    I just found out I can view the reports. Evidently me being cheerful and having a positive outlook on life is frowned upon in a thread created for people to b!tch about others. (separate thread)


    Everyone in this thread is cool. No reports. lol :)

    Clearly, you don't care and we're just stirring the pot. I believe that one.

    @1CountryGirl05 - sorry, but you're backpedaling. You started this thread, entitled "OLD photos as profile photos" and you used the word "cheating" in your OP, and now you can't understand why people got all sensitive. So now, all you REALLY meant is that it sucks how that one dude straight-up lied to you.

    I don't buy your backpedal. I also don't care that much. And I don't think you wanted actual explanations, anyway.

    Don't let my legitimate response get in the way of your shameless flirting, though.

    I feel this post kind of says it all and I'm just going to bring it back :)

    I have 4 reports of abuse connected to me now. I wonder if they are from this thread. -_-

    I think getting rid of MFP the first time was the right choice. You're alot of fun but most of these people are a bunch of fake and whiney cry babies.

    They can't take a joke and can't even use their own photos. Or use old ones for "inspiration".

    Sorry, they reported you.

    Bye.

    My fault. You never comments on how nice my eyes are.

    Jerk.

    Also, some people need to maintain privacy in photos that appear publicly because of their professions or for personal reasons.

    I would never think of using a picture that is not me.

    Doesnt matter to me what people use as their profile picture. I'm not on here to hookup with anyone. If they're helpful and humble, I'll add them. Wheather they're 16 or 60, have a cartoon pic up or an artist. I'm not looking at their profile pic to validate anything. I'm just here to lose weight and get inspired. That's all.

    I'm not trying to cheat anyone with my lack of a photo because I'm not after any friends to connect with on here. And I'd only be interested in anyone else's photo if I wanted to stalk them. Otherwise as far as I'm concerned we're all just internet accounts here with a human voice behind them, that's all anyone else is entitled to. You want up to date photos, try a dating site or social media.

    I thought this site was more about fitness than prettiness, so I hide my homely face in my profile pic.

    You wouldn't want anyone to know that you exercise and log your calories....?

    I don't think I've ever spent 2 seconds thinking about what people use as their picture on here. But it would be incredibly creepy if someone used someone ELSE's picture. That's weird. If it's just old or outdated, who cares? I feel like the pictures are a pretty irrelevant part of this site to me.

    There was a guy using a photo of a fitness trainer as himself. The photo was of Marc Fitt. I have numerous examples but this is just one of them.

    To me, it's relevant because that's all we have is a photo. I just want to know who I'm talking to. Haha
    @1CountryGirl05 I completely understand. I've met a few awesome local mfp people and their photos were current. However there were 2 that were misleading af! One girl was roughly 20yrs older and another wasn't the person in any of her pics.

    Passing off pictures of others as yourself is lame.

    But using outdated pictures isn't.

    I don't care about someone's profile pic. On this site it's one of the least informative parts of someone's profile. I'm much more interested in what they have to say. This isn't Tinder. I don't care what people look like.

    If I want to stalk someone on the forums for fitness inspiration then I'll check out the success stories and find someone who has posted pics there.

    In a thread in Forum Feedback, a moderator said while regular members cannot educate other posters on the proper use of the Abuse flag, for misflagged posts we can Flag > Report > Other and let the mods know that a post was misflagged and they will clear the flags they agree are wrong.

    Come on. That is obviously an old picture. Nobody has used that font for at least a decade. I can't believe you're trying to deceive us like that!

    You got me. My dog mauled those poor girls to death... She doesn't touch our chickens now. She gives them a pretty wide berth.
