Dunfermline

Although in danger of sounding like a letter to “points of view”, I have to ask:

Why, oh why, oh why, do people still put this spiel at the bottom of their profiles? It’s nonsense, and even the site FAQ states that it’s a waste of data...

I still see lots of profiles with it. I do laugh when I see people either describing themselves as “intelligent” or being “attracted to intelligence”, yet failing to demonstrate the most basic critical thinking skills.

Would anyone care to come back with a defence of this bizarre trend?

I’ll get off my soapbox shortly. There are many faults in the world, many many faults with this site these days, but antipodean academics publishing images of my most intimate parts is not one of them!

(Legal notice... To Sydney Youngblood, Sidney Poitier, Sid James, Sidney from the Bash Street Kids and any bored and horny postgrads at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge: the wink at the end of my post is to ensure I have a defence in law if anyone takes the hump!)

People like to appear interesting and intelligent, when they are as lazy as the rest

If Sydney University want my pics (they don't, I have a pal that work there and she checked) I'd probably need to take some racier ones as mine are all clothed head/upper body shots.

I think I'd be chuffed if an antipodean uni wanted pics of my bod. I may change my profile to reflect this.

Depending on the student, I might be up for a swap!

Because some people are completely stupid. They have seen it on someone who they thought were intelligent.

They’ve obv thought, of this person is doing it then so am I, without even doing any research to if it’s correct or not!

Ohhh there are some stupid threads on here lol.

Agree with you op. The sydney uni spiel is absolutely pointless. Lol. Just outa curiosity has anyone that has this on thier profile ever went and checked, just to be sure those sneaky people from sydney never listened and put up a lifesize poster of your profile on some classroom walls lol.

Haha. I have been known to waste data, but I like to waste it on a case by case basis!

Usually writing handcrafted masterpiece messages for them to be deleted unread.... but that’s a whole other woe is me thread for later!

Indeed. A wise person once told me never put anything online you wouldn’t put on the back of a postcard.

Actually these days it's no longer free to be used and abused, with revenge porn laws someone using /distributing your image gets a lovely stint on the sex offenders register and community service.

Oh absolutely, the new laws in relation to this are powerful, effective and long overdue.

... that said, prevention is always better than detection/punishment.

Unfortunately sydney and other countries dont give a toss about our rules and hence can still do what they like when it comes to using our images. They could trace our profiles and email copies to our friends and families and send a couple of close ups to our nicola sturgeon and the head of police scotland with smiley faces attached and nothing would happen .

I’ve actually been reading into the Sydney thing... (sad tw@t... I know) and it’s weird, it’s dates back years and seems to be an issue across the board of similar sites.

Still no further forward to finding “patient zero”. The poor sod who had their cock pics published on the whim of a rogue ethics committee.

Could have been worse, could of been the class of 2018 new recruits then it would be multiple cock pictures in one go .lol.

I’m still amazed no-one has jumped to the defence of this practice yet! There are still loads of active forum users with this blurb on their profile. They’re either ignoring this, pretending not to have seen it, or are steadfast in their assumed knowledge of international civil law!

If we all know it’s crap and meaningless, then why doesn’t Admin do something about it and just centrally remove them from profiles.

Would free up space on the servers for other ideas and things.

If it acts like deterrent to make people think twice then it's job done IMO regardless of its clout.

Dont think there servers will be close to full yet, just another thing Fab dont need to care about , like the number of fake profiles. Fab could deal with that before worrying about a bit of useless bio on a real profile.imo.
