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 have a look through the security settings in Facebook, there are all sorts of ways you can stop people you don’t want from commenting. I use my Facebook as a family diary and print it off in January every year into a hard back book for my kids to keep, so I have it set into groups, for different aundiences like American Friend or Private, plus I set it so only friends or friends of friends can see more public posts.

@jaz @sarahejfraser oh I like that. I hadn’t thought of printing pictures to make a book of pictures and events from the year. I’m going to go into the settings but I think I might steal your idea. I love it.
