mLot guidelines: I have a question about honest discussions

That's not only dishonest, it's stupid.

There is nothing in the Guidelines which says that a person must be truthful but the Terms do prohibit content which "promotes information that you know is false or misleading". I remember the guy that @pgntwo mentioned. He became less and less believable as time went on and I think that I eventually searched for and found where he was getting the images (which were copyright, of course). I don't know exactly on what count(s) he was kicked out but I certainly messaged Alex about his use of coyright photos and pointed out his deception. I think that most people, including Admin, would take a very dim view of anyone persistently trying to deceive people! Not the kind of person we want here!

Unfortunatly, we cannot say why we report something

I am sure I could spin several different stories around the same picture, should I be so inclined... Not sure if the Guidelines forbid it - we had a guy here who spun amazing stories around the pics he got elsewhere... Usually implying how he had all these lovely young girls who just adored his company... As if!

I can't answer the question but if I found out a member was lying in this way I wouldn't be reading any more of his stuff - ever.

This is the internet - he should have known that he could get caught - especially when this site has so many members from his country.

That's on the lower end of identity theft. That's how it gets started though. He shouldn't have put off a picture of someone else as his grandmother. Is it against guidelines? Probably not.

Oh I think, I respond to that discussion of the liar and I responded that her grandmother looks like an actress

I do not know about lying in a post, but I do believe that pictures are covered by copywright rules so you should give proper credit.

My foto is me me taken on a very sunny day

ye it is i eing is always wrong darn whats with people canboit ayone just tell the truth?

On any site copying an image is against the rules. I don't know why the image on that post was not deleted.

No, I don't think so because the post wasn't plagiarized. He just lied about the picture. That would irritate me as well.

It should be against the rules! Lying is a terrible habit, we shouldn't have to deal with on My Lot!

I'm not sure about the rules aspect but for sure it is something that can get out of hand. It doesn't seem fair if the story is asking for help or empathy from the reader. Fiction or non-fiction changes everything.

I do not think that it violates the guidelines to lie, but it will not take long before people are wise to this and stop interacting with that person. I would think that they are dooming themselves by doing that.

That's a good question. I'd think a chronic liar would fade into obscurity anyway.

I haven't seen a rule about lying, I wouldn't do it but I suppose some do

Hilarious (re: that member used a famous Indian actress' photo and said she was his grandma)! Why should he do that silly thing I wonder!

I don’t think so but its fine if you report it. I just got curious about that grandma actress. Who was she?
