When new people join and introduce themselves

Does your guard immediately go up and you get suspicious they are someone’s alt or a troll?

As soon as I see she’s a young woman who looks like a model from some miscellaneous country who makes 20 different detailed posts about the history of her country along with fascinating tales about her mama and papa and adventures with her glamorous friends…….

Then I know for sure she’s legit.

@sarabee1995 I think so. They was referring to the accounts

@OlderSometimesWiser totally.. notice she appeared as the sicilian left..just wondering.

@sylvsn59 Was wondering the same thing. Doesn’t seem to be any overlap. One goes, the next one pops up. Maintaining two of these accounts at the same time would be a challenge even for the most experienced troll.

No, but i do take notice of how things are worded, their general personality and you can often see the reinventors..
Ive also wondered if new accounts are generated to fill slumps sometimes..

@Jenny1234 They think they can get away with it but something always gives them away if you take notice..

same with what @NativePortlander1970 said. if one is new and chimes in with "hey i'm new here what can i expect" then i'll give them a chance...but if you're new an your first post is a "feel sorry for me" post or a nudie one then i leave those types alone. i remember when i came on here a couple of years ago someone said i was too "new" and didn't trust me until they saw a few more posts...haha...maybe that was you @NativePortlander1970 🤣

@beermeplease That was most likely someone else, You started when I was on my last hiatus.

@NativePortlander1970 i know...i was teasing

Jeephikelove · 51-55, F

Yes!! Especially with their lavish, stolen from Penthouse Forum, believable stories. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀😂

It is difficult to figure out the veterans on SW here ,let alone the craziness of new people.

So yes,definitely.
I have several filters on my account settings.

DeWayfarer · 61-69, M

@scorpiolovedeep that's sort of easy really. If they have a join date or longtime awards hidden there's always their first post date.

The fakes often delete their own posts. So often there's nothing posted.

Gibbon · 70-79, M

I don't know the neighborhood well enough. I depend on the rest of you to call out alt.
A troll? Yes their post or replies give them away.

I'm not allowed to see the new people. I'm part of the SW bad crowd, I guess.

bookerdana · M

@MsSwan The only thing SW got right🤭 enemy of the people

Frostcloud · F

i dont necessarily think they're alts but its raises my suspicions for sure

sarabee1995 · 26-30, F

Well, to be honest, it's rare that my guard ever comes down on here, so someone new definitely hits solid walls when approaching me. I don't give a passing thought to whether they are an alt or a troll or just your every day average freak ... they are new and that's all that matters. 🤷‍♀

TheSirfurryanimalWales · 61-69, M

I’m new…..I’ve got lots of posts about Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😀😅
…
I had a message the other week from someone ‘new’ who liked my profile and wanted to chat.
Zero posts from them and I forget where they claimed to be from.
