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?
dont know what are they???
posers are people who pretend to be someone else
oh i see why would anyone become a poser?
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.
oh that bad.how can they be stop? it not good if you pretend to be someome.
I know Boo! those are just plain wrong
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!
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...
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
Yeah!!!!!! I Totally Agree With You.
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
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
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)
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
Wow, that was mean of them.
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
Few glad they believed you
Wow! Meru that was soo harsh, they are just pathetic to do that
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
that easy for you to say.
yes , so??? its true , what would you do otherwise?
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.
thats confusing, i hate posers and i'm really happy i havnt dealt with one yet.
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.
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.
I don't think anyone has ever posed as me.
me neither
same here
And i wish anyone won't pose as anyone. Why they can't be just themselves? Are they that personalityless?
LOL
Probably, but they are probaly just thinking that its all a big joke.
or they love anyone's else graphics and wants to be very great and then they pose
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.
I had someone pose as me once. So annoying.... (s)he took credit for my fanfiction.
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.)
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.
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.)
lol. then that "Squidward" must have knew everything about Harry Potter =P
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.
no I dont like harry putter so much also.
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!
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
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.
..........^^^^^^
WHAT?
i was going for milk
I go for wet washing powder xD
That's sad. Why are these people doing such lame stuff?? Have they got no life???
