在两个礼拜前，Facebook限制了一些日本活跃用户登录网站，因为他们的名字听起来不像日本人，除非用户提供真实姓名和护照等身份证件的扫描资料，Facebook才会对他们放行。

这让早期的Facebook用户很震惊，他们当中有很多人还是习惯使用昵称和非照片头像（如插图，或物体等）。

日前，ITMedia和CNET Japan两家媒体就此问题咨询了Facebook在日本的市场营销代理机构Billcom公司，通过Billcom的途径获得了Facebook对此事的回复。Facebook总部承认了这一大规模的禁令，并表示说这些用户之所以被限制登录，是因为他们操作不当，其中原因之一就是使用非真实姓名注册。Facebook对ITMedia的答复是，Facebook不会通过人工操作手段，限制用户登录（Facebook系统会自动监测并限制用户登录）。但据游戏邦了解，Facebook对CNET Japan的解释则是另一种口径，Facebook无法通过系统或者人工操作发现用户是否使用虚假姓名。

几天后，被限制登录的帐号又以更像日本人名的新名字重新在Facebook上复活了，他们中有一些人在博客中表示，他们并没有向系统发送可证明自己身份的相关资料。由此看来，Facebook的制裁手段其实并不像他们在帐号激活申请表格中的措辞那样严厉。

如此一来，有些人可能会想，“没有如实填写表格的用户，是不是也可以重新激活帐号？Facebook怎么会知道新的名字就是真实姓名呢？”

FACEBOOK-JAPAN-COVER

一个自称“俄裔日本人”用户的恶搞

游戏邦获悉，最近日本有一个颇具人气的博客主及独立安全骇客Hamachiya2，发表了一篇名为“智取Facebook帐号小窍门”的帖子。Hamachiya2也一度被Facebook限制登录（但他并未表示此事发生在什么时候，或者之前是否发生过类似情况）。

他在该贴子中分享了他取回帐号的操作方法：

首先在申请表格上，你得填上自己的真实姓名“Hamachiya  Hamachi-”（当然是以日文形式），接着你就会得到一个日语的回复，大意是：

Facebook的“个人资料”是为个人用户服务的，而不是为公司或者机构服务。我们知道这和您申请的内容没有关系，我们暂停您的帐号是因为您违法了Facebook的使用条款。

Hamachiya接着就向Facebook发送了第二条信息：

致Facebook团队全体成员，我的个人资料只有我个人在使用。希望您能理解。

Facebook这次的回复比较长，还具体说明了什么是真实的名字，什么不是真实的名字。

* 不要使用一个假名字

* 不要使用首字母缩写

* 您只能使用真实姓名昵称的变体。例如，用“鲍勃”代替“罗伯特”

* 您的名字只能使用一种语言（统一使用字母）

* 您的个人资料上只能出现一种个人信息，不能出现两个名字

* 资料上不要出现您的职业头衔或者教名

* 不要出现前缀、标志，以及不必要的大写字母和标点符号

* 禁止冒用他人和组织的名称。

用日文解释“鲍勃”和“罗伯特”令人有些无语，当然日语中没有“罗伯特”，日本用户并不在乎它能不能和“鲍勃”替换。他们并没有告诉用户有哪些日文昵称是合理的。

下面就是Hamachiya的回复（游戏邦注：回复是按照日文礼貌性的表达方式，在此仅摘录其中重要内容）。

我相信你们可能有所误会，所以我再次和你们联系。

如果你们因为我的名字不像真实名字而限制了我的帐号，那真是一场误会。

我现在住在日本，当然说日语。但是，我是一个俄裔日本人，所以我的名字在日本可能很少见。这可能就是为什么你们会认为我使用的并非真名的原因。

“Hamachiya Hamachi-”（日语的平假名）真实的拼法是“Hamachiya Hamachie”，但因为我的大多数Facebook好友都是日本人，所以我就用平假名拼写。

请您慎重对待这一棘手问题。

再次表示感谢。

这是Facebook给予的最后回复，

亲爱的Hamachiya先生，

请原谅我们所犯的错误，我们为给您造成的不便深表歉意。

我们无意中限制了您的账号。

现在已经重新激活了，您可以再次登录了。

Hamachiya在帖子的结尾写道，“被误解的时候，你得解释清楚”，“诚实是最好的策略！”

据游戏邦了解，这个帖子在Hatena Bookmark迅速被1000多网民标注为书签，“俄裔日本人”一词也因此迅速在日本网络上窜红。

但Hamachiya最近又再次发表博客指出，他的另一个帐号又被Facebook封掉了，至于这是否是因为Facebook发现他并非俄裔日本人，就无人知晓了；也有人猜测Facebook可能已经发现他在说谎，或者因为其他理由将其拒之门外。

Facebook提出发送“身份证明文件的副本”的这种要求，引起了很多日本用户的不满。但从Facebook破例为各种用户激活帐号的过程中可以看出，这个策略其实根本就是无效的。他们并没有测验用户的真实身份，而是向强烈抗议的用户道歉，然后重新激活他们的帐号。由于越来越多的日本用户知道实名制不过是个“耐心解释”的制度，他们就开始编造越来越多的理由要求激活帐号，但“俄裔日本人”这种借口似乎不太行得通了。（本文为游戏邦/gamerboom.com编译，转载请注明来源：游戏邦）

“I’m A Russian-Japanese.” – Facebook Beset On Japanese Nickname Judgement

On February 8th, about two weeks ago, Facebook suspended quite a few numbers of Japanese active users who had names which do not sound like Japanese. They asked for the users their real name and copy of ID like passport.

