she is, but if you took the option of the elephant hide sexslave dress, you are going to get fucked up with the customs in Ghana, it is gonna run you another 15 grand or so, and it may take years before she can actually show. The voice of experience. Masterof5ofthemBitches

quote: ORIGINAL: Griswold quote: ORIGINAL: Atavist WTF is up with all the scammers on this site? Yes, it happens on lots of sites. Why aren't they being blocked? The place is crawling with them. Totally bogus profiles, obviously fake. Is there some reason their IP address range or domain can't be blocked? My apologies. I should have gotten with you sooner. I am the VP of Scammer Protocol on CM. I feel I've let you down. As some are aware, the Department of Homeland Security has stopped us from capturing IP addresses. It was something we did arbitrarily up until January of 2006, but the ACLU stopped us. Current our legal department is in contact with the ACLU as well as the Department of Homeland Security and I have processed your comments with them. I anticipate a response within....lemme think now.... A THOUSAND YEARS!!!!!!!! Thank you for your comments. Please consider we have multiple requests on this topic, and they are answered in the order received. HA HA HA. You are too funny Griswold and also very right. As with any Country (except where they decapitate limbs as punishment) The government has again, made very sure that the criminal element doesn't have their rights ,and freedoms, infringed upon. While in return, the criminal infringes of the rights of the law abiding. If you try to obtain his/her IP address, without a court order. You, yourself could be breaking the law and that evidence would be non admissible in court. Leaves me wondering,who is gonna make sure my privacy rights are looked after when that same criminal obtains my IP address, illegally, and then uses that identifiable information to commit more crime? Wish they would pass a law, about passing laws while smoking crack. No offense intended toward the crackheads of course. ~rmi~. Does it really matter that you are on a computer anyways. I find people to be equally dishonest and lacking in social skill on-line as much as offline. ~shrugs~ Darby.

quote: ORIGINAL: Atavist I noticed it was a free site. I've also noticed alot of advertising so one assumes that there's an income stream. I've been on CM for a long time, its a great site, no complaints. I also know that somebody does indeed check profiles (or they used to) when an account is activated. Blocking an IP range, a domain or even a country is trivial, we're talking 10 minutes to do it. Do I care about the site being cluttered with bogus profiles? Not really. Do I care about vulnerable people being scammed by crooks? Yeah. Especially when its easy to fix. It obviously isn`t that easy,or it would have happened.Can you name any site,of any sort,vanilla or otherwise,that doesn`t have botts(trolling programs), money scammers,or men posing as women,etc? Though CM is a free site,I think a better label would be ,"volunteer site".True,someone`s getting an income of some kind.And why not?We have no clue to the actual costs are,in running a site.It took a while before the adverts appeared on CM,and the owners deserve a return on their work,time and investment. The truth is,that all the real work,reading allll the frik`n posts,profiles,etc.,viewing the pix and the "help desk",is done by volunteers. There could be dosens and dozens of volunteers out there(maybe hundreds).To have that many payed staff,would require CM become like alt. dot com,where one really can`t navigate,without a premium(payed)membership.That would suck,and may happen someday.If it does,another free site will fill the void.Just enjoy what you have. I think a big problem,is the sheer numbers(there are millions of scammers out in the world).If someone wants to create a fake profile(or bott program),no matter where they live,or who they are,it can be done.No matter how many blocks or filters you install,there`ll be scammers out there who can get around them. Why?Because it pays to.This is the nature of the "net",so get used to it,and count this as one of the "costs of doing business",so to speak. BTW,there are mostly real people here,with real profiles.Forget about fake profiles,or complaining about them.
