Disturbing

posted August 12th, 2012
I have recieved a comment on my image that has left me feeling quiet disturbed.

Comment as stated by @seeingithowitis "pedophiles love this type of thing. good going."

I am totally horrified!! this is a snap shot a beautiful portrait. This has shaken me so much I am considering leaving.

I would like to ask why is @Scrivna not saying anything on this and the profile still remains intact. http://365project.org/seeingithowitis/profile

@pankaj I'm sure that once Ross sees this thread and is aware of the situation he'll make steps to remove their account. We have to give him a bit of time as it is Sunday here in the UK and he may not know about this yet.

That is a great shot. Just delete the comment and try to forget it.
After my run in with "Karla" I do think 365 needs a block list.

Your photograph of the child is so sweet and innocent, Tracy - ignore the troll. Besides, I think 365 got hacked yesterday as one of the comments to my selfie was some girl wanting to know if I was looking for a date (with a link to her site - lol!) Never a dull moment on 365!

Gross. Clearly people can be barred from the website as a grand appeal from followers could not get Quin @grecian back on. I don't know if the person could have phrased his/her response more tactfully. Or if the person just wanted to create anxiety without commenting on how wonderful your portrait is. Do not let him (why do I assume that?) deprive you of a wonderfully supportive community. There's so much to learn here. And check out @mummarazzii and @fotomama for exquisite photos of children that this person could have targeted. But let Ross know about this.

"Stupid is as stupid does."

I wouldn't worry about one jerk, Tracy. Karma has a way of taking care of them for you.

Morning, just seen this. I have removed the user, don't worry about the actual account as its clearly a joker messing around (judging by the fake details she provided setting up the account). you have to remember that the Internet is the Internet, it's not perfect and if you're worried about sharing pictures of your kids then don't! I'm not one for scaremongering but just be sensible eh.

@Scrivna Thanks Ross.

@Scrivna Hi Ross, do you know what else is disturbing ? To have a follower who doesn't post any pictures only follows certain accounts. I think once somebody creates an account should do it for purpose of posting photos. Otherwise it should get deleted after let's a month ?
Can you check this one out for me and 8 others who are followed by:
darrll ? Thanks.

@bardejov My one sister has created an account and follows several people, even though she doesn't post. The reason is because she does not have a camera as yet - she has been saving for it for some months and it is now on the way, so she will be posting pics soon. In the mean time she loves looking at pictures and gaining knowledge and ideas for when her camera arrives.
She is not the one you have mentioned, but I just thought I'd say that there may be a perfectly innocent reason for following but not posting yet.

@bardejov @victorypuzzle Yes, I've heard of people that sign on to keep up with some family members photos. I myself have gotten comments from some people that seem to have inactive accounts but still look at photos and post comments. They seemed nice, and I'm not going to complain about getting a comment or fave from an otherwise inactive member. :-)

OMG that is so creppy. I would be horrified as well!

Please don't leave. However if you feel that is what you need to do then I support you. Ross removed the user from the site and it is I guess the best he can do right now.
I am so sorry this happened to you as it could have happened to anyone of us. Know that we all love your pictures for what they are: art, the most important thing to remember.

I think it would be a shame to delete people who don't post. I have one follower who doesn't post but wants to look at shots. She has MS and can't physically take photos.
Just keep an eye out for the freaks and delete 'em. Glad he/she has gone. @bardejov
@eyesofbetsie :-)

@danig I agree with Danielle. That individual is following me as well. I suppose one should check bio's (obviously) and look at their favored pictures. It's just going to give a better assessment of the individual prior to any decision. Thanks Aussie D... Sister, I'm with you!

i have some friends who have opened accounts to see my pictures but never post any of their own. one actually follows people all over the world just for the fun of seeing what there is.
