I don't know why I did this but I went through the entire 28 pages just to see whos pictures they posted. I don't even understand Spanish but you can just tell that they are being mean. I really, really, really don't understand how they can feel good about taking pictures off of this website and picking them apart. It just makes me so sad but mostly REALLY angry.

What a horrible thing! At least there are a few members on there, such as Sash and Olympia, that feel this is wrong.

Well.... what can I say that hasn't been already

1. They just don't understand the purpose of this forum, they cannot understand some people do this for fun, and for showing others.

2. I have never seen people so TALENTED and BEAUTIFUL as I have seen here @ specktra.

3. Ignorance is the key of this matter, and really really bad manners. The Internet only makes this grow, as everything is widly available and free.

I have never done a FOTD myself or posted pics (at least yet), as I am not as talented and patient with the picture stuff

So, to the gals that make my days brighter posting your amazing stuff, please keep to do so and ignore this at all

what sad little internet trolls.

its not a spanish thing so do not think that, i had this happen to me along with other girls on another forum(english speaking and freaking MEANER then any1 ive ever met, we were made fun of for being ''dumb'' girly girls) .

anyways i think this thread should be deleted or maybe its a good warning and should stay. when i went thru this b4 it turned into a war between the 2 sites so try not to let that happen atleast.each seen the threads on each others sites and went at it. and it was no longer fun 2 post for fear of being harassed. (those girls will def prob see this 1 and get meaner).

double

What a bunch of bitches (the majority, anyway).
It must be crushing for celebs who experience this level of criticism all the time, on a much more public scale.

Still, i'm among those who think this shouldn't have been posted. I wouldn't want those talented and beautiful members featured to be disheartened from showing their skills by small minded idiotic people.

If the FOTD section was members only, it would be beneficial in the sense that it would be easier to know who was responsible for stuff like this, and it could be dealt with easily and effectively. And i sort of hope that nobody would be desperately stupid enough to actually sign up just to steal pics and write derogatory things about them.

The FOTD subforum is members-only already. It has been for quite a long time.

oh, so nothing else can be done? like, disable right click?

even if u disable right click they can hit ''Print Scr"" on their keyboards and capture whatever their viewing. theyd have to create/upload their own image out of that though so it would be a hassle to steal a photo. only a nutcase would go through all that trouble just to make fun of some1. so it would help.

There's only so much that can be done from the server side to prevent image theft. Ultimately you rely on the goodwill of strangers and the knowledge and understanding that once you upload an image to a location where it can be indexed/reproduced/searched/otherwise found it becomes more or less public domain and there's little you can do to protect it from people who might want to make fun of you.

It's just a broader, more international version of taking pictures from your highschool yearbook and drawing moustaches on the girls you didn't like.

I think if you're using Mozilla, it can overide right-click disablers. So it wouldn't be very helpful either since a lot of people use Mozilla Firefox as their browser of choice.

If it's any consolation at all, the tutorials on Specktra get a ton of link-backs to other sites, and almost all that I've checked out (the links) have been gushing with praise for the tutorial that was linked, and for our website in general. I think there's always going to be a bad apple in the batch, unfortunately.

Oh well I guess you just have to ignore it. People are so mean/rude sometimes. I know I was hurt by this happening to me becuz they used personal information along with photos we were posting on the forum I was a member of. It just really shows you what can be spread around from posts on a public board. I know I learned my lesson and now I try to stay friendly but not get into my lifes details online anymore.

Low self esteem at it's finest.
