    Default OK, I can't name names for anyone, but. . .

    Particularly irksome to me is anyone who bullies women (or children or animals, for that matter), as many of you already know. Similarly, anyone who harasses women is someone I would consider a bully.

    Threatening to post pictures of someone here because a bully believes she would be regarded as unattractive by the general population of Khyber (and abruptly made unpopular, thereby) is an empty threat and I've urged her to ignore the threats and to report any harassment to the administrators of the sites she referenced to me.

    What impact would the appearance of an active player here have on your impression of them as a player? Please indicate that you, like me, cannot be affected in your opinion of other players based on their picture(s), if someone were to post unflattering real life pictures of a prominent player. This is not really her concern. Her concern is for the harassment.

    A little context:

    While the Turbine servers were down, some who had active Facebook memberships received periodic updates from Turbine on a page, there. Among the waiting players was a friend of mine whose character names someone guessed and posted, late in the day.

    Someone else following that thread has used his Facebook Account to copy pictures from Facebook of my friend and has threatened to post them here, if she won't unBlock him (he used a friend's account to send this message to her). She placed that Block on his messages to her on that first day, when she was made uncomfortable by his messages to her.

    I've told this friend that neither Facebook nor Turbine would allow her to be harassed, but she remains worried. Please reassure my friend.

    ANyone who would dissasociate themselves with someone based on looks is too shallow to concern yourself with.

    My only question is why would you share images with millions of strangers on facebook but be afraid/ashamed of the pictures to be exposed to friends and people you know in DDO?

    And it's a good question. If you don't want your image to be accessible to anyone that can work out your name, don't put it on Facebook.

    Default It's about the threats, not the reality, I think.

    She has pictures posted here, already. She's just uncomfortable with the attempts at bullying.

    Nothing disarms a bully faster than "Go ahead and do it"

    If for some reason he does actually post em, I imagine it would be grounds for a forum ban.

    Yes exactly. Websites of such nature as facebook and myspace, whatnot, are of dubious benefit to anyone...

    And I feel for your friend who (seemingly) is not secure enough in her self image? confidence?... to allow the utterings of fools, cowards and ignorant people to get under her skin.

    I don't care who is, what was said, or what anyone looks like. Post pictures to you are ashamed of then mebbe you know who's problem that is.

    Regardless of it all. NO ONE EVER deserves to be ridiculed, harrasssed, badgered, threatened, followed or touched.

    so take it the right way when I say to you, tell her to grow a thick skin, nobody is ever liable to do anything anyways.. and ignore the creiten as he so richly deserves.

    he just isnt worth your time of day!

    Default Don't Worry

    Report said jerk to the proper powers that be. Do not lose much sleep over it though because if they actually do post your pictures then it will that much easier to take the proper actions against them.

    Tell her not to worry most people here wont care what she looks like anyways, for most here she gets more attractive just because she shares a hobby, anyone who gives trouble should be banned from here and facebook, myspace, and the human race.

    This thread is the best troll bait for a while.

    Let me get this straight.

    1. Someone posts photos of themselves on the DDO forums.

    2. Someone squelches Someone Else.

    3. Someone Else threatens to post photos of Someone, which have already been posted.

    4. Mithran gets out the essence of troll, doses up a bit of roadkill and throws it on the Khyber forums.

    Sounds to me like some people have sand in their ******s about not much at all.

    Okay, I laughed so hard that I dropped my open can of soda on my dog, who was summarily attacked by the tongue of my other dog.

    I now have two sticky dogs, one sticky carpet, and no drink. Bravo, sir!

    hmm....?
    as in the facebook profile of DDO as a product and we players become "fans" to it?
    that one?
    there're reasons why you don't put "interesting" pictures in your facebook profile :P
