Sexual predatry doesn't appear to happen too often here, and I think it is important to keep recent events contained to a one-off rather than risk hysteria and paranoia.

I think the general warnings and guidelines widely advertised by the internet and by parents should suffice without a glaring point being made on this site.

Of course you could always argue that you can never do enough to deter internet deviants, but knee-jerk reactions to this subject are commonplace in society and the forums warning that 'your private messager might want to terrorise you' could put a lot of new members off.

this is getting like the renob hysteria. We all hated him and wanted to forget. But even months after, his name kept popping up. Can we all leave this thread alone and forget about him?

nicely said.
We can't allow one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch.
Sexual predators are common in many forums..
heres my solution to you younguns..especially females.
Stop locking yourself away in your room while surfing the net and becoming too comfortable with every strange male who pms you.
More than likely..he is not the same age as you..neither are his motives for asking your contact details pure innocence.
Stop being secretive should this happen to you..straight away..tell somebody..especially an adult in your family.

My 14 yr old has a laptop for homework purposes only as i have locked her out of all forums..
if she wants to visit her sites..she does from my computer..in my room ..under my watchful eye..and when somebody asks for her contact details...i jump online and talk to them.

Haven't been here in a little while and I just wanted to say, I liked omcdave. If he was banned, so be it. But to erase all of his posts as if he never existed? Unless it was to regain some server space or something similar, that's a little scary. 'nuff said.

Thats to wipe out the fact that he never existed, as far as this forum goes. And to start anew. For all the things he and Trippin did...it was a very weak punishment.

Both should have been hung up in the town square and severely beaten with stones...till death, IMO.



Anyway, move on people. Just erase these bad memories out and greet the new days in HDC cheerfully.

exposing yourself to underage girls v post erasing. actually, you're right, what a bunch of cold hearted shits. yes, having the emotional scars of internet 'grooming' is bad but pales in comparison to the trauma of fully fledged post erasement. gotta go now and take a shower, i feel violated on daves behalf. you are forward thinking to say the least mona

No....the scary thing is what he and Trip were up to.

I say Damn them to hell.
