Taking a stand on privacy

[perks]

I'm calling you out plasticman.


You need to take down that pic you posted of bratcat. It's not your place.

I don't care how many times she's posted it, I don't care if it is her avatar.

You are not her and aren't allowed to post it.

Take it down. Take it down. Take it down.

I can't believe after hearing these rules for so long you thought it would be cute or funny or amusing to betray a privacy.

Your actions totally suck.
I'm not amused. I'm disgusted.

but he LOVES her, Perky.

Perky, my dear, It was gone 10 minutes before you posted this thread, had not someone drawn attention to it in the first place it would have disappeared into obscurity. I appologise to Cat, I didn't realize it would upset her, it was a very attractive picture of her and nothing that hasn't been shown before.

 

[perks]

don't excuse it away. And bullshit it was still there two minutes ago.

DON'T FUCKING DO IT.

I don't care how good she looks. Are you just simple?

You're not allowed to post those pictures anyway. You know that.

One of the cardinal rules here is "NO POSTING OF ANOTHER USER'S PERSONAL INFO." You really can't get much personal than by posting a picture of another person.

Whether or not she put it up in the first place is immaterial. These images are not 'public domain.' They belong to the copyright holder, usually whomever took the picture, not to anyone who wants to use them.

Shame on you for trying to blame someone for what you did. Be a man and take the consequences for being an asshole instead of trying to whine your way out of it and pass the buck.

Someone used my picture for oh about 3 days as their av, I'm not naming names but.........not cool!

how is this any different than when everyone and their brother was sporting a yayati AV?

no one got bent out of shape then, why now?

board ethics only apply to certain members?

It's different because nobody seriously believed that Yaya was posting his real picture. Nothing else about him is real, why would he post a real pic?

Was it right of people to do that? Probably not. I didn't do it, but I laughed when others did.

I'd say, after you cross a certain line, you lose the right to be taken seriously. Yaya passed that line a long LONG time ago.

My av is not me.

Just wanted you all to know.

 

[lobito]

that's a shame TWB, that fellas got quite a nice smile.

 

[TWB]

I am not quite as hairy.

 

[perks]

I feel like I'm beating a dead horse, but I'd like to add something here.

A week ago I was on the same rant, except it was about name dropping.

I guess my platform is Privacy.

I don't think it should matter who it is. It's never right to post information about another person, unless you have their explicit permission.

I don't know why this concept is so difficult for people to grasp, especially when they're told and told and told and told...

I agree PB, that is why *blank* comes in so handy....and he knows who he is anyway *weg*

Was there a double standard? Definitely. Did it bother me? Nope.

Should it have? Probably.

Am I a bad person for that? Maybe, maybe not.

Is talking to yourself a sign of mental illness? Only if you answer yourself.

 

[sunstruck]

I'll own this one. I didn't use yaya's pic as an AV, but I did use it on another image and probably started the whole thing.

Yes, there is a double standard. No, I don't care. You reap what you sew.

I don't think these two situations are all that comparable, but that's not really my call.

I hope to hell none of y'all is Diana Rigg.

 

[TWB]

no.

I am Diana Ross.

 

[paganangel]

sorry guys...

whenyou put it out there you put it out there. it certainly ceases to be private. b 4 i get flamed, ask yourslf this, is there really anything you are going to say that is going to convince me that info of anykind posted on THE INTERNET is private?

look, we all have psuedonyms, if we don'r reveal real names here, no one else should, the same with pics. but once we do it's naive to think it might stay there. take it as a lesson learned and don't post anything you don't want out there.

that's not a lit rule...that's like the first common knowledge rule of the net. it's what we teach our four year olds.

the only exception would be maybe if he used the photo for profit.


attorneys?

Eat Pretzels.
