For those of you who think Chatmaster actually cares about you or this website, consider this.

A user has been posting my picture for over a year, I have sent numerous photos to @Chatmaster. After a year of trying to get action, CM responded with contact the police. I feel that is a bit much, but I can file a claim with Breads local police department, but I am considering contacting his father instead.

Any suggestions? Perhaps from the staff? Maybe CM himself, I am in a bit of a pickle here, and I would prefer suggestions before I act, as this has been going on for over a year, and I would be lying if I feel I might be swayed by bias. Lol.


Edited! XD

If he says contact the police then do it. I’d also tell them you’ve tried talking to the owners here directly and they told you to contact them. When law enforcement asks the owners for additional information they will give it to them.

More than likely they will show up to his door step.

The thing is, what exactly could he be charged with? The police will tell Soup to block him, get in touch with the site owner (which he did) or not come to the site. If he could file for harassment, he's going to never engage with him because when he does, it's no longer considered harassment in the legal sense.

Is online bullying a crime? I don't even know, seems a call to the parents might be more effective.

At this point he is harassing and bullying, which is against the law.
 
@SouporMan

the hell yes you can report them.
1) look up your local pd online. they most likely have an internet crimes division already established. file a report. sometimes you can go to them. sometimes they make you call emergency ( which is stupid , no ones dying) to come take a report. then they get with regional federal authorities and make a case. have your screen shots and proof pre calling. including the response from the person responsible for this website.
2) look up laws in your area, many areas have laws that using and posting your pictures is illegal, some are fines some are arrests and jail time .
3) https://forum.chat-avenue.com/threads/reporting-child-sexual-abuse-material-to-authorities.941872/ <<< this thread is probably the most useful thread this site has seen in a long time. although not a child you can use this thread and its links to get to the right agency to report a cyber crime.
4) MAKE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA'S PRIVATE - i cannot express this enough. do not use personal pictures as your profile pics, change your display name. currently fb is the only platform that you can search up profiles by url ( fb makes profile names part of the url) and if it continues you can go one better and abandon the ones already out there on c/a and create new all private from the get go if friends/family still need to see what your eating for dinner.

it is TIME CONSUMING you may not hear anything for months. and some may become bigger than just your pictures online. this does not mean they arent doing anything if they are slow . and you are free to call and ask about progress. and yes some with not enough info does indeed get closed and goes no where.

If a user has spammed your picture for over a year though, and the website refuses to react, the website should be held responsible.

By your standard, I should be allowed to use your photo found in the forums as my photo, and then spam it in VGC for a year.
 
Users can be banned for disrupting rooms/spam. But the site can't stop evaders. (no one can otherwise evading would never be a topic)

This perhaps isn’t the best advice?….. did he ever blame the site? 🤔
He’s asking for advice, the least we can do is provide, not blame. Most trolls in VGC from my experience as admin there go directly to social media and stalk/search for users and get information and pictures from there. They then go as far as to call users jobs/family members. It’s obsessive and ridiculous.

I can see how calling familly work etc is harrassment, and going to the cops etc makes sense for that. The site would cooperate if asked. I was merely making a general point as OP seemed to be referencing the site- not VGC (or in his poll)

I dont think its blaming anyone to suggest personal responsibility. No one is suggesting anyone "deserves " harrassment. My point was more of the lines of, if you don't want to be mugged, dont walk along down a dark ally in a crime infested hood type thing.

edit first line OP "if you think CM actually cares......." thats referencing the site not VGC

And how does that help him particularly? The damage has been done. That advice is for someone that hasn’t had this done to them.
