangzhou and we now meet up for a beer when in each other's cities. 

 

You wont find any links to my FB through it either....

 

Anyway.....who are you? Not so secret service checking up on people? Smile

iWolf:

Because using facebook means you have a vpn and that would be wrong. And no one here would do that.

Scandinavian:

Using a VPN means you have a life outside of China and that you care about things like food safety and politics. It is not against Chinese law to use a VPN.

I have nothing to hide. I can easily be traced from here to a well known photo site, and from there to my facebook.

But being a level headed madman, I feel no desire to "flesh search" anyone. If I want to chat more to a contributer on here I send a pm with my wechat details.

After all, the right wingers say "If you have nothing to hide, you have no need to fear the surveilance powers we want".

You can post my real name on here for all I care. I won't even report you for contravening the T&Cs of this site.

Hey, I might even get a few more FB friends out of it.

Hell I would even add you if you sent me a request.

I think admin just doesn't care to be honest. I doubt they have anything to do with these trolls.

 

They just don't log on much.

 

Seems like trolling will reach a crescendo, then admin will login for a couple days clear out the riff raff accounts and then it'll start building up.

 

They'll be one day where all these accounts will be gone, cycle will renew

A:Good question!  I'd say, if you study at Uni in China beside working full-time as an E.T. with Residence permit, you don't interfere with your full-time employment.It's your free time and you can do anything you want, with respect to the Chinese laws and customs. Have a look at terms of Z visa/Residence permit and ... ".. you cannot work (and earn monies!) with another employer ..."That's all it is! Your RP sponsor title is written on the RP stamp in your passport, I think. It's in Mandarin, so I've heard about that from someone ...At I.D.-ing by cops, they know where you work and than more details about you are just a phone call away ... and it happened in person ... LOL ... during the day-time stroll through Wulumuqi, Xinjiang, 2012/13 semester. Now under RP, you're free to surf Internet, jog, ... and study, too. I suggest, you look and ask at the Uni, you plan to study in the future. Have a detailed look at requirements for studying and attending chosen Uni.Good luck! -- icnif77
