Has anybody noticed any creepy people?

Asked by daytonamisticrip (4859points) August 25th, 2010

A new fluther user was trying to find out where people live and was being creepy. Watch out for people like this and don’t give out information. I don’t know what his intentions where but i know they weren’t good. Has anybody else come across people like this?

Nah but don’t worry, most people can smell a troll a mile away.

I once had a user pretend to be interested in talking to me and then ask me for pictures of my penis.

So…yeah…

There are definitely some users who come on here with creepy intentions, but this site is pretty good about getting those people banned (the person I’m referring to was gone within a couple minutes of sending me that message).

@DominicX lol, that was me..using a different account…okay, it wasn’t. sorry people are creepy.

I saw that question and I flagged it. I haven’t noticed any other “creepy jellies”. Except for the one who pmed me and asked how my girlfriend and I have sex. He wanted details. Yes, it’s happened and the guy keeps on pming weird shit.

There was another user who would pester me with weird comments. I ignore him, though, and he has cut down with the pms. I talked to tinyfaery about it. She just told me to tell him to fuck off.

<<< is very creepy. Watch out for him, and other zen plus names of old. I lurve writing in thrid person. From one’s posts and Q’s, it’s easy to know where someone is from – in the very least, what country/city. Plus there are over 50 jellies on Ryan’s map. I don’t FB – but I imagine those linked reveal tons of info, including photos. So – non-issue.

@DominicX- Yeah, I forgot about that. Where are those pictures anyway? I never did get them.

@tinyfaery The combination of that simple smiley face and your avatar just screams mischief.

I’ve noticed a few of those. But worse, I’ve noticed many old timers sniping at each other at the slightest pretense. I sense that the community feeling is deteriorating; maybe it’s just my paranoid streak…I’m reluctant to PM anyone, thinking that someone will think I’m a creep.

I’m missing out on the drama. Send me DRAMAAAAA.

[mod says] NOTE: If anyone is getting creepy/unwanted PMs, and a simple “don’t PM me anymore” doesn’t stop them, please let me know via PM or the ‘contact’ button up there ^^. We have our ways of dealing with stuff like this. <cracks whip>

@stranger_in_a_strange_land As a fellow creep you are welcome to PM me as usual. :-)

ANef_is_Enuf's avatar

I won’t name names, but a semi-regular fluther user approached me in a very creepy way not too long ago.

CMaz's avatar

Who were they!?

I will kill them! ;-)

valdasta's avatar

No one wants to get creepy on me – I’m too square.

But a female jelly offered me a friend request on fb just after a short volley of two or three pm’s.

CMaz's avatar

It’s hip to be square!

le_inferno's avatar

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@le_inferno Jeez, and some people think I’m creepy…

augustlan's avatar

Psst. I removed that after I made note of his name.

CMaz's avatar

Too late. And we are going to hunt him down and beat him. ;-)

I’ve already gotten several tube socks with a bar of soap in them ready to go.

How do I keep missing these funky threads? Geez, you’d think I wasn’t paying close attention!
