This morning I woke to discover someone who I reported as a possible scammer had posted 'feeling out' images of children.
I love this site and the freedom to talk to like minded people but there has to be a limit.
Although I chat here in reasonable anominity, I do need to consider my professional standing.
I genuinely do not want to leave but I am begining to wonder if this is a good idea.
I am very concerned about the presence of scammers but paedophiles take it to a whole new level. I do not want to be associated with that.
If @Admin does nothing, then not only will I leave, I will make sure my friends and family on other social media know why so they can avoid as well. I agree with you, 100% unacceptable. Is the profile still listed on the scammers page?
I think so...btw whats the doctorate in? How is it going?
@Amisja I am ABD. Hospitality and dietetics administration, food safety and defense specialization.
@DoctoralZombie Oooh sounds interesting. I am researching T1D and personality disorder
@Amisja Right on!
I searched all groups and cannot find "scammers"
I should explain. I initially outed this character to the scammer group. Later when I came in I read from the senate group how this character had posted images of children in a group posting pics of 'sexy women'. My concern is that as a university lecturer I certainly do not want to be associated with anything where that is seen as the norm. As a nurse, it is illegal for me to knowingly witness criminal or abusive behaviour and not report. I do not want to report the site to Ceop but it seriously worries me. I am not trying to be a drama queen but having worked with paedophiles, I know how they work. Posting 'innocent' pics and saying things like 'I love babies' is very telling.
Please type the exact name of the scammers group ...I searched the whole list none by that name
I think that post was made in error. I haven't seen anymore posts like that anywhere.
@Admin should not only removing these people from the site but reporting them to the authorities. It’s thier responsibility once they come in possession of such content.
I haven’t been as unfortunate to see such disgusting content and would report the same. I hope admin does as it should.
Any place you go on the internet or even in real life will run the risk of having pedophiles or other truly awful things. I don't quite understand how you feel this reflects on you. It isn't a pedophilia site we are on. Is this person contacting you? I would definitely report though and possibly to law enforcement.
I share your feeling incompetents in charge kick innocents out and let perpetrators stay in....but it takes honest Atheists in here to be good citizens helping our cybercops improve and reverse mistakes
