Over the past week we've seen a noticeable uptick in men joining, following dozens of accounts with female avatars, and then messaging them directly.

Some appear to be real people, some are fake accounts with stolen identities.

Either way, this is stalking and harassing behaviour, and we have zero tolerance for it.

For those affected by accounts we fail to catch, please report them. We _will_ take action, and you'll help keep the community safe and welcoming for all.

Diolch.

@jaz I wish Facebook did this. I’m on there because my family and friends are but, I received comments by two people to my posts. Both asking me to friend them, both military and here’s the kick… almost to the word identical messages! Both had no followers and only like 4 or 5 post which were only army photos. All this yet Facebook says they found no issues with the accounts smh.

@Mellee @jaz I have my account locked up and nobody can comment on my posts. I get the requests for messaging. Block!

@jaz @pburke46 that’s a good idea. How do you do that?

@Mellee @jaz I can't tell you exactly but if you go to your settings, look under privacy.
Sorry I don't remember the specifics but if you poke around long enough, you'll get it.