It shocked Japanese early adopters who were tasting Facebook backed by media boom, as many of them were used to use nick name and non-photo icons (e.g. illustrations, still objects, etc.).

ITMedia [J] and CNET Japan [J], who inquired Billcom, a local company who helped Facebook marketing in Japan, got replies indirectly from Facebook via Bilcom. According to them, Facebook HQ recognizes the massive banning, and said that those users were stopped because of inappropriate use, which can include registration by non-real name. To ITMedia, the reply said that Facebook won’t suspend user manually (it is done automatically by system). To CNET Japan, they answered that they could not tell whether Facebook find the pseudo name by system or by human.

Days later, some banned users came back to Facebook with new names which sound like a native Japanese name. However, some of them reported on their blog that they did not send a copy of ID. So Facebook’s crackdown might not be so harsh as it was seen on their reactivation request form.

Then, it is possible for some people to rethink, “If they resume IDs without authentic papers, how can they know the new name is real name?”

I’m a Russian Japanese
On 17th, a popular blogger/independent security hacker Hamachiya2, who was locked out from Facebook at some point (he did not mention it was the same timing or it happened before), posted a new blog which title is “An easy way to get back your Facebook account” [J].

On the article, he explained what he did to get back his account.

First, on the request form, you need to type your real name “Hamachiya Hamachi-” (in Japanese, of course). Then you get a reply in Japanese, which means,

The Facebook “profile” is for individual networking, not for company or organization. We understand that this is not on the issue you requested (Akky: what?), we suspended your account because you violated the Facebook’s term of usage.

Hamachiya’s second message,

To Facebook Team,

I am using it as an individual profile.

Thanks in advance

Facbook’s reply was longer this time, with what are real names and what are not with examples.

You may not use a fake name.

You may not use initials.

You may only use a nickname if it is a variation of your real name. For example, “Bob” instead of “Robert”.

Your name needs to be in single language(letter set).

You may only set a single person on profile. You cannot put two names in it.

You may not include your title from your occupations or religious.

No Title, no symbols, no unnecessary capital letter and punctuations
It is forbidden to pretend other persons and organizations.

“Bob” and “Robert” explained in Japanese seems pretty dumb for me. Of course there are no Japanese “Robert”, Japanese do not care how it can be replaced with “Bob”. They do not show what kind of Japanese nickname is possible from their real name.

His reply again, (I don’t translate word-by-word. it is long in polite Japanese writing manner, which means inserting a lot of decent and garbage-ish phrases)

I am afraid that you might misunderstand, so I am contacting you again.

If you suspended my account because my name did not seem a real name, that is the misunderstanding.

I am living in Japan now, and of course speak Japanese. However, I am a Russian-Japanese, so my name could be very rare in Japan. That may be the reason you thought that my name was a fake name.

The right spelling of “Hamachiya Hamachi-”(in Japanese hiragana) is “Hamachiya Hamachie”, but it was because most of my friends on Facebook are Japanese, I spelled it in Japanese for them.

Thank you for your consideration on those touchy issue.

Thank you in advance.

The last reply from Facebook,

Dear Mr. Hamachiya,

Our sincere apologies for the error and any inconvenience this has caused you.

Your account was suspended by mistake.

We resumed the account so you should be able to log in.

Hamachiya finished the post with “You should tell them when you are misunderstood.”, “Honesty is the best policy!”

The post quickly got over 1,000 bookmarks on Hatena Bookmark, which may match with 3,000 Digg (just my impression). As a result of it, “Russian-Japanese” were buzzed on Japanese web.

I did not know that he is a Russian-Japanese, and Russian has such names, but anyway, he tweeted that he had got another account suspension by Facebook now. It is unknown if Facebook could get the information that Hamachiya is not a Russian-Japanese, which I suspect they could, or found another reason to lock him out.

Facebook bluffed Japanese people by using “copy of ID” request, pretended that they could force users to submit official certifications, which not many users are pleased with in Japan (I don’t know other countries). But it fails when they bent the rule from person to person. They did not check the corrected ID, just apologized and resume account on whom protest strongly. As more Japanese know that the real-name policy is just a “good to follow” rule, they will be making more possible reasons but the “Russian-Japanese” line may not be so safe.（Source：asiajin）
