I was a member of a message board for a primetime show. Most people just talked about the story line. BUT there were a few posts from an obvious fake...enter "Mr. Tree". Mr. Tree has this really elaborate backstory and comments about the characters on the show. Enter Mrs. Tree, with HER elaborate background. These two argued with each other in an inane back and forth.
I don't know if they were the same person or two different people engrossed in this game. I just rolled my eyes and went on. I'm sure that there are quite a few believable fakes out there corresponding with "real" people, and that could be dangerous. The internet isn't a reliable social network, although it's not all bad.
