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.

After reading about just another bloke's sending of IP addresses to the FBI, this popped into my head. Aided and abetted by [info]littlebitca, of course.

"Jones! JONES! It's your turn, dude."

"No way! I opened the damn email last week, it's Smith's turn!"

"nuh-uh. I'm not going through eighty-five IP addresses, seventy-five of which are his damn wife logging into their Flickr account from work again! NO!"
....

"There's doughnuts. With chocolate sprinkles."

"Not even for rainbow sprinkles and creme filling. No. Don't we have interns for this kind of stuff?"

(in background)

FBI agent on the phone: "Dude, stop telling your friends when you post new photos and they'll stop looking at them." (listens) "Well, then, stop telling your Aunt Margaret that you've posted new pictures. Sir, I am not going to go and arrest 'some guy in Baton Rouge' for clicking on a photo link. No sir, I'm not. Yes, sir, that's your right. Sue me!"

"The last intern ran away screaming something about how maybe living in a cave with no electricity wouldn't be so bad. Now just open the email."

"No. Not gonna and you can't make me -- urk! Hey! Leggo of my hand. Don't click on it -- oh crap."


(of course in my head, Smith is now McKay and FBI sergeant/head of stoopid people guy is Sheppard)
