I think their policy/terms of use have always been that you have to use your real info, but I don't know how much they enforced it in years past. FB seems a lot different now than how it was when I had a real account, years ago.

When I put my info on the Friends page here on the Wiki, I got literally hundreds of friend requests from people who don't play DV. I think it's those 'My aunt made $3000 last week...' people and other scammers. Lots of the requests came from Africa, Russia, or were in Arabic, and when accepted, they don't show up in my game (meaning they don't play DV). I made the mistake of automatically accepting the first 60 or so requests (I was so excited to co-op!) and then realized it only added maybe 10 neighbors to my game. Took a closer look at some of the many, many, many other pending requests and realized what was going on. Hardly any of them played DV. Lots of promo/recruiting accounts for Dragon City, too. My info was only up for maybe a day. I'm still getting requests from these people, even after locking up access to my account. Friends of friends can still send requests- that's the highest restriction, so I must have a rat in my neighbors list. Never again will I list my FB info on a forum (I'm not saying anything negative about this Wiki, it's just the nature of FB now, I guess).

So many sites require FB for commenting now, and with the (terrible) loss of GC and the rise social media-based scammers, I think the 'problem' with dummy accts has probably gotten exponentially worse over the past couple years. So, now they delpoy bots to watch for 'suspicious' activity and user names.

Like you said: who wants to put their personal, real info out there? Not me, that's for sure.
