PICTURE THREADS

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by Royale30, Jul 2, 2011.

  1. Okay, I'll make this short and sweet.

    Picture threads have always been popular, and are always locked/deleted due to things going off topic, or an argument, or an inappropriate picture. So yea, Leonardo made an official one. But while working on a project of mine, I had an idea.

    Me, and my good buddy Lilmoo, did some research. We found out this:
    You can trace the picture to a player's photobucket account. From here you have access to any picture ever uploaded to Photobucket. Also, once here you can STEAL these photos and use them as your own.

    So for this reason ANY AND ALL PICTURE THREADS WILL BE DELETED!

    This is to protect the players, not to be mean.

    Thank you,
    Royale
     
  2. thats stupid
     
  3. foxy, what's stupid? The fact that I care for your safety?

    Or the fact that pictures are traceable? I'd really like to be enlightened.
     
  4. I don't know who would want to trace people's pictures back to their photobucket accounts
     
  5. Im alright with that rule.. Im not alright with i got silenced for something i didnt even know was permitted -_-
     
  6. He is completely right and hopefully this will show people that something as small as posting an innocent picture of yourself can be dangerous. This only took us a short amount of time to figure this out but I think if someone tried they could get much more information from that account. The account itself keeps your birthday and it is linked with your email which hold lots of personal information.
     
  7. MrMc, pedophiles know what they're doing. Sure, not me or you would do this, but they could easily get hands on people's pics.

    It could not even be pedophiles, it could be troublemakers. anyone could go on there and start posting all your pics here. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like that.
     
  8. I wouldn't really are about the pictures because they're almost all stupidly funny, it's mostly the fact that they would try and get personal info from me that's the unsettling part.
     
  9. But pedophiles aren't really a worry of mine too much nowadays. I feel as if they wouldn't want much to do with me.
     
  10. I agree with Royale. It needs to be done. Good call. Everyone else, build a bridge and get over it.
     
  11. It's not a hard bridge to get over. I just can't share any of my funny pictures anymore
     
  12. Lol. I didn't say you couldn't share funny pics. You won't be silenced for it. All I'm doing is warning you guys of the dangers before you post. And I'll only delete threads that are made for pictures.
     
  13. Y do u argue with him?? All he is doing is trying to keep ur pics to u not to some pedofile who uses ur pics to talk to Kids. And all ur doin is wasting ur time arguing with him it's not goin to change their mind
     
  14. Okay im fine with this but everyone silenced from thst forum should be unsilenced including me foxymama23 stupidmonkey emisomething(Idk her name) etc
     
  15. Guts you should be happy. This prooves that we aren't mods just to silence you but we are mods to try to keep you safe in game and out.
     
  16. I'm gonna stalk Leo now :0 but I already know where he lives 
     
  17. Seirously i demand to be unsilenced
