Status: offline 		not sure if this is a repost, or not necessary, but I do it every post, so I thought maybe others might need it. Forgive me if it's not needed or in the wrong place.

when you see a profile with a picture, open a new browser tab and go to 'images.google.com' (without quotes) and then click and drag (works in netscape) the picture from collarme to the new tab and put it in the upload picture part of google images. that will search the picture and in 99% of the cases where the picture looks too professional, it will find the real person and expose the scammer / fraud / idiot posting fake pictures.

If everyone does this and then reports the users who post fake pictures, maybe we can turn CM back into a nice place to hang out and not a hive of scum and villany....

just my $.02 anyway.

Thanks.

But if the picture looks profiessional, it is professional.


contact me on my cell (text only) or yahoo so we can talk more better, wastes less pixels, we can talk more better right the fuck here.

And it is around the millionth repost on this site, fyi.

Fakes. Yep. Please give it a rest.

There are also many beautiful women on this site with professional photos done of them. Those photos can be located on private blogs, professional sites (dommes mostly), sites like deviant art and photographers sites.

Just because you see a photo on a web search doesnt necessarily mean they are fake, even the professionally done ones.

Status: offline 		While I would agree that the advice of checking a profile pic against google images/tineye/whatever is good on a personal level, as far as I know, that isn't the criteria to report another person's pictures as far as the site is concerned. Since you as another member here don't own the copyright to the image you are reporting, you don't have a claim that the other member can't post it.

I could be wrong about this and if a Mod comes along to correct the above, I'll be happy to hear it. However, to the best of My knowledge, the only reporting for stolen photos has to meet a certain criteria, and if it's not yours, you won't fit the parameters.

And the stuff you wrote....old, old, old news.

Correct; here is the procedure for reporting stolen photos: http://www.collarchat.com/fb.asp?m=4532237

...You cannot report photos on behalf of another person. Please direct the person you are concerned about to this page.

Thank you very much for the input. Since the REAPs and ANTI-REAPs have gotten so much press on another site, I've made an additional effort in having folks sign releases in regard to posting certain shots. Basically, I've been confirming permission of the other party to show the work, etc. I hope I am on the right track with this.

I have a couple of times seen pictures of people I know on profiles that obviously weren't theirs. I let my friends know about them.

To the OP: If I'd wanted to work on the bunco squad, I'd have become a cop. Since I rarely even look at profiles, other than of those who post in the forums, why would I want to go to that effort?

Status: offline 		This was all new to me, but I like fake profiles. To me the internet is at least 70% assuming another identity. Rather than use the Google photo-upload method, I like to use the F2F protocol, sitting down mono-a-mono. The last person I met off CM was Luckyalbatross at a Mexican restaurant. It was very memorable, but then she packed up and moved to TX and shortly thereafter abandoned the CMMB altogether.

But back to fake profiles, I support'em 100%. The internet wouldn't be the same without'em.

I'm not in the habit of agreeing with cloudboy, but for a change, I kind of agree with this. Although sitting down mono-a-mono, is a good way to wind up with a case of mono.

He lived in New York City and was not the person who wrote me....I saw his email address on one of the links from TinEye and let him know someone was using his pic. He wrote me back, thanked me and offered to send me his book he wrote but I wasn't interested in it or giving a stranger my address....He reported the fraud to collarme and they took the profile off the site.

Welcome to the interwebz!

Just sit right back in your comfy chair
Right in your very own house
Head toward that little icon on your screen
with your very handy mouse
Bill Gates was a mighty intelligent guy
creating what we love most
It became a global phenomenon
from coast to coast (*2)

The viruses started e-mailing us
Outlook express was tossed
If not for the genius of Ctrl-Alt-Delete
Then windows would be lost (*2)

We finally got to the sight we wanted with nothing to demise,
With Collar Me, and Google too
Alta Viiiiiista and Yahooo
The pop-up ads,
You're the millionth visitor to this special site
Here on internet isle!
