Crying out justice, but seeking out triumphs (iwanttobeasleep) wrote in [info]otf_wank,

Flickr is a website where people share photos of themselves, often with complete strangers.

Nachismo is a photo-sharing member who comes with a harrowing tale. Apparently, someone else on Flickr (Whitman) had some pictures of his daughter posted on a pedophilic site (the original story has been taken down, so no further details). So she creates a petition to make Flickr stop the pedophiles from viewing photos of children on the site. Throughout the comments there is a lot of support, and people calling for the balls of pedophiles on a silver platter.

Flickr should be a safe website for friends to meet new friends and to share pictures: Flickr should not be a playground for pedophiles.


There's also: It's okay to spam and if you don't like it, you're with the pedophiles!

And: I'm sad that my paranoia keeps me from showing pictures of my kids to complete strangers.

Whitman comes in to say that: Flickr accounts should be verifiable. Like Paypal. Even the free ones.

Not to mention: They seem to have a big problem with spamming.

And this last one, because no wank report is complete with someone bringing logic in a tl;dr style.

The Plan:

"Welcome to Flickr. In order to proceed, you must not be a pedophile. There is material on this site that (normal) people may find inoffensive. Enter at your own risk.

I am not a pedophile.

I am a pedophile.
"

I think we also need to move to stop the bestiophiles from getting on LiveJournal and putting everyone's cat pictures to inappropriate uses.

This whole wank reminds me of a quote from Terry Pratchett's Wings, re: US customs regulations:

"Very clever idea, though."

"What is?"

"Asking the questions when people arrive. If anyone was coming here to do some subversive overthrowing, everyone'd be down on him like a pound of bricks as soon as he answered 'Yes'."

"It's a sneaky trick, isn't it," said Angalo, in an admiring tone of voice.

If can't see the pics, it's cause LJ is a h0r.

Actually, you have to take the slash off the end of your URLs. Can't remember how I figured that out, but it'll solve your little red Xs!
