Reporting harassing tags and signatures

There is a way to report harassing posts, but there is no way to report harassment in the form of tags and signatures.

Is it possible to make a report button for both tags and signatures?

Disclaimer: all tags posted on this thread will be deleted if I think it doesn't involve the topic on hand. At least I have the power to do that for any topics I create.

So you're mad because some people are mocking/picking on/making fun of you through tags in response to your posts/thoughts/etc on this forum? Dunno if you're worried about being made fun of for what you say on a forum maybe you shouldn't be posting.

Funny thing is unless someone points out the tags in a topic I never read them.

I'm not mad about anything, but this sort of harassment needs to stop.

with the advent of social networking , the posting of images on the internet has become a very real issue. since once you've posted it the image is no longer yours and open to the interpretation of many great artists.
and before you argue what isnt art,, there's in exhibit out right now of a black external hard drive full of stolen information as an art piece.

....Korpg what happened in that "Alexandrite" thread? I know the fact your posting this is because of what was going on in there before the mods hit it. So i'd like to know what happened.

The only problem with your statement is that I never released that picture to the public. The picture was on a private network for my family, which I have deleted since, because of the lack of personal security on that website.

But people who actually take pictures from a private network to alter it for their own personal amusement is slander, harassment, and libel.

I never gave anyone permission to even see my picture, with the sole exception of my family.

I definitively did not give anyone permission to alter my pictures in any way.

Did it get deleted? I don't see anything off topic in the tags yet.

Is this a personal attack at my signature? I'm not sure I understand why. It was a funny image I found on one of the many random forums I visit, and seeing the caption, I immidiately thought of the FFXI forums and the sample size debate from a few weeks ago. There was also a joke about luring the deers with crackers and then eating them when they get close, but I believe such jokes are in very poor taste as it is NOT COOL to make fun of someone based on their weight and so chose this version instead. It's like that awesome LARPS picture posted on Allakhazam with the green arrow sign.

Does it offend you somehow? It's not like it's you in th picture or anything. Even if it was, you uploaded that picture to the internet on the first place so you must have been proud of it.

A certain poster has an altered image of myself on his signature.

Plus, there is no report button for neither signatures or tags for harassment. That needs to be changed.

I have a feeling if that were made possible everyone would report everyone for everything always! Someone would say "Your Garuda is about to kick my screen and I find that offensive..." Anyone can be offended by anything. I always say that ya gotta be able to laugh at yourself, if you can't your taking life and the net waaaaaay too seriously.

Well gl... but I don't think many will support you on this because:

1: many many people like to make sigs that are bad quotes from other posters in this forum (they don't want to lose the ability to do that)

2: many people already don't like you (from what I've seen) and thus won't support you (fyi im not one of those people... I nether like or dislike you)

1) A picture being stolen from a "private" source is an issue with the source.
2) People don't need your permission to alter your pictures, take pictures of you, or even post pictures of you in any public form. Unless it is altered in a derogatory fashion and as far as I know what was done to said picture when it was turned into a meme isn't illegal or derogatory by definition.

Also how is reporting the OP of a topic not the same as reporting the tags themselves since technically the tags belong to the OP and can be edited by the OP's author.

Do not lie sir.

Evidence number 1

Evidence number 2

Evidence number 3

You knew that the picture was me, the picture was created by somebody else and you even stated that that picture was to become your new signature to harass me.

Sad thing is until you cried to have the picture of you taken out of someone's sig I personally had no idea that was you.

you sure? i do seem to remember a little spat about it ALL over KI a while back. so at no point in time was the image ever posted in a insecure forum or site and you ascertain that the only way to have acquired said image was through illegal means?

Just click the post report button for any of that user's post in the thread where it first happened.

That issue has already been resolved.

Somebody still obtained my picture without permission and, although I have my suspicions on who it might be (if I had proof, they would be in jail by now), I have no evidence. However, and I'm sure your BG friends would argue against me on this, any alteration of any media without sourcing the person who produced said media is plagiarism, which I thought BG was against. But that is besides the point.

The point stands, there needs to be a report function for harassing tags and signatures. If people lose the ability to quote others, so be it. If everyone loses the ability to have a signature at all, you know who to blame, and it is not me.
