A word regarding identity theft
« on: October 19, 2014, 05:52:18 PM »
Everyone,

The practice of impersonating individuals by the use of their pictures and/or real names needs to stop.

This is a serious offense and can lead to lawsuits that can become detrimental to Ron and ultimately our posting experience.

This started with Wes Gasparotto. The individual reached out to us and asked that his name be removed from the forum. Now, we had Alexis Gonzalez and the impersonation through the ENZO handle. Seriously, this is not cool and needs to stop.

Most of the guys being impersonated are NPC competitors that are trying their best to make it within the industry. When you impersonate these individuals and pass your words as theirs, they can get into deep trouble, get terrible placings, not get sponsorship deals and find themselves in serious problems.

Lets be fair folks and stop the nonsense.

Please feel free to discuss and say your part. We'd like to hear your stance on all of this as well.

What if I created a Goodrum mask and body suit and pretended to be him. Would that be okay?

I agree. And here's an old picture of me with a glass almost upside down and part of a thumb raised...I look much better these days.

I totally agree. It's wrong plain and simple. I still don't understand though how it's okay for Chadwick the beta to be able to use a politicians name and her pic and impersonate her. This could upset the real person if someone finds her posts on here etc. It doesn't hurt me as I know it's Chadwick. But I find it hypocritical that it's okay to impersonate someone with a career in politics. I have thought about contacting her so that she was aware of it.

my stance is what it's always been..there are way too many assholes on this site.

i don't envy you guys having to deal with all of the absolute bullshit that goes on here and try to be "fair" about it. unfortunately it doesn't work because the shitheads know they can be the biggest shithead on the planet, and they will more than likely get about ten chances before you ban them.

WOOO

I'm thinking it's a select few who will not change their behavior, regardless of any pleas and warnings.  Most people here just want to post, joke, read some funny stuff, and take look at some ass.  They log off and that's that.

I can tolerate the shit heads and people I don't like because that's life and getbig allows a lot of freedom of opinion. The loose censorship (moderation) make it better here.

Agree some things off limits like posting personal info, impersonation etc.

Being allowed to be a total asshole is the first line in the getbig constitution though.

just keep it to forum profile and forum public knowledge. Ie dont attack someone's real identity outside what they post here or can be reasonably inferred.

Most of us expect some hostility too. Don't know how tbombz or vince g put up with shit they get but that's them. Let's be honest we all love a good fight here.

Isn't  it  Ron's  fault if  he gives stars to anyone without confirming the person's real identity ?

The politican might still not like it. It's a real person being impersonated.
