OK so I just got an email saying that "Boytoy Playtime" added my picture as a fav.... it was a picture of mine from the end of March, of one of my close female friends. Weird. Checked out their profile, and was greeted with grotesque and explicit pictures of... well... a male's ummm... well, you get the idea. I am shocked! And disgusted! I can't believe that sort of image would be uploaded to this site.
@scrivna please PLEASe delete this account immediately! It is @nastygee
Is there anything that can be done to stop this happening again?!
well we could kill all pervs, I guess that would sort it. Or castrate all men....but its a bit extreme, maybe we should just nip it in the bud when it comes up infrequently.
I am very sad that Lisa has gone :( I'm sure lots of people are! She only started a couple of months ago and has been an amazing new person on the site and takes beautiful creative pictures.... but I don't think she will come back.
She called me as soon as I posted it and was [quite rightly] disgusted. Her point was that because the site is public anyone can see and download these pictures.... and we have no idea what people might be doing with them. Till now she had been naïve about this, assuming that people are decent and y'know, normal (which of course the vast majority are)... but it takes one thing like this to make you question that assumption.
I can see her point, but it is such a massive shame to entirely delete an entire presence on this site. Hopefully the account will get deleted really soon.
Tell her she's daft. Rude graffiti, dog dirt on the floor, crazy people on the bus, chavs swearing, dirty pics on magazine covers...everyday we automatically turn a blind eye to stuff we don't wanna acknowledge, the internets the same. Whoever thought the internet was a village church full of good things was wrong, it's all on here. But you take the rough with the smooth. You don't emigrate when you hear a chav saying something horrible or see some drunks fighting in the city at night. Its took Ross what, half an hour to delete the guy - that's as safe as we're gonna get on the internet I reckon. Tell her she's daft.
@chewyteeth I see your point Dave. I won't be deleting my account. But Lisa's pictures belong to Lisa and she is a very close friend of mine so I respect whatever decision she makes.
Well its a different matter with this Karuna girl here - she's 14, if my daughter (if I had one) saw that picture I'd go Liam Neeson and find the MF, but I guess that's sad and annoying. But Lisa's an adult, thats life. Its a damn shame that she was getting into her photographing. I hope she finds somewhere else to post pics, like flickr for instance, hint.
@wrighty LOL, I was thinking the same thing about telling people not to look.
I almost looked, then thought of the psych studies, then almost looked, then read that Ross took down the account, then thought about the studies again, then laughed :D
Public is public. Someone can be taking pictures of you and your kids at the pool with their phones, and do whatever they want with them. It's a creepy thought but you can't live life too afraid of the unstable ones.
to make a statement like dont look, is rather like telling a two year old not to eat the marshmallow sitting on the table in front of him... you also just gave this arsehole the reaction he wanted.. not worth it..
Every summer we get dicks like this , young kids bored at home playing games with people..... Next time it happens I would just quietly email Ross and let him deal with it, only way to deal with idiots like that is to ignore them. as for your friend, I understand she has her reasons and it within her right to leave at any time, but a bit of over kill to react this way.. again giving this dick the reaction he wanted..
Aww - tell Lisa I was creeped out too especially as he faced my photo of my daughter (obviously he wasn't faving me) and that made my skin crawl. But I've been flashed at (at Lisa's aga) which was pretty pathetic and actually quite funny and she and my daughter were perfect decently dressed so they weren't doing anything they wouldn't do in public anyway. So I've reluctantly put him in the same bracket as a flasher - inadequate guy with a problem. Lisa on the other hand is one of my favourite followees so I hope when she's got over feeling a bit sick she might come back to us. Xx
I don't know how bad the spam photo(s) was but I am totally shocked Lisa left and deleted her acoount! She was such an inspiration to me and I loved her photos and way of her looking at things! Still all the best to her! I will definitly miss you here Lisa!
Okay, I decided to just let people know why I reacted the way I reacted.
I didn't look at the, apparently disgusting, photo but suddenly realised that someone like that guy might download pictures of myself/friends/family and do stuff that I don't want to happen to any of my pictures (and in fact to no one's pictures).
I wanted to delete only those pics that were people but for some reason the system was on strike and didn't let me - so I decided to delete my account as it hadn't let me delete some that were not myself and I thus felt responsible for the other person's privacy.
Some might call me naive for not really thinking about that stuff like that can happen before. I think it is like this: you know it happens somewhere but when it suddenly comes close enough to touch you, it becomes reality. Like you said, Judith. I made me feel really, really sick.
I have calmed down and will probably start posting again and re-upload those pics that are not people.
Thank you so much for your lovely and encouraging words about my presence here!
@traeumerlein hi, glad you're feeling better, yeah just post what you're happy with sharing (with anyone!). look forward to seeing some new (and old) pics!
Any photo that is posted to 365 can be downloaded by anyone that wants to and be used in any way they want to use it. Just a fact of life. Not nice but true.
Glad you're coming back as we'd miss you!! Sadly it's good to always double think about what you're posting - my daughter said 'This is what happens when you post your kids.'. I pointed out that she's 18 in 2 weeks - he comes under the creep label but luckily not paedohile
it's silly to react over a porno pic. at the end of the day there are million of images on the web and anything you put is in the public domain. if you dont want it lifted dont post it, its that simple, so maybe review the pictures you post if you are that concerned, but welcome back.
i think on the scale of things tho posting pics of your kids is the worst as you're feeding pedos like judith says above

@chewyteeth Thanks for the light side, lol, gotta go feeling queasy.
wha?
He'll get kicked off whoever it is, it's not necessary to leave. Have you actually left? wha?
Hey lets get Lisa back maybe

@traeumerlein87 Don't go on one jerk's account... Most people here are really wonderful...

@judithg I agree with the think twice. Fortunately, she is not a little girl anymore.
