Can't someone kick out all the stupid bastards...

[Runica]

... who thinks it is funny to enter the female section only to ridicule and make fun of the ladies here? Some of the things they say and do are more than inappropriate, and could quite possibly ruin a person's self-esteem! How on earth can one be honest if there always are a pack of idiots here just waiting for a fun picture to make fun of?! When my avatar was made fun of in the male section (they copied my pic and posted modified versions of it) and posted truly inappropriate comments about me, I negged them, reported the posts plus I wrote to the moderators AND to the support. I didn't even get an answer! Nothing happened! What is going on here, have the moderators given up or what's the deal???

i suppose the main problem in dealing with the "trolls" is that as soon as you block or delete one account they will just make another, they need a better system really but i dont have any ideas lol.

In my country it is illegal to post pictures of people without their approval, how is it in the US and Canada? Is this behaviour actually illegal?

In the US it is illegal to use a Copyrighted picture. however, your picture looks like it was a candid shot of you that you had a friend take (not professional) and probably not copyrighted.

Also, please think about what you post in the future.
A) using that word in your title is inappropriate.

and

B) What you put out on an the internet in a forum such as this is subject to the opinions, teasing, inappropriatness of others. If you dont want it used, then dont post it. You put it out there and yes it was "not cool" of them to use your pic, the bottom line is you put it out there for others to see. If you dont want peoples opinion, then dont start posts asking for them. (not saying you did but i see a lot of posts that are not happy with the answer and then proceed to bash everyone)
You have to learn that those people who did whatever to your pic should not have any bearing on your self esteem. Why do they matter that much anyways??
Someone once posted that i looked ugly in my beginning pic. It didnt ruin my self esteem just because some guy didnt find my pic attractive.


And unless you copyrighted your photo and have proof of such, I dont think much can be done about the use of your photo.

Ok, perhaps I was a bit rude in the title of this thread, I'm sorry if that offended anyone. I was just angry... and no, not about what they did with my pic, that was three weeks ago and I'm more or less over it. I was more upset about what is said about other people here, today.

I am definitely not talking about situations where a person asks for an opinion and gets an answer he/she didn't want or like. I'm talking about harrassment, pure and simple. And by the way, it is said in the forum rules that it is NOT allowed to modify other people's pictures. I understand your point of view, definitely. But do you really think that it is fair that an entire thread was created in another part of the forum just to ridicule a picture that MafiaPrincess put in here in a thread, probably thinking that she could get some constructive criticism? And when it comes my my own case, they drew a huge dick in my avatar, with cum all over my chest. They thought it was real funny. That's not a case of them giving their opinion, it's just harrassment!

But hey, then I guess that I'll remove all of my pictures from here, if the general opinion is that everyone posting pictures agree to being bullied. I want no part of it. Consider me withdrawn from the forums. Bye bye.

Abuse of bodyspace images is against forum rules....
But reports were out of order for a few days & are back now. Perhaps why it wasn't seen to.
If you link me to the posts I can deal with it now.

Sorry for raising it here but my private messages don't seem to show sent items so I can't tell if it has gone through or not.

Would you be able to tell me if you received it or not?




@ OP, it sucks, but unfortunately it's how it is.

All you can really do is content yourself with the fact that they have major insecurity issues, or don't post up pics.

[Elavaanil]

how the **** do you expect someone to be negged if your rep power is 2

faile

just want to say that from my experience on here, reports get taken care of within a day... you can always message a mod too (not sure if its helpful for a mod or not LOL but that's what I've done)

also want to add, just in case it'd be helpful to anyone, that you don't necessarily need copyright to remove pictures or w/e off sites. I've had a lot of experience in this, unfortunately... but I'd say about 90% of the sites I contacted removed content after giving them legit proof. the sites that didn't remove them were a few foreign ones or ones that were practically dead...
