unwanted friend

User 'chuck norris'' posts are turning up on my page and one of the messages says we are friends. I've not added him or even received a request. How did this happen? I have tried to block him but posts are still turning up. I am a little concerned about this.

No offence like chuck but I've heard all the gags before and it's more about the principle.p

Edit : he has two posts whose content keeps changing to another Norris gag. Can these comments be removed?

His page is http://my.opera.com/cnorris/about/

lol, indeed. His messages are prefaced with 'whenever chuck wants'. It's such a crap meme, though. It's strange that we cant hide or delete stuff on our home page, especially if people like chuck can roundhouse kick their way on there uninvited.

It does put me off uploading photos or such like, though if these hacks are possible.

It is clear that this Chuck Norris is an Opera Employee, as it says he's been added as a friend even though he doesn't appear in the Friends List. He is also able to appear in the Home Page messages when he's not in the friends list. This appears to be an April Fools Joke, but it should refer to it somewhere if it's a legitimate Opera April Fools Joke. If not it is purely a load on valuable Opera Server resources which appear to be stretched at the moment anyway. Will someone at Opera please kindly remove him from the home page messages and probably from the whole system too!!? doh doh

Correcting myself... "Chuck" is NOT funny.
It is childish, stupid and annoying.
Someone shoot him down, please.

That cnorris username was not created just for the occasion (there was a post about him last year sometime), but yes I'm sure it's being used for an April Fool's joke.

I was 'fooled' at first (as my rather bemused op attests) but only because Myopera's April Fool's joke is to make me think that some uninvited stranger is spamming up my home page by way of ... erm ... getting some uninvited stranger to spam up my home page.confused

LOL p

I wouldn't post and tell Chuck that he's an unwanted friend. I heard the last guy that tried and blocked him was roundhoused six decades into the past.

Yes, well, Chuck is kindly letting me post these messages from 1950 (on his 4th gen - flash enabling - i pad, funnily enough).

Same here - funny thing is, he did not appear on my friends list! I went onto his web page and blocked him - he hasn't returned since.

Chuck befriends whoever he wants and shows up exactly where he wants to.
