Do you share pictures of others?

In my time at Lit I have passed along a picture of myself to about 15-18 people. Some are considered friends, some are people I used to talk to, some were people that I trusted and happened to exchange pics with.

There are also many people I would consider some type of casual internet friend but which pictures have never come into play and probably never will.

Even in the pre-hanns days when Lit was perceived as more secure (even though it wasnt any more secure) I was not one to pass along pics. And my pic has never been posted to the board.

On two separate occasions my picture(s) were exchanged between two Litsters without my knowledge. needles to say I wasnt amused upon finding out.

On a third occasion a Litster pleaded and tried to convince someone who had my pic to share it with them. This person was kind enough to lemme know and to not sahre the pic. But my respect for the pleader dropped like a stone and I still have issues with him/her.

Now, pics are not something I care to share with others if I happen to have them of Lit people. Some gleaned fromt eh board, some exchanged, but none passed along. I dont think I have the right to do so.

Does anyone have any thought on pic swapping that involves the pics of a third party?

Have you done it? Do you think its ok to do?
Has it been done to you?
 
If someone share's a pic with me, no I do not pass it back to anyone else, unless the first person says it's all right.

and, well, I don't pass my own picture out, I have threads dedicated TO them. ;)
 
You never know for sure if people are sharing ANYTHING behind the scenes or not. PM's, pics, or just general info. Just because someone says they aren't sharing it, doesn't mean that aren't really sharing it at all.

It hasn't knowingly been done to me, I haven't done it at all, and I think that when you share something in "confidence" then it should be kept that way to the next person.
 
This is definately a violation of trust between two people. If I give my pic to anybody it is intended for them only. If I wanted that third party to have my pic I would give it to them.

As for the third person pleading for the pic, if they wanted a pic then they should have asked you.

Just my 2 cents :)
 
I have never done it nor would I do it without that persons permission. They trusted me enough to share and I couldn't betray that just to show another. If the other person wishes to see they can ask for themselves.

As to my knowledge it hasn't been done to me, bta unless one of them told me I'd be surprised to find out.



- oh I did once have someone automatically add my picture to his website. He sent me the link and I was surprised to see myself. I didn't care for the picture because I don't like my glasses and I was wearing them in it.. and I nicely informed him that it would have been polite had he asked first. I didn't have a huge problem with it because I have other pictures already up on three separate website pic pages.
 
Like so many other things that people will say they're against and don't do...picture swapping, like PM forwarding, is rampant here and always has been.

Time and time again I've see people post indignant denials of behavior I have evidence of in my inbox, sent to me by another.

Hanns has been instrumental in exposing that very bit of hypocrisy by posting the gossip he receives from the "friends" entrusted with the material.

My guess is that Hanns doesn't hack people's shit....he receives it in plain brown wrappers like a reporter at Punch would.

In fact for that reason...he might be the most trusted poster here.

That is bad, people should think about privacy and permissions before passing pictures.

How many people do the good, right and honorable thing Offline?

Right.
 
I think it's foolish to assume it'll never happen. Simply don't post your pics if you are afraid of some one using them.
 
the idea bothers me. I would not give out someone's pic, unless I had their permission. I don't give mine out, often, but I'm really liking this week of original art avs - it's great fun.

that is part of why I wouldn't give out any pictures of myself, to anyone, that I would be embarrassed by, if they went further. Or, if they were used falsely - as in, by some sleezy guy, on a bi-women's board, to claim to be a woman, and spy... I have heard of that, and don't like it, either.

If anyone really wanted to track me down, I bet I've given enough info about myself, over all my posts, that they probably could. I'll take my chances.

Probably right but we should try to be a little more responsible citizens, but as you said who knows what happens offline?
 
very few people have seen my pictures i prefer if people don't even mention if they have seen me
 
Angel, of course Lit is held to no higher standard than real life, but the parameters are different. What is valued here is different than in real life but you make an excellent point.

Huskie, the whole first post makes clear that I'm talking about pics that were not posted to teh board.

Does this mean that you're never posting any naked pics?
 
"Does this mean that you're never posting any naked pics?"


Never say never... but its VERY unlikely.

What would it take to tempt you? hehehe
 
LMAO at Huskie - c'mon, did you really think that would encourage me?

Bknight - tempt me? hah. I really don't think you could. I don't feel the need to post naked pics of myself, for everyone here to either bash, or go, oh, of course, you're beautiful.

I've written a couple of mediocre stories, and I don't have a link to them in my sigline, because, well, that's just not my style. If people want to go looking, then - they are welcome to look, and read, and say hello, and what they thought. I live for myself, not for the opinions of others.

I like my body. I enjoy it, and I enjoy other people enjoying it, too, in person. Pics? Just not my thing.
