From the “Do As I Say, Not As I Do” department comes news that ezboard, Inc. staff are impersonating their customers by sending out messages apparently from community administrators:
“From: {board Admin}
To: {user}{boardname}Â has moved to Yuku!
Please check it out here!
This was a community message from {board Admin} on {boardname}.
{board Admin’s signature}”
Now I can understand it if the Board Admins. themselves want to send out a global announcement to their members, but this was not one of those messages. As the aggrieved board admin. writes:
“I don’t like being impersonated, even if the reason is benign”
Of course, a quick look at the Yuku ToU shows that impersonating another Yuku user (or indeed another person) is forbidden.
So ezboard, Inc. are impersonating a Yuku user by sending out these faked messages and as we’ve already seen, they also pretended to be celebrities by setting up Yuku profiles in a pathetic attempt to attract traffic to their display ads.
What a nice bunch of people.
