laurengreg 0 #1 May 6, 2003 A friend of mine recently asked me if I posted here because he saw my picture here. I would like to know how I can get it removed. I have never posted here and no of no one who does. I have contacted the "user" but no reply. What can I do now? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scrumpot 1 #3 May 6, 2003 So, where IS your picture? ...I'd like to see it! Just being agitating/"tweaking"... and as I've just learned I MUST do (in order to be a good DZ.com-'er)... be a POST WHORE! Hope you are successful with your endeavor. -Grant edited for spelling -DOH! coitus non circum - Moab Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyKev 0 #5 May 6, 2003 That's pretty odd....did you actually see it? Maybe it's someone who just looks like you. I can't imagine there's many dz's that don't have at least a couple people frequenting this site. You'd think someone using a fake pic would get busted by someone who knows them.

laurengreg 0 #6 May 6, 2003 I thought my friend was bullshitting, because he asked when I took up skydiving. He told me about it and it is most definitely me. I am still in shock about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildblue 7 #11 May 6, 2003 I knew it! Jessica is actually hideously deformed, and stole someone's picture to use as her own. You're not fooling us anymore you ugly... oh wait... no personal attacks?

Scrumpot 1 #15 May 6, 2003 Then "out" them! Tell us who it is. If you have "warned" them, and you are 100% (that's ONE HUNDRED PERCENT) sure it is your picture & not theirs, then that is despicable, and they deserve the personal shame and embarrasment they would receive in your making this known. I would give them a deadline stating that you were gonna do this first, and get an acknowledgement from them, than allow them the time to comply. ANother idea if you do not like the confrontational type approach would be to write to one of the moderators and ask them to intercede, if you feel strongly enough about this matter (as you apparently do).coitus non circum - Moab Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scrumpot 1 #18 May 6, 2003 P.S. ... I know that my picture attached to my posts are just TOO SEXY & SKY-GOD-LIKE to be probably true too, but they are... yup, that's me... in all my :::ahem::: glory! Anyone else out there wanting to claim it as their own, be my guest.

SkymonkeyONE 4 #21 May 6, 2003 Actually, there are quite a few people on the boards who have ficticious avatars. That punk Lou Diamond is the WORSE for it! BWAHAHAHA! The dude that keeps putting Craig Girrard swoop pics cracks me up too, but that's besides the point. That punk, Lou Diamond, is a menace to society! Chuck Your friendly neighborhood moderator.

sarge 0 #22 May 6, 2003 Quote It seems like this should be illegal or something! Ok, more to the point was it picture of you that you owned? Or a snapshot taken of you by some stranger? You have special rights to privacy if you are not a public figure, celebrity or prominent in the public eye. If your image is used in some profitable endeavor of another then you have rights and recourse. If the image is used in a damaging way, that can be substatiaed, then you again have rights and recourse, ie: given the former two points were non-concensual. Lastly, if your image is used and in a manner to be assumed as the identity of another to decieve others in the course of legal business affairs or in obtaining additional documents or contracts or other feduciary obligations (readers digest version) then well it moves from civil to criminal liability...
