ORIGINAL: AthenaSurrenders I've always thought "anyone who looks like that, has to be fake!" I realize you're joking but you have to realize that what I'm talking about has NOTHING to do with HOW the person looks, nor their age. It's all about pictorial proof that the profile photos are commonly found on the web (usually in complete porn spreads, but not always). I think NuevaVida's response shows that she actually understood the question- and her assessment seems to be a logical possible explanation of the stated phenomenon. quote:
ORIGINAL: LafayetteLady What I'm telling you is that the age range of those particular profiles fall within the age range of female profiles that are in one way or another scams. Again, if you stop looking for girls barely legal you might not see as many fakes. I will first, again, point to NuevaVida's answer, which shows she both understood and answered the question well. Age is not a factor. Neither is anything said in the profile itself. All that matters is the profile picture is found all over the web. And, the observation that this seems to be reported mostly for the Silicon Valley - more so than elsewhere. That's the observation we're trying to explain. Since age has nothing to do with it (there are 50-year old female profiles from San Jose also reported), your argument about age doesn't seem to be tenable. Sure, many profiles with stolen pictures may be of younger people - but a technical image search doesn't even look at age, nor what's in the profile itself. It's just an image search. quote:
ORIGINAL: AthenaSurrenders VideoAdminAlpha is the big boss of this site in terms of mods and admins. if you think she is not thoroughly familiar with the collarmefakes website you are being a little bit naive. Your logic that "she's the boss, so she understood the question" seems to fall flat on introspection. Any reasonable person would have to conclude that AthenaSurrenders' statement is incorrect because no search shows AthenaSurrenders' profile photo reported at the link I had posted. Her profile "is" found in the section that I'm not even talking about; so it would be pretty clear to a reasonable person that she didn't understand the question, nor did she visit the aforementioned link (most likely), because had she done so (as others clearly did), she would have stood a chance of understanding the actual question. If you want to then throw in a "reasonable doubt" that she actually did understand and answer the question, then you would be correct: If she had a mythical unnamed shadow profile photo which was, in fact, what she was talking about - then - yes, - you have found a loophole in my logic. However, I was never on an OJ jury, so, I am not one who believes in made-up stories to explain someone's actions. To prove this point either way, simply point me to the mythical profile PICTURE (not the profile - but the PICTURE purported to be of the profile owner) and I will personally run the search to logically determine whether or not that profile picture has been reported as being stolen from various provable places on the web. quote:
ORIGINAL: AthenaSurrenders even if someone pops up on tineye it doesn't prove fakeness - it can be a clue but some legit members here are models and cam girls and do have photos everywhere. Again, you create a fantasy world to fit your pre-conceived notions - and you won't even LOOK at the logic of what someone else is trying to patiently explain to you because it just doesn't fit your concept of the world. I realize the forum in question is badly named the "Tineye Section" (most likely because Tineye predates Google reverse image search); but that's as far as Tineye goes since all the proof shown in those threads appears to be from Google and not from Tineye. However, that is a minor point which I only bring up because you don't seem to have clicked on the actual links to look at the actual proof shown. To directly answer your fantasy case, of course someone CAN be so incredibly popular that everyone else on the planet is posting porn sites full of their picture spreads, and they're so popular that people are even putting their photo on DVD covers, as some of these photos are. But the chances of that are so slim that I have to question your logical thought reasoning process. Please never accept a position on a jury. quote:
ORIGINAL: AthenaSurrenders Would you like me to go on the site and get you listed? Hell, I can do it here: As an example, I reverse image searched the main profile photo and the human photo of this user: http://www.collarme.com/photos/255948.jpg & http://www.collarme.com/photos/255948p02.jpg The latter did not show up on Google image search while the former clearly is found in a hundred different web sites on the net. For example, the winking picture is often known as the "killer bunny" or "killer rabbit" which shows up on commercial and non-commercial sites galore: http://www.butterfunk.com/image-185/killer+bunny.htm http://www.glitter-graphics.com/graphics/432906 http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/anime%20bunny Regarding AthenaSurrenders' comment of "Would you like me to go on the site and get you listed?", again you show that you can't or won't understand. I'm trying to be patient by explaining to that you'd have to show pictorial proof. And, if your pictorial proof was that killer bunny picture, nobody would ever take you seriously. If you looked further at the said profile and then chose the one actual human picture in that profile, you'd still never be able to show proof. So again, nobody would take you seriously. I'm sorry to have to say that. I hope I'm not too blunt but I'm trying to be nice in saying that you missed the point because you can't just manufacture the pictorial proof just by saying it. You have to show the proof (as I just did by way of comedic example). GOING BACK to the original question: I think the logic proposed that the reason many stolen photo profiles are from the San Jose area is simply that someone from the San Jose area is "cleaning up" that one locale. By way of experiment, I'll gladly try that approach on any reasonable zip code if any of you want me to run that experiment for YOUR zip code. That way, we can compare results and learn something new in the process without our pre-conceived notions clouding our judgement.
