Actually that's pretty common on here. Men PMing random women to share their sexual struggles of addictions.
Seriously? When I was active in chat, 2009-2011, like really active (I log on everyday while at work cause it was allowed) I NEVER had this experience. This random guy telling me about his porn problem happened to me only once. This was last year 2015 and I was using my old nick.

Smart members don't share inappropriate details through PM's on the forum. In the situation I described, this all occurred after the member had added females from the forum to his Facebook and skype accounts. It took a lot of patience and shrewdness on his part ( and others) to pull this off. The forum mods had no access to the exchanges. The members that did this weren't technically in violation of the forum rules. I agree it's best to inform mods and to deal with problem members openly, but I can say from personal experience it often backfires. I think that is why many members just put others on ignore. Unfortunately the one thing I learned is to be careful who you add to Facebook or exchange emails with. These situations haven't deterred me in the slightest from looking for Christian friends online, but I'm just more careful now. On a positive note, since I've been contributing only negative stories to this thread, I did manage to become friends with this very nice female member from that forum. After a year of skyping and chatting, we met up this summer and spent a week exploring and sightseeing. So, it's still possible to avoid the creeps and make friends:) Like Seoulsearch said, if something seems off in your communication with another member than it probably is.

Man I am starting to feel really left out here. All I get in chat are foreign girls who are (ostensibly) looking for a boyfriend, but are really looking for a green card.

*Lynx slumps on the couch and sulks while everybody else has all the creeper fun.
You American...you equal greencard (said with heavy third world accent and eyes lighting up)....:D

Yea surprisingly there have also been women here on CC in third world countries who have "ministries" and ask for financial support and like Ugly said when you tell them you don't have money "the magic pm/s or chat stop lol"

It's quite humorous; as amusing and surprisingly appropriate as this thread was, I actually meant to post it in the young adult forum lol

Ok...rrreallly unrelated, but I need to know how to post multiple pictures in a Facebook post so they scroll in one post when you click it? You know what I'm talking about?

Waaaay back, when this was only a chat, someone PM'ed me asking "Wanan cyber?"
That was awkward.

I haven't been around very long, so I've only been contacted by members in a platonic and non-threatening way. I hope I have made it quite clear that I am not interested in any kind of a relationship beyond the superficial "hi, how are you" that I have with folks here on the forums.

After reading this thread, it almost sounds like some people are a wee bit disappointed with the lonely, empty, and isolated feeling of not having enough creepies. :rolleyes: But fear not, nor be discouraged! Everyone gets their fair share in time.

Go to General Settings and disable private messaging to prevent strangers from emailing you.

And should a friend become creepy, delete them from your contact list and they can't contact you anymore. :)

There's all kinds of weirdoes out there in cyber world. Some will stalk & troll you out of jealousy or spite. Or perhaps they are just mentally unhinged, who knows? I was flabbergasted not many weeks ago to see someone out of the blue just start posting pages of snapshots of someone else's past posts to demean them publicly out of pure jealousy. I honestly was stunned to see how violently they tried to destroy the person's character. When I pointed out that this was a form of cyber-bullying, this person grew angry and has been trolling me ever since, criticizing me for just about anything I post. I tried to befriend the individual, tried to add them as a contact, attempted to engage them in forum fellowship, but no dice. So I had to place them on ignore. :p

I've seen too much bullying etc. of people here, especially teenagers to take it lightly. But sometimes in trying to protect people it causes me to suspect that new members are actually trolls or predators. It's not good, it's not right. And I'm sorry for jumping the gun. But given the crap that sometimes goes on here, I have a good reason for being hyper-aware of such things.
