FACT: you
FACT: you An open letter to management: I have been on this site for two years as a paying member. During that time, I have had to endure your growing pains………small price to pay for a site where I have met many good friends. However, the recent issues presenting themselves to bloggers and other users are not simply inconvenient. They border on the illegal, if not utterly illegal. Fact: names and profiles are sold to other sites without written permission of the profile owner, Fact: blogs can be seen by non members simply by googling a handle ‒ again without the permission of the author Fact: blogs can travel from one site to another to another - again without permission of the author, Fact: faces from here show up on porn sites in other countries and now, FACT: a picture of a group was posted without authorization of the owner of that photograph on a sham profile and such picture and profile could jeopardize those people ‒ none of whom knew or gave permission for the photo to be shown and none of whom own the profile. Our choice to join this site was made based on certain beliefs and privacy was one of them. I am distributing this blog to all of my friends with blogs elsewhere………sauce for the goose yanno?....and perhaps then, they will realize the implications of their actions……..when it hits their pocketbook. addendum.......they cut the title and they took out the mood............grrrrrrrrr You cannot conceive the many without the one. |

I know that blogs can still be googled, group postings can still be seen by the departed member AND I had posted something on Vision Personals and if you read it on Passion the name Vision Personals was switched to Passion. On my other name all this happened and I posted comments due to my experienced on Vision Personals not on any other site. When I emailed about the availibility of posts etc when googled or searched I was told it was the search engines that were the problem and I would have to go to them to get answers. I deleted the other name to lose that part of me and for others not to be able to read what I had said during that phase of my life. Instead now I know I can go look up my comments made in groups and also finding my blog comments left on other blogs. Some revealing things and with suspicions flying at home it didnt' take him long to find these things. Even though all that was written was the thoughts of a woman years ago.

The computer just as the plane has opened the world to all. there will be abuse and misuse along with constructive betterment. what is penned is no different than what is typed, it can not be retracted but can be used and turned around in any way which will profit someone at your expense.

Quite scary for those of us who need to protect our privacy. And yet...I'm addicted to blogging!

precious, As we discussed today, this has been a fact every since I have been a member here, which dates back almost to the beginning. One of the reasons I did not renew was due to the "changes" . My pic, along with fake profiles have showed up on here not once, but twice. The only thing the site did was to delete the profiles; BUT it was up to Me to find out who done it. Of course, I found out the illegal way but I do know who the culprit was. There's more than one way to skin a thief! This person is exactly that; and has the nerve to continue to show "its" face in the room. You have quite extensive offlines love. xoxoxo Hunter After all the sex is gone, there is the mind - Lady Hunter / BAB Copyright © House of Lady Hunter 1998-2009

Methinks corporate opportunism stands in the way of ethics. The blogbug hooks and keeps us all, but over the last two years I have known bloggers leave this site for these very reasons. warm xx

easy .... this is probably not what you want to read but .... when we sign up for ANY site on the internet there is a standard pop up that most everyone just changes to " I Agree" and then clicks continue ... well on Vision Personals one of the things you agree to is ..... "C) By posting content to any public area of Vision Personals, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to Various, Inc. and its members, an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, fully-paid, worldwide license to use, copy, perform, display, and distribute such information, rights of publicity, and content and to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works and other media, such information and content, and to grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. For privacy terms, please refer to our Privacy Policy." i found this simply by clicking on the terms of use heading down at the bottom of the page and it was under the heading "5. Content Posted on the Site/CDA:" so we have ALL actually given Vision Personals permission to use our profiles , blogs, any information we type in the rooms and well us in amy way shape or form they choose ... about our only recourse is to delete profiles pics and blogs and chat elsewhere and we all know this is not going to happen because Vision Personals is the best of all the sites for chatting ... as for fake profiles .. well i remember quite a few fake ones going up the one that bothered me most was called ctans_ghost and made a mockery of someone very dear to me after he had passed away ... fake profiles have been around since before i joined Vision Personals and i am sure they will be around after i am gone from Vision Personals ~mizzy~

These are just a few of the reasons I prefer blogging elsewhere.

At the bottom of each post, there's a line that says "comments" -- just click on it, and you can see and add your own.
