If someone said not to use your real name, they were probably just trying to keep you safe, but it isn't a rule on WikiAnswers that you can't use your real name... that is okay with us.
As with everything online, it is wise to limit the personal information that you share with people so that stalkers or predators can't find you.
Yes, that does seem unfair.
You don't need Facebook . . . if you already have an Answers.com account. The skinny is that a new contributor who has not previously signed up, finds, when he attempts to sign up for an account with WikiAnswers, that WikiAnswers gives him only one mechanism for signing up. That mechanism is to use Facebook's signup mechanism. Create a new account on your computer, use a different browser, or try incognito mode in Google Chrome, when not already in incognito mode. Then try to sign In to Answers.com. You will have only two choices: Sign in with your already existing Answers.com account, or sign in with Facebook. There is no option for creating an Answers,com membership from scratch. If you don't have a "grandfathered" Answers.com membership, your only option is to sign in with Facebook. And to do so, you must either have, or must create, a Facebook account.
Without clarifying what you are joining, it is not clear whether or not you need a Facebook account to do so. For example, you do not need a Facebook account to join in a game of baseball, you just show up and ask the people there. However, you need a Facebook account to join WikiAnswers.
Fake Facebook accounts can be found on Facebook itself. There are many websites on the internet which will tell you how to detect a fake facebook account. There are even a few that will teach people how to create such accounts.
You aren't required to have a Facebook account to log in to Wiki Answers, but it is one method of signing in. If you wanted to, you could make your own separate account on this website, or not sign in at all.
Yes. Get a Facebook account and add Facebook friends there, You can have both a Myspace and a Facebook account.
there is over 500.000.000. million of people that have a facebook account
Unfortunately, no. I have however made a site suggestion that a "friend" system is implemented. If we're lucky, it'll get added to the site.
Facebook can only connect people who join facebook. If you do not have a facebook account, no one can "have" you on facebook.
There are many people that do not have a Facebook account.
Facebook is a Social Networking website that allows you to connect with friends all over the world (if they have an account). You must be 13 years or older to have a facebook. People cheat the system and fake their age, but I advise you to be the correct age to create an account.
Brands can have account on WikiAnswers. Anyone can have an account on WikiAnswers. You cannot use WikiAnswers for spam; it is to be used to only to answer questions for people or ask questions that people may want to know.
