Creepy Internet People hopefully I stopped him

Recommended Posts

I've been on a BBS for a few years now and everything has been cool up until a couple of days ago. This guy, who I don't even know- I don't think we've ever even been in the same thread- sent me pictures of himself and... parts of himself. And then he asked for me to send him some of me! "I want proof that you're really a girl", he said. :D So I wrote back to him and said that I wasn't a girl, but a fake account of the most annoying guy on the board. I hope that worked!

Usually, if guys are going to get creepy on you they'll ease into it. They'll try to be friends with you and slowly they'll start to get more personal- so you can see it coming and stop anything like that from happening before it starts. But this was so bold and sudden. I haven't seen his name around since then. I did make my online status hidden though, just in case.

On a lighter side of this serious subject I had a friend (male) who would get into chat rooms and start conversations with people and pretend that he was a girl. (He considered it a game to see how gullible some people (especially men) could be.) I think he used "Dancing Veils" as a pseudonym and you won't believe how many guys wanted to get more information about my friend. Anticipating that someone was going to ask him what he/she looked like my friend went to Walmart or Kmart and got a frame with a picture in it. He would describe himself with the same description as the picture and then if someone asked him for a photograph he would sent it to them. If it got to where he thought it might get risky he would cut off any ties (via the computer) with that person. He never revealed who he was and he loved every minute of it...is he sick or what?Actually he was quite normal except he said that he loved a book that told you how to kill someone in a thousand different ways...and guess what profession he was in...teaching! ;) Take Care,"Dancing Veal" :P

Wow that's weird and creepy. Be careful when giving away your personal information's to strangers... in the internet you never know who might be after the computer screen ;).

For your sake I hope it works! What a creep. I just don't get humans sometimes. It's amazing the kind of freak personalities manafest themselves when they can hide behind a computer screen and don't have much fear of being found out. Obviously, you are old enough for this (seeing particular body parts) that it was just creepy to you, but not particularly shocking, but imagine if it had been a young child that had recieved the pictures! So much garbage out there! If I had kids I don't think I'd even let them near my computer. They would be way far better off if they were just outside playing with the dogs.

Trust me, this has happened multiple times to me on social networking sites, such as Facebook.If you ever use Chat Roulette or the like, NEVER reveal your email address to users who think you are "so hawt and sxc" as they usually end up finding your Facebook account and if they dig further, more personal information. :blink:

Facebook can be considered potentially dangerous. Because Facebook can contain a lot of personal information. This information can lead a stalker to the address of someone else. The websites that provide services like email and other services can consideret to be potentially dangerous too. Because they ask the user to post personal information like names and the address on the internet. For most surfers it seems without problems to reveal personal information on a website. Because almost all forms on the internet ask for personal information. So websites almost never warn people that somebody else who has the intention to stalk can find personal information once it is on the internet.

This is a rather serious problem all over the net, and there's hardly any way to actually stop it unless some sort of police force watches the entire internet 24/7 and immediately catches creeps like this. The best thing to do is to report this to an Admin. In fact, I just recently had problems with creeps like these.

I am an Admin in a site and one of the permabanned creeps asked if we could reconsider his ban. The chat went on like this (with names and site name edited)

