Another forum- Our Member.
I just stumbled on a 7 page thread on another forum that is picking on a member of our community. I wouldn't show it to her just based on that because some seriously hurtful things are said...BUT it has been revealed in that thread that there is a least one person using this persons pictures and pretending to be them. What should my course of action be? Do I even take a course of action? -Defender of the masses. Jul 25 06 12:28 pm Link When in doubt contact a mod... Sometimes shit actually gets accomplished too!

Maybe you should let her know....she deserves a chance to defend herself. Send her a discrete e-mail Jul 25 06 12:35 pm Link Nemi Bea wrote: Then if you want to do the right thing I would let her know... the truth can be ugly but she should atleast know whats going on. Jul 25 06 12:37 pm Link Albie Bruno wrote: I agree, if it was me I would want to know. You should let this member know. I realize that you don't want to open her up to a world of hurt, but her reputation is at stake. Jul 25 06 12:38 pm Link It's like....really...reallllly bad though....I kind of picture her crying massively if she sees this. I was thinking maybe I could just let her know people are using her likeness.

After all, its not your fault that this has happened to her. Jul 25 06 12:49 pm Link Nemi Bea wrote: You should let her know even if it is really bad, at least after she cried she could unleash her rage. I personally would want to defend myself.

Jul 25 06 01:03 pm Link After seeing who the member is and the blatant disrespect for this model I agree, there's nothing that can be done. This member is disabled and has probably heard the things said about her all of her life. It's unfortunate yes, but directing her to the forum will only hurt her since she cannot defend herself. As Katie said, it's a private forum where only if you're a member can you respond. It's sad world we live in when people can poke fun at another persons disabilites and feel no remorse.. Jul 25 06 01:10 pm Link ...if it were me, i'd want to know Jul 25 06 01:12 pm Link Well maybe someone could set the record straight by posting on that other forum, if you or someone you or she knows is a member. Jul 25 06 01:13 pm Link Nemi Bea wrote: Humm, seems like a stummper I don't have any bright ideas.. Jul 25 06 01:13 pm Link How about going to the mods on that site. Almost all sites have user agreements which prohibit such behavior. If her character and work is being slandered she should at least be told. She could take action then. Legal perhaps.. or contact the site owner. Too bad sh** like that happens. If you have nothing nice to say then --etc. Keith Jul 25 06 01:19 pm Link i would think if her likeness is being used, that there should be recourse for that at least. Jul 25 06 01:25 pm Link I would personally let it go.... It's on a pay site, not really open to the general public and so how many people will really see it? If there isnt anything she can do herself about it I think it would only hurt her. also, what kind of people hang out on the site? do they matter? or are they just gossipy types with nothing to do? If they are just gossipy types with nothing to do what they gossip about probably doesnt matter to anyone of importance. On the other hand if the gossip can hurt the member financially she should have the opportunity to get a lawyer involved to protect her. I wouldnt go a mod here or to anyone else here with her info, thats just furthing the gossip to another source.. No offense to the mods here but they are only mods here and have no more authority anywhere else then you or I would have. They can also spread the gossip further, anyone here you tell can spread the gossip further so I wouldnt mention her name to anyone.... Thats how I would handle it anyway Jul 25 06 01:33 pm Link are the asses ripping the model on MM? List their names with snippets so we get to see their "inner beauty."

While they can be funny and the threads are interesting to read at times it doesn't make it right to rip apart someone who cannot defend themself.

Jul 25 06 02:05 pm Link I sent the model a message here, and did NOT direct her to the source. Thanks guys. Jul 25 06 02:08 pm Link Nemi Bea wrote: You did the right thing.
