O.K first let me say that I am not trying
to start anything with anyone. I know
how territorial and protective you all can
be. You're all close, and i've said
before it suks to be a newbie or someone
you all consider to be an outsider on this
forum.
Having said that, I have to know what
exactly constitutes being a "faker" on
this site? I see people talking about it
and I have seen one member saying it about
another member. Or one member saying it
about a couple of other members. I just
don't understand. What I can understand
is if someone is saying they don't have
reproductive organs and end up preggo, or
if someone says they are a man and then
announce that they are due to have
triplets on july 4, etc.
Then I see people that everyone used to
like and used to talk to being treated
differently.
I'm just confused and would like to know
what?

Fakes are just liars, basically. They
aren't really who they say they are. They
make up stories about their lives,
&their "baby" or "babies" that they
don't really have.. They make up a whole
life &live through it on the forum.
&.Sometimes fakes can get away with it
for a really long time.. But eventually,
they get caught when evidence starts to
pile up &you find contradictions to
their stories &things just don't add
up. Sometimes people come on here
&post pictures that aren't really them
or post pictures of someone else's
children saying that the kids are their
own. We're pretty good at sniffing them
out.

When you get to know everyone, you know a
lot of who they are. If they are a faker,
things won't add up over some time. It
becomes obvious.
We are definitely close. We(or shall I
say i) hate when ppl come on here playing
someone they are not.

I guess I don't see the point of coming on
here lying about it? What benefit do
people get from it?
I'm reading more and more about people's
pics getting stolen. I would be wild.
Makes me leary to post online.

That's the sad part, there is no point.
People who fake are completely pathetic.
I don't understand what they gain by
pretending to be someone they're not.
They obviously have sad, pathetic lives.
I'm not worried about people stealing my
pictures. If they do, whatever. They'll
get caught eventually &if they think
my life is so fabulous that they want to
pretend like they're me, then whatever.
Haha! I've found a few people on myspace
& xanga who were using my pictures
&it made me laugh. It's sad
&completely pathetic.
You'd think at the end of the day, it
would make you even *more* depressed when
you look back on your day &think about
how you're pretending to be someone you're
not. I don't see how it would make anyone
feel better.

I wouldn't be so worried about someone
stealing my my stuff, of course I don't
have any pics of myself, as i'm always the
one holding the camera, and i'm not really
into having my picture taken at this
point.
I would be worried about some sick sob
stealing pics of my daughter (and son when
he gets here) and using them for something
nasty.
I would be very depressed if I had to fake
being someone else to make my sad sad life
look good. Christ!

Which is why it is adviseable to watermark
pictures.
This is a public forum - people don't have
to sign up to view it.

People have stolen posted pictures?? I
just learned how to post pictures, now I
have to worry about them being stolen??
What? I really don't want to post on
here again if someone will be stealing my
pics. Do people steal pics and use those
pictures as a made up self??? If that's
true, can't that constitute true fraud and
be subjected to a law suit or something???
I would think so! I would be so ticked.
Also, I do think it's quite sad that
people make up stories - probably for
attention. They are unhappy with who they
are so they make up a psycho-self to make
up a newly invented them. Personally, I
can't understand people actually doing
that. Perhaps they should get into acting
in their local community theater where
they can legitimately play someone else
and get away with it. That is so sad.

Either use paint to make a copy and put
your initials or "logo" on the image.
Or use some other image editting software
to apply your watermark.
Some examples using my "k in a star
logo".

yes, it's true.
Yes, it's true fraud.
Yes, you have the right to persue a case
against the person.
