That's upsetting. It's so hard to find people in the appropriate age-range, especially zombies.

Recently watched a program about "Catfish" Posters; people who pretend to be someone they are not even cross gender and it really made me wonder how many times there are people out there that just do it as a form of "entertainment"? I generally figure if some one is not getting serious about communicateing in person or at least on camera (which makes lieing MUCH harder) after a reasonable period they are this kind of on-line creep and ditch them but wonder how many of these "catfish" are in the pond? Or "sock puppets"...as they are sometimes known as. "Trolls" are a more familiar term. Created mainly for entertainment i think, because it amuses them to post shocking questions and responses to questions purely for the results they get back. Ha!...some have even gone to the trouble of giving themselves a title of "Transactional Expert" Unfortunately, there is no way to eliminate these bothersome creatures in a forum, but if they contact you, the only way to ensure they are genuine is to get them on cam or phone. Guaranteed they will disappear very quickly if they aren't genuine. Some are quite entertaining to mess with, whilst others are just a pain in the arse and aren't amusing at all...although they are under the misconception that they are. Oh yeah...some will create fake profiles to troll their own well know profile on a forum as a 'wingman' or 'wingwoman' to create a false belief that they are 'popular'...which i find rather disturbing, if not entertaining. |
