Reporting Abuse

United States
February 7, 2009 6:40pm CST
There are times for the safety and security of our community that we are required to report abuse, now will there be action on our reports that will determine the overall health of the community and the leadership making sure that certain criteria for use of the forum are maintained to a high standard of quality. We are the moderators helping the real moderators to do their job... When something as blatant as identity theft of friends and former members appears it is important that we all take action in solving the problem so that justice can prevail. Here are two impostors... http://www.mylot.com/Gnosisquest2 http://www.mylot.com/Gnosisquest_1 Here is what the real Ras, thinks; "Thanks Gary: I will see what I can do about these trolls. I looked at the conversations these trolls started and it amounts to defamation of character since they are displaying my picture along with their empty headed messages. I tried contacting myLot but see no place where I can contact them unless I become a member again and I do not desire to return until they do not submit to the Islamic terrorist threats." The problem is having to do with identity theft, along with the use of the weblink as a personal object to be claimed as a personal creation. These are not items to be played with unless they are your personally and a good website will not allow these things to exist once they are reported to be used in error or as deliberate attempts to impersonate another individual. Using the likeness and name of another person is stealing their identity and that should not be tolerated.

It's all getting to be beyond ridiculous if you ask me. The more I think about it though, the more I'm convinced that we should just completely ignore people that are acting this way. Nobody can satisfy their negative cravings, gain notoriety or rattle cages if they aren't even acknowledged!

Fair enough WTL, but I am talking about ignoring them directly. We can still report them and do what needs to be done behind the scenes to have them removed! Engaging them post by post like we are all doing just gets them off.

I am guessing by their behavior that (much like a teenage boy) the wind blowing crazy gets them off LOL

Is it time to make the world spin in a different direction, on a different axis, so that the children will finally understand that what was once up is no longer in that same position. I thought the UK was a nation of laws?

Well Mr. Henderson... Life is tough and I know how tough life is... Our stories are quite similar it might appear. I can only imagine what you are going though and what you will continue to go through, there are many issues and forces at work... I hope that you find peace and calm comes to your center. The world for me is also tumultuous... I would love to share with you more... I know your time is limited and valuable... I just wish I could do more for you and others like you and me... Hi' Lakota, His page is gone and I'm not sure of GQ_1 or 2 as I saw GQ 2 still appears to have this false account of his... Yes, another good one has bit the dust...

OMG, I cannot believe that this could happen. There must be some better way for people to start proving who they are on the internet. I think that it is time for sites to required absolute proof of identity, just as if you were opening a bank account.

Yes, children and white collar pirates! I know that there are a few sites, not like this, but discussion boards, where we must prove who we are before we can become members. It makes sense because they are losing money to these people and it hurts myLot's profit. I do not think that it is too hard to do. I know on Craigslist, I cannot post "for hire" classifieds without first verifying with my phone. I supply a number, they call or text me with a code, I must enter that code, and then I am verified. Now, it is not perfect, but it is something.

i have not seen any one before trying to pretend as other members. i don't know their reason for doing that and what benefit will they get from it. but of course if i discover one i will need to report it.

As a fairly new person here, I've noticed a few who hang together, chase off trolls, and keep the peace. I will try to do my best to do my part. Thanks for the update and warning. Be well.
