Magix Club's Forum _ Theft _ Posers

Posted by: Boo Jun 17 2007, 8:46 PM

In my opinion, the worst type of copycat.

I've been dealing with a couple lately, and I'm just at the end of my rope.

Has anyone else dealt with posers?

Posted by: darkar Jun 17 2007, 8:52 PM

dont know what are they??? unsure.gif

Posted by: Anime Princess Jun 18 2007, 5:18 AM

posers are people who pretend to be someone else

Posted by: darkar Jun 18 2007, 7:02 PM

oh i see why would anyone become a poser?

Posted by: P-girl Jun 18 2007, 7:09 PM

To take credit.
For example; I write fanfiction, and someone else goes to another forum, gives him/herself my nickname, spreads the fanfiction, and says things like; Yeah, I'm P-girl, I wrote all this.' They probably do it for the currency of internet: praise.

Posted by: darkar Jun 18 2007, 7:22 PM

oh that bad.how can they be stop? it not good if you pretend to be someome.

Posted by: Connie Jun 18 2007, 10:38 PM

I know Boo! those are just plain wrong

Posted by: Abby Jun 19 2007, 4:50 AM

yeah it really is wrong. I haven't had to deal with it YET and I don't want to and I hope I don't have to deal with it ever. It is so mean that someone takes your work like that!

Posted by: Veronica Jun 19 2007, 4:31 PM

Well i once dealed with that poser Veronica on divastarz.6x.to... well she isn't posing me anymore but before she was so annoying...

Posted by: mightymarty2 Jun 19 2007, 7:05 PM

Never had to deal with any but I think it is a disgrace give credit to the real person, if you want to get praise do domething good yourself

Posted by: darkar Jun 19 2007, 11:09 PM

Yeah!!!!!! I Totally Agree With You.

Posted by: Connie Jun 20 2007, 8:59 PM

Neither have I, I have never face a poser but why would anyone want to be me? maybe in real life butnot online because I dont make good graphics

Posted by: P-girl Jun 20 2007, 9:01 PM

Maybe because of your reputation..... Reputation is another internet currency. Just imagine someone here logging in and claiming he's Johnny Depp..... Sure, we wouldn't fall for it, but hey, if we would, we'd all be like *Squeeh* X3

Posted by: Connie Jun 20 2007, 9:05 PM

Lol I do not believeall those people claiming they are someone famous, on myspace,xanga, and youtube(except Ashley Tisdale she really does have one)

Posted by: Boo Jun 20 2007, 9:49 PM

The poser I'm dealing with has got me all wrong. She took my likes and dislikes from a profile, took my layout from my site, took my graphics *and graphics from other people*, posted my email, said she was me and keeps saying she's me even though I caught her...Funny thing is, she wrote a list of friends while pretending to be me, and trust me, the list was all wrong

I even went on there and said "If you're going to pose as me, at least get my friends right!"

I've had quite enough. I also have another poser, though she's not as serious as the other.

A few years ago when I frequented Final Fantasy Insider Forums; a few girls randomly started hating on me and I didnt know why. Apparently on aother board they went on someone signed up with my name used the same av and sig and they called them rude things etc <___<

that was a hard thing to prove that it wasnt me T___T and I was sooo mad the whole time so it got harder

Posted by: Boo Jun 21 2007, 12:35 PM

Wow, that was mean of them. icon_sad.gif

Posted by: Meru Jun 21 2007, 1:36 PM

It wasnt the girls who pretended to be me. We don't know who it was. But eventually I guess the main girl who the fake Meru was calling names etc, decided to believe me. >_< It made me so mad, to be totally innocent and not be believed, and not have any proof I wanted to hurt something xD

That happened to me once on MSN Messanger. Someone posed as me and said mean thigs to my mom's friend at her job. My mom knew it was not me. So I changed my password and nothing happened again.

Posted by: mightymarty2 Jun 21 2007, 6:25 PM

Few glad they believed you

Posted by: Connie Jun 21 2007, 9:40 PM

Wow! Meru that was soo harsh, they are just pathetic to do that

Posted by: mage jens Jun 22 2007, 10:12 PM

if someone pose u , just go to the mod. of the site and explain it , then he/she would never come ont he site again

Posted by: darkar Jun 22 2007, 10:15 PM

that easy for you to say.

Posted by: mage jens Jun 22 2007, 10:21 PM

yes , so??? its true , what would you do otherwise?

Posted by: Boo Jun 23 2007, 1:54 AM

The poser could very well go to the moderator and say that the person that they posed as is a poser (ugh, confusing.)

There were actually people asking me to prove myself, I was absolutely shocked and taken aback. What was I supposed to say?
I had to make a few backgrounds so that people could see that it was actually me, but for awhile, I didn't know how to prove it to them.

