 | Over recent weeks there has been a lot of heat and maybe not much light generated in the 'Abuse report system'. I just want to put a few thoughts out there to see if there is any consensus at all.
First of all I have to state my personal prejudices here; 1) While totally accepting that we are all adults here, and to misuse a term, while accepting caveat emptor, I do think that anyone who creates an account with the deliberate intention of making another member think they are someone/thing they are not should be given very short shrift and deleted a.s.a.p. In particular those males who 'need' to pretend they are females. males pretending to be couple. I really can't get my head a round that. 2) I also have zero tolerance of anything involving ****. whether it be actual photographs of photo shopped images. 3) Images involving **** sexually involved with humans...that does not mean for example a dog lying on the bed, but examples such as those posted by eronir today. 4) Images of an ex, or anyone else without that persons consent. (tricky, I know) However a lot of the abuse reports do not fall within those categories. Some members post images that they have found online and just wish to share. There is no intention to fool other members. So the profile has a lot of totally genuine images but a few of a dick/pussy or person that they saw and wanted to share; maybe even photos of a nude celebrity. I am not convinced these people deserve deletion. There are many well known sites that allow posting of copyright images of this type. There are other reports that are made because an image has been found on blogs, tumblr or twitter. This is such a grey area, once you post an image online you lose total control and it can appear anywhere. I personally don't think anyone should be deleted because of an image found on any of these. So, those are my views, who should we delete ? |

Where do members stand on this picture ?
I have lived long enough to know that things aren't always as they seem, that you will find wolves dressed in sheep's clothing. But here, on SYD, I don't see wolves, I see snakes, slimy, slithering around on their belly, snakes. It is sad with that all that is done anonymously and the number of fake profiles/personas created because they don't have the balls or backbone to say what they want to say or prove what they want to prove.
There are more pussies here than those that are registered on SYC!
When I was verifying all abuses myself I got tired of those lame excuses pretty fast, so I simply assumed that if the photo has some mark - it's stolen.
These are the reasons,along with all the politcs, I elect to refrane from taking part of the panel.
The other day I received a PM from another member who noted that a member posting a picture with the logo, Candy Camera was referred for deletion. As I recall, the referring member did not provide any internet links but said that it 'seemed to be an internet picture'. I checked it out and indeed, Candy Camera is a site for enhancing selfies. The usual group had already voted to delete but I suggested that they take an opportunity to Google Candy Camera an check it out. One member begrudgingly changed their vote but not before they made a remark about this site being a repository for fakes and the chatter that will go on about the matter.
On another note, I am of the opinion that if a member is going to report another member, they need to present facts and links. It is not for me/the panel to determine why 'you' are reporting someone or for a voting member(s) to be abusive and refer to anyone as a 'FUCKING IDIOT' due to them voting 'no abuse' because a reason and/or link was not presented.
It is sad that there is a 10 day window to resolve the matter yet the panel is eager to delete the reported member without being given an opportunity to explain or correct the 'offense' they are being charged with.
In point 2 I am referring to people not yet 18.
In point 3 to other mammals.
