Flashr
I get an email out of the blue "JoeNobody has added you as a contact on Flickr". Now, I don't know this person, so I assume "cool, someone who likes my pics" and go and check out their profile.
Then the warning signs start. All of their other contacts are trannies too, like they've been working their way methodically through the trannyflickr group and adding everyone they come across.
The second warning sign is that JoeNobody has added me as a friend, when they've never even met me. In most cases there's only one reason why this type of person does this. I click on their photo stream. Yep, it's full of pictures of their cock.
Thanks, loser. If I'd wanted to see pictures of that I'd have asked. What you've done there is "cleverly" got round Flickr's offensive pictures policy by making your sad pasty full-frontal pics only visible to "friends". So that the whole world can't see your last-turkey-in-the-shop impressions, just a "lucky" few.
Well done, you're blocked. I'm off your friends list. I can't stop you looking at my pics, but you'll have to make a purposeful visit rather than my new ones turning up in your contacts screen. The main thing is I won't be able to see your pictures any more, not that I ever ever wanted to.
If you want to show off your cock to random strangers, you'll have to go down the park with the rest of the flashers.




*waits for Becky to block me for flashing messy makeup* ;)
Flashing is illegal and just because this joker chooses to do it to trannies does not make it any less wrong, and just because Becky is a tranny doesn't give her any less right to complain.
I'm hopefully not seeming prudish. There's a place for nudity in all forms, even on Flickr. I think that Flickr should have tighter controls in place to stop blatant willy-waving stuff.
But at the same time, perhaps it's better to leave the line where it is, rather than re-draw it and risk ending up on the wrong side.
Is it just me, or does Flickr seem to be turning into a breeding ground for tranny chasers and girl chasers in general? Every time I get added to someone's list who has their 'nob out' (I love that, and I will overuse that phrase to the best of my ability), their profile always reads something like: Male, love to party, blah, blah... and most of the time, they don't even have any photos of their own - just a tank full of favorites and contacts.
I personally think this has a lot to do with Flickr being (optionally) tied into the Yahoo 360 profiles.
Ok, down from my soapbox.
Why anyone would think showing rather poor photos of their willy on Flickr (or in my inbox) is going to impress, I don't know.
I hasten to add that there are some incredible photographers on Flickr who take the naked male form and produce art. But the guys we're talking about here sure don't fall into that category!
I hadn't appreciated that the 'block' option gets you off their friends list so thanks for that tip Becky. I was fretting that people might see me listed and think I actually was a friend of these strangers.
While on my soapbox, can I just say that I'm just as annoyed by those profiles without photos on them. Why join Flickr if you aren't going to join in and share? It seems to be totally missing the point to me.
And just screams 'creepy sad bloke'.
OK rant over, back to normal service...
Forgot about the block option.. will start using it
That said, I couldn't care less if they did add me to their contacts/ friends/ lovers list. There are more important things in my world to get flustered about. Some saddo knocks one off about me in a skirt and heels? Enjoy. You'll never meet me or talk to me IRL, so fill your boots. You may as well be on Mars.
Naturally your mileage may vary.
I'm sorry. Really. It was late, and my eyes were blurry, and I thought it was just another one of my stripey pictures. But in the morning, I realised what I'd posted, and deleted it as quick as you can say "May offend"
Ive had the wanger-flashers as well, didnt notice if they added as friends or not, just as frequent are the female wannabee- porno-stars that add to your list.
:(
Goes off to think long and hard about my look!
The only worry is that their flashing in cyber space doesn't actually lead to it occurring in reality and an escalation into an assault.
How topical I thought, as we'd only been discussing this the other day on Beckys. Had a look, and as expected found lots of pix of a dodgy trannie having sex with lots of rather ugly men. Just hitting the 'block' button when I realised the trannie was actually a guy who I'd chatted to once at Trans-Mission!
Gross.
And even grosser, is that they had the most lovely, supportive partner with them that night. I wonder just how supportive she'd feel if she saw some of this stuff?
Well each to their own, I guess.