Posted by: bloom-enchantix-charmix Jun 23 2007, 8:08 AM

thats confusing, i hate posers and i'm really happy i havnt dealt with one yet.

Posted by: Veronica Jul 5 2007, 6:54 AM

There's one finnish forum i usually go to. It has a discussion of tv shows and winx has it own page. I have the nickname icy trix. cuz i liked icy when i came there and my nick was icy first, but then it was registered and i could not use it anymore. (you can register or not register, but unregistered u can still write there) and i used icy-trix and then i registered it but i forgot my password and i used icy trix. many people hate me there but many people love too because i know very much about winx and am the best website and graphic maker etc. many times someone writes something with my nick and it has something harsh or spam, but my friends always support me saying that's not icy trix.

Posted by: Dilaraphoenix Aug 3 2008, 11:18 AM

Happily, noone didn't posed as me but somone has posed as some of my friends. They were always posing as them and saying that they're the one they're posing as. they are too mean.

Posted by: Riiana Aug 3 2008, 11:38 AM

I don't think anyone has ever posed as me.

Posted by: dittadulla Aug 3 2008, 5:10 PM

me neither

Posted by: humbu111 Aug 3 2008, 5:57 PM

same here

Posted by: Dilaraphoenix Aug 5 2008, 6:23 PM

And i wish anyone won't pose as anyone. Why they can't be just themselves? Are they that personalityless?

Posted by: Riiana Aug 7 2008, 12:18 PM

LOL
Probably, but they are probaly just thinking that its all a big joke.

Posted by: dittadulla Aug 7 2008, 8:33 PM

or they love anyone's else graphics and wants to be very great and then they pose

Posted by: Music123 Aug 21 2008, 7:38 AM

I saw many posers pretending to be celebs for poularity. Also heaps of people say "I am (celeb's name) best friend!" which is such a lie. Anyone could post anything on the internet.
Why is posing such a trend!
These people should know better and realise that no-one will believe them. If someone says they are some famous person there is like 1 to 1 000 000 000 chance that what they are saying is true.

Posers should be ashamed.

Posted by: P-girl Aug 21 2008, 9:55 AM

I had someone pose as me once. So annoying.... (s)he took credit for my fanfiction.

Posted by: Jahnavi Aug 21 2008, 10:34 AM

Lol, hey, look on the bright side: Your fanfic's so popular that other people wish they were you.

(Although I agree, posers are pathetic.)

Posted by: dittadulla Aug 21 2008, 7:05 PM

and you know, if celebs would join something on the internet, they wouldn't name theirselves "celebrity name and last name" they would probably use nicknames like most people.

Posted by: Jahnavi Aug 22 2008, 2:21 AM

Yeah, the last thing celebrities would want to do on the internet is violate their own privacy.

(I remember J. K. Rowling signed into a Harry Potter chatroom once, as "Squidward", lol.)

Posted by: dittadulla Aug 22 2008, 9:38 PM

lol. then that "Squidward" must have knew everything about Harry Potter =P

Posted by: humbu111 Aug 22 2008, 10:16 PM

Squidward! Ha! Thats like the randomest thing/character I could think of. Wow, I like J. K. Rowling's sense of humor, its funny, creative, random, and smart all at the same time.

Posted by: Tecna 01 Aug 29 2008, 3:23 PM

no I dont like harry putter so much also.

Posted by: Riiana Aug 29 2008, 3:35 PM

LOL Squidward.
Even I wouldnt of come up with a name like that XD

I actually enjoy reading her books, even though they do seem to take long to read but it onl takes me a couple of days.
Can't wait until the last one comes out!

Posted by: dittadulla Aug 29 2008, 7:18 PM

I needed to check the word spelling at Jahnavi's post at every letter to write it correctly xD the last book has already arrived... I haven't read any of the books but I've seen one or two movies... I should go and read it cos I'm feeling curious =P

Posted by: Winx_cutie189 Nov 3 2008, 1:38 PM

Lol.. The topics being Harry Potter now.. XD

There will always be hosers out there Boo. They bother us, but we cannot let them get us too down. We do not need to give them that kind of power over us.

Well, the situation has long since ceased. icon_wink.gif That and I stopped caring, and thus afterwards, no one has really tried to "pose". I haven't had to deal with a situation like the one I mentioned a couple years ago for, well, a couple of years. (Thankfully.) ^_^

Thanks for the helpful words anyway, though. :)

To the other Veronica: Can you Please remove this!! Everyone I want to say that this post is not real because my real name is Veronica
but I'm another girl.
And I've removed your avatar that was from your site, all of this was a long time ago!! People just need to move forward and forget what
happened in the past, and I'm sorry if I ever did offend you in any way, I just really liked your stuff.(Don't get me wrong)

That's sad. Why are these people doing such lame stuff?? Have they got no life???