[11:01] Me: Well, what got you banned was a pretty serious thing [11:01] Me: I would have said 'Yes' if you were banned for stuff like flaming or cheating
[11:01] Me: But since that would count as pornography and/or sexual harrasment (I think)
[11:01] Me: What is the guarantee that it won't happen again?
[11:02] Me: Letting you in would endanger other people, etc. etc.
[11:02] Permabanned_Pervert: Even though when Admin_R did something of a similar situation and nature, the administration then decided that because it happened off of the site, he could not be tried for it.
[11:02] Permabanned_Pervert: Even when the said picture was given to me and therefore my personal property
[11:02] Permabanned_Pervert: Sexual harassment would have involved more of a threat or something, which was not the case.
[11:03] Permabanned_Pervert: And I suppose if you're going to try me for pornography, most of your members would be banned for life
[11:03] Permabanned_Pervert: I'd almost safely say all
[11:03] Permabanned_Pervert: And well, it hasn't happened again
[11:03] Permabanned_Pervert: I've been banned for over a year and it has not
[11:03] Permabanned_Pervert: and before that I had a pretty spot clean record
[11:04] Me: True
[11:04] Me: But why exactly did you spread the picture though?
[11:04] Permabanned_Pervert: It was a personal matter
[11:04] Me: And what do you mean Admin_R was in a similar situation?
[11:04] Permabanned_Pervert: Admin_R got caught showing his hoo hoo dilly to younger member
[11:04] Permabanned_Pervert: and thats when the whole "if it's off site you can't get banned for it" thing came into fruition
[11:04] Permabanned_Pervert: though there was no rule on it before hand
[11:05] Permabanned_Pervert: though now I believe your staff members are under more strict ruling
[11:05] Me: Were the two incidents within the same timespan?
[11:05] Permabanned_Pervert: No, mine was previous to Admin_Rs
[11:05] Me: Hm
[11:05] Me: Now this is complicated
[11:05] Permabanned_Pervert: Nor did I ever recieve any sort of trial, or get to give any sort of explaination
[11:05] Permabanned_Pervert: I was just banned
[11:05] Permabanned_Pervert: for life
[11:06] Me: But you spread the pictures outside of THE_SITE correct?
[11:06] Permabanned_Pervert: and ever since then certain members of your administration have made it increasingly difficult to allow myself any sort of chance of redemption, explaination, or fair trial.
[11:06] Permabanned_Pervert: yes
[11:06] Permabanned_Pervert: to three specific members
[11:06] Permabanned_Pervert: Admin_R himself
[11:06] Permabanned_Pervert: person
[11:06] Permabanned_Pervert: and the other person
[11:06] Me: Now it complicates even further seeing as Admin_R is invovled with your case too
[11:06] Me: Did they ask for it?
[11:06] Me: Or did you just send it to them?
[11:07] Permabanned_Pervert: No
[11:07] Permabanned_Pervert: ohh
[11:07] Permabanned_Pervert: yes
[11:07] Permabanned_Pervert: they did
[11:07] Permabanned_Pervert: you have to accept a file to recieve it
[11:07] Permabanned_Pervert: and all fully well knew what the file was
[11:07] Me: And who reported you to admin?
[11:07] Permabanned_Pervert: oddly enough
[11:07] Permabanned_Pervert: the other person
[11:07] Me: Hm
[11:07] Permabanned_Pervert: along with Victim A, the person whose boobs it was
[11:08] Permabanned_Pervert: though, we're friends now
[11:08] Permabanned_Pervert: me and her
[11:08] Me: Admin_R not getting banned would have made more sense if he was the one to report you
[11:08] Permabanned_Pervert: They didn't know he was involved
[11:08] Permabanned_Pervert: like I said
[11:08] Me: Sithe_sitee a reason for him accepting the file would be to use it against you as evidence
[11:08] Permabanned_Pervert: no one gave me a chance to say anything
[11:08] Me: That does sound unfair
[11:08] Permabanned_Pervert: they even denied it at first
[11:09] Permabanned_Pervert: Admin_K refused to tell me what was happening
[11:09] Permabanned_Pervert: I had to find out from another player several days later when they made the announcement
[11:09] Me: Do you have proof that Admin_R recieved the file though?
[11:09] Me: Like does person and the other person know he recieved it too?
