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.

Ya know, my sister has this same issue,

My brother does, too. He's an intelligent man, and yet I have never been able to explain the concept of 'friends locked' as it applies to PhotoBucket, LJ, Flickr etc in a way that he can understand. Even copying and pasting their explanations doesn't work, nor does drawing diagrams. It's just not something he can grasp.

I've had to accept that it's the same for him as when he tries to explain to me how to wire in a ceiling rose light fitting. I just don't get it.

I'm like that with cars. I don't get anything about engines.
