mega thread Post a Picture of Yourself!

[Frith is Magick 1,471]

If anyone truly has ill intent, a picture in this thread isn't going to be what gets you. If someone doesn't want to show them-self, that's none of my business, in fact, I would wager the majority of forum users don't, but at the end of the day, of all the risks to personal security, this is pretty minor. The reason I don't post is because I'm feckin' ugly (and feel bloody weird takin' selfies), but there is no significant risk. If there was, the mods would have shut this down, simple as that.

eh watever you say. just warning you its more dangerous than you think. people can take a picture and find out all about you.

[Sir Hugsalot 9,287]

Guys, calm down. She actually has a point, if this picture is for example posted elsewhere then Your facebook accounts etc can be tracked easily. I don't post my pictures elsewhere though, they are on this forum only. So really, give her a break, because she meant nothing bad yet gets all those ridiculous lectures ;/ 

[Discordian 6,015]

It's hardly dangerous to post pictures of yourself. People look at other people all the time and suddenly know what they look like. That's like expecting every person you see down the street to be a potential stalker. The chances of anyone who's ever posted a picture here or anywhere else getting stalked or being in dangerous is so astronomical that you'd be protecting yourself from nothing.

I won't question the intent, and I don't mean to lecture. No matter where you post you have to be careful. All I was saying is that it isn't inherently risky, it only becomes a problem if you're careless, just like with anything out there.

 

 

It wasn't actually about You but about this entire discussion on why Alicorn Fluttershy iswrong when she actually is not. The chance of anyone here getting cyberbullied with such pictures is very low but it's always there. After all internet is amazing but also dangerous place and trolls stop at nothing to ruin other people's life. I am not trying to start drama about it, like I said chances are very low. But she has a point and saying that she is entirely not right means that someone is new to the internet lol. 

You're right, I just clicked into debate mode, which, outside of debate, can cause problems. There is a risk, but I think the end point is that the risk can be easily minimized. I think I'll shut up before I risk starting something  Edited May 23, 2014 by Frith is Magick

Millions of pictures are posted on the internet, both securely and not, that any dangers that exist are minimal, unlikely and it's downright crazy to believe that something as simple as a picture is going to get you in any sort of trouble or danger. Even if dangers are there, they aren't worth worrying about. Ever.

 

Even if someone were to confess to being cyberstalked...well they are one in a million.

I would actually love to hear you explain how they would be able to do this. I really don't understand.

Google Image Search. If you use Chrome, you can track a picture just about anywhere.

eeyup

This. If picture You post here is also posted somewhere else and not marked as private - then anyone can track You down pretty fast. In seconds actually. 

 

I can already say that one person who posted picture some time ago actually posted fake picture. I won't go with name in public though.

Trust me I know all about reverse image searching. I did that with someone on this site too, discovered his pictures were from gay porn sites, and kindly asked him to stop posting fake images. Maybe it was the same person.

 

But I'm admitting that it would be easy to find me on the internet. Probably would take an internet savvy person minutes to find my facebook. But what I want to know it what are they going to do then? I'm friends with 600+ people and they all have access to my information on there. Their friends can probably see most of my information. But I'm curious as to what you think people will be able to do with this.

I am pretty sure we are not talking about same person. I'll send PM about this.
