Think you personal pics are safe on myLot?

Hi Lindalinda,

Yes myLot was very responsive! Luckily I was on the site when this took place and was able to report them quickly. According to some other commenters on here I "should have known this, everyone knows this"....lol I know tempers flare on here, not everyone agrees, but to take a pic and visciously use it is just rediculous! I will be more careful in the future with what I post on my profile here on myLot.

Whether or not you should have known this is immaterial. So now it is a case of "blaming the victim". I would not have believed Mylot users would stoop so low.

I thought so too Linda. I mean what a crappy feeling to have to be suspicious of everyone you meet because of one persons actions. I like it here on myLot, and I never thought that it would come to anything like this. Thank you for your support!

Hiya Rosie!!

LOL Yes I lived and I learned! Im really sorry to hear about your experience, that was much worse than what happened with me. That is just silly and so uncalled for. Your right it does tell a lot more about the person that did this than it does you!

Well now that we both have learned, this will never happen to either of us again! And I hope to no one else here on myLot or anyother site where they feel they are just sharing themselves on a social site. So much for being social, you have to be private and keep to yourself. I think Im just too open and trusting at times.

Rosie, I meant to ask you....I can be slow at times.

What does BTDT mean? LOL

Been There, Done That. If you have the T-shirt you've been in it certainly, but if you have the T-shirt AND hat you've been in it up to your neck!

LMAO....Ooooh! See now that makes sense to me. Told you Im slow, derrr. lol Thanks hon!

No problem Raia!

I really woudnt like to see this happen with anyone else on here, or any type of site on the net where you have options to post pictures. I wasnt oblivious to the fact that it can happen, I just didnt think that it would here. No matter what I say to someone, it doesnt give them the right to do what they did.

It was scary, and I was fuming mad!! I was just happy that myLot responded so quickly and removed the comments that they made with my pic. I was online when it happened, I got the email alert that a comment was posted and when I clicked on the discussion to see what was going on, I was shocked.

I may come off as a b!tch sometimes and speak my mind, but I do care and I dont want this happening with anyone else.

Sometimes people judge assertive people as being b@#tchy..but I don't see it that way. You were the one who was taken advantage of...I would be livid if that happened to me too. Good for you that you made sure that the situation was handled and that other Mylotters know that it could happen to them to.

Your experiences have been making me consider whether I should delete some of the photos I have posted of me, David, our friends. It is very disappointing to think that a site like this would have those who could take away the sense of openness and trust that is here within most of the exchanges.

Anyway, I think you did us all a favor...and thanks. It was the same reason I posted my discussion about the forwards and value you input there. We have to look out for each other and make sure this site is one we will all want to continue coming to. Overall I love it...but there are things that give reason to pause alright.

Good to have a new friend like you!

So long..
Raia

Im just didnt want to see this happen with anyone else. It was making me shake in my chair I was close to tears I was so upset.

I dont think you will have any problems though Raia, I mean your way too kind to upset anyone to this extent. I was being a b!tch to them becuase they were verbally picking on a very nice young lady from another country. That is just uncalled for, thanks again for your support!

Then what do you consider photos of yourself? Duh, personal photos. They werent photos of my friggin neighbors. LOL I didnt get them from someone else and post them, they are mine, i.e., personal. Geesh and I thought I was slow.

Bay xx

Hey Girl,

They sure warn you that you should have permission to upload, but they sure dont warn you that the photos that you can upload to your profile can be saved by someone else. If they do, I sure missed it. I read the guidelines before uploading any pics. I think myLot should tell you that. I just never thought anyone would be so bold to do it, wasnt that I was totally clueless to the fact. lol Lesson learned!! Crappy feeling not being able to trust anyone though.

Bay xx

Yeah I didnt think of it either Book! I sure pissed this person off to go to all the troulbe of stealing the pic, creating a profile with it and then following me around myLot posting smartass remarks behind everything I said....who has time for all that??? Sounds like they need friends, they could have some if they werent so mean to people! lol

Bay xx

Hi Dimaks!

Well no more thats for sure!! What I do have posted is only available to friends that I know outside of the internet, people that I have known for many years and trust whole heartedly.

lesson learned here! Bay xx

All this plussing is going to put you to bed sooner! lol Its going to wear you out.

Yeah I was too trusting really. I mean people can make you mad, but that doesnt mean you have to go that far. Talk about no life!!

Well Im sure you wont piss someone off like I did. I have a habit of NOT holding my "finger". LOL I pretty much and blunt and to the point, say whats on my mind. Gets me in trouble sometimes.;o)

OK, I was dead tired all day - falling asleep at work almost, but here it is 11:14 and I'm still plussing away!! And laughing my butt off to boot!!!

And yeah, I've made some people here pretty mad, it's a wonder I don't need some plussing myself!!! I'm with you, don't sugar coat it, tell it like it is!! There's too many people like that movie, can't remember the name... "You can't handle the truth!"