[11:09] Permabanned_Pervert: He's admitted to it before >>
[11:09] Permabanned_Pervert: I'm sure he would admit to it again
[11:09] Permabanned_Pervert: I'm not trying to get Admin_R in trouble, this is something that happened ages ago
[11:09] Permabanned_Pervert: I just want to rp again x.x
[11:10] Me: Well, if you put it to that perspective
[11:10] Me: If you just want to RP again
[11:10] Me: I would say 'yes'
[11:10] Me: But the moment you do something like that again, there's no other chances
[11:10] Permabanned_Pervert: I was a pretty good member I like to think
[11:10] Permabanned_Pervert: I don't want other chance
[11:10] Permabanned_Pervert: if I *BLEEP* up again
[11:10] Permabanned_Pervert: please
[11:10] Permabanned_Pervert: ban forever and dont unlock me
[11:10] Permabanned_Pervert: But it's been over a year >>
[11:11] Me: Did you already ask an Admin to reconsider your ban before?
[11:11] Permabanned_Pervert: yes
[11:11] Me: Who?
[11:11] Permabanned_Pervert: Well it went to admin
[11:11] Me: Ah yeh
[11:11] Permabanned_Pervert: but Mugen generally tries to help me
[11:11] Permabanned_Pervert: I don't understand why a second chance is such a terrible thing
[11:12] Me: From what I remember
[11:12] Permabanned_Pervert: If I *BLEEP* up you guys can just as easily ban me again.
[11:12] Me: The argument was
[11:12] Me: If we were to unban one person, everyone else would asked to be unbanned
[11:12] Me: etc etc
[11:13] Permabanned_Pervert: I served a year ban
[11:13] Permabanned_Pervert: more than that
[11:13] Permabanned_Pervert: Can't that be enough?
[11:13] Permabanned_Pervert: is that not enough?
[11:14] Permabanned_Pervert: I spent so much time working on this site, plot, council, various groups, I taught classes, even modded a mission once.
[11:14] Permabanned_Pervert: I helped on the suggestions forums, the help forums, answered questions to anyone that needed it
[11:15] Permabanned_Pervert: I was an *bottom*
[11:15] Permabanned_Pervert: yes
[11:15] Permabanned_Pervert: but there are a lot of asses on this site
[11:15] Permabanned_Pervert: But despite everything I tried to do for THE_SITE, the countless hours every day that I put into it, they banned me without so much as an explaination.
[11:15] Permabanned_Pervert: all I ask for is that I get the chance to rp, and nothing more.
[11:18] Me: I'll see what I can do
[11:18] Permabanned_Pervert: I appreciate that.
[11:18] Permabanned_Pervert: And thank you.
[11:20] Me: I was reviewing old Admin discussions about you
[11:20] Me: If we do actually get you unbanned
[11:20] Me: You have a restraining order from Mist or any Mistie
[11:20] Me: Would that be alright with you?
[11:20] Permabanned_Pervert: How does that work, I've been very curious
[11:20] Permabanned_Pervert: I mean, not being allowed to join mist is very acceptable, I don't really want to go back.
[11:20] Permabanned_Pervert: But not being allowed to rp with certain people, I don't know how I feel about that
[11:20] Permabanned_Pervert: because I do have a lot of mistie friends that would not be happy with that.
[11:21] Me: I have no idea how they will enforce that, yes, but that seemed to be the only way to get you back in with the people who wants you to not return
[11:21] Me: But I guess that only applies to RPing?
[11:22] Permabanned_Pervert: I can agree to never being allowed to join mist
[11:22] Permabanned_Pervert: and not being allowed to travel there
[11:22] Permabanned_Pervert: other than that I don't know what they expect o,o
[11:22] * Me shrugs
[11:22] Permabanned_Pervert: but sure, whatever the cost


Permabanned_Pervert was asking Me if I could "take his case" to the_site's Admin, after asking several of the other admins for the umpteenth time. We, the Admin, not wanting a repeat of the event did what was best for the_site's community... by not allowing him back into the_site because he had a very, erm, colorful history.

So, like I said before, as soon as this happens, report to your site's Admin.

No offense. There was a lot of chatting to discuss this matter. The question rises why. Because from the first sentence onwards it is clear the request will be denied. Maybe it shows somebody on the website has a lot of patience. Or it is hard for somebody to say no to somebody else.
