Social Net Toolbagging

richard — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 06:46:26 +0000

A friend just posted on Facebook that a guy private messaged her saying the quotes she posted in statuses are getting too deep and that she should delete him…

awww. thats adorable! It’s like a time capsule from the Myspace days, where everyones a 12 year old girl at heart. Facebook turned social networking into a docu-drama. She’s so lucky to get to relive this type of Farce.

I am SO jealous! I never get insane bullshit like this anymore. I totally took it for granted back when it was plentiful.

sigh.

Remember when Myspace was a website?

For awhile it was called a crumbling ghetto while Facebook was the suburban community everyone flocked to but “dirty whore” is way more accurate. i logged in the other day and while i used to have a request que filled with porn-spam – now its filled with what appear to be real-life sluts. Before logging out i got two myspace-instant-messages in their stupid downbar thing from gay guys whose very first message was asking if i wanted to fuck. when i checked my messages and comments i saw 13 people i am not friendly with that had given me their phone numbers to “text” or “trade pics” (the more honest version of the first).

Quit putting your worries on blast

Pro tip for all of you internetties: quit using social networking sites to cry yourself a river over every little negative thing in your life.

what makes you think its a good idea to broadcast your problems to a wide audience?

20% don’t care and 80% are glad you have them.

The real reason Myspace sunk

richard — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 19:16:12 +0000

the real reason myspace died: it was bad enough that I came so close to getting a role in Apatow’s “Funny People” and then didnt, but i kept from hating on the (bad) movie because I was still on the movie’s top friends on its official…until they took me off.. the jerks. they made a powerful enemy that day. and its be…en downhill ever since. SUCK IT, MYSPACE.

If you doubt that it was actually me and in reality was a classic case of “white flight” that turned Myspace into the run down ghetto that it is, then it gets more complicated. both are true of course. black people were just my tool to drive the wedge and cause the exodus like how Rasputin used those green demon things to create civil unrest among the civilians and start the Russian Revolution in the animated Anastasia.

Myspace makes a game-changing improvement

Just when you thought Facebook had won the war, Myspace comes back in a BIG WAY… after 3 years of introducing no new features other than ones already found on Facebook, Mysapce has today rolled out a whopper: their “home” button has been replaced with an icon of a house. ho-le-shit baby…

Dont call it a comeback! Myspace for tha muthafkkn WIN!

UPDATE: a little under 2 months after making this earth shattering change, Myspace went back to using the word “Home” and has removed the icon…

Myspacebook: the blurring of the line gets worse

jesus, Myspace…have you NO shame with your features-theft?

UPDATE: they changed it back! good thing i took a screenshot cuz they have yanked this feature as of now anyway…

did they realize this was a step too far?? how weird…

Is Myspace dead?

richard — Sat, 16 Jan 2010 01:14:38 +0000

Is Myspace dead?…idk. you tell me… here is a screenshot of a comment I just opened. within it you will find a 17 year old boy whose main picture is him taking a dump, asking me (with assurance that he won’t be offended) if I am a top or a bottom..

turns out i can’t fault the young man, as when i investigated his page, it was clear that merely allowing him on my friends list is legit suspicion that i was cruising…. is Myspace dead? *takes off glasses*… Gentleman.. I rest my case.

“Text me?” – No means NO

richard — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 04:30:18 +0000

Does anyone know the secret motive behind asking to text someone online? is it just to get their phone number? or is there more to it?

Why do 12 year old girls and creepy old people always ask for my # to text so they can “get to know” me? and why right away? like the first or second message they ever send me? what is going on?? then they get all disappointed when I tell them I don’t text on my phone, which is true. Why would I want to hunch over my stupid phone – a device made for audio – and type out little messages when I have a full sized keyboard and large flatscreen monitor to do that shit from? And what’s it to these people whether my “text” comes on a computer or a phone? We’re “texting” every time they ask to text. its annoying. there’s got to be a REAL reason they do that…

tell me what i’m out of the loop on..

No means NO…

If you help Myspace curtail vulgar underage whores, they’ll delete you

richard — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:49:57 +0000

Filed under Myspace Fail: this girl leaves a comment on my status update (which was how people cant read-uh my poker face) saying “your gayy [SIC] . go shove a big juicy cock in your mouth”. so i say no thanks and to leave her sex fantasies about me to herself. she messages me telling me to fuck myself and die. i reply telling her to take her fat aggression out on someone else.

Keep in mind that this person request to be my friend and that is how she’s able to comment on my stuff. I don’t know why she’s trolling for a fight but she took it to the private messaging to keep calling me a gay fag who should make sex with dudes and die, to which I do as I always do and repeat the answer I already gave to that until it’s acknowledged. So I told her again to keep the sex fantasies to herself and chillax.

She replies with more sexual profanity and says im a fag anyway for responding to “a 14 year old” (the profile says 18). Not knowing if this is more dumb person tough talk or if its real – I reply to confirm saying only “wait, you’re 14?” and she replies with “yeppp . 15 in jan”.

so I take a screenshot of that and report the profile to Myspace under the “report underage users” feature. You’re supposed to be 15 or 16 to be able to join Myspace and its double-illegal to lie about your age when you’re underage cuz a lot of profiles – including mine – are only visible and accept requests and messages from users who are over 18. You’re welcome Myspace, for me being such an awesome neighborhood watchman and alerting you to a terms violator and cyber bully.

so what happens?…

Myspace thanks me and deletes her, right? wrong.
Myspace deletes MY profile and changes her profiles age to 14.

So to review: I said “hey Myspace, this person is breaking your terms of service by posting a fake age when they’re really 14 and sending unprovoked threatening and vulgar harassing messages” and Myspace said “hey, shut the fuck up. we’re deleting you now”.

what… the fuck…

UPDATE: Fun sidenote? the troll puts her phone number as her “mood”…I didn’t notice this till after posting the screenshot of the fake age, but it also contains her frigging phone number…

If I cared, I would totally call this Sara Miklowski @ 440-339-7930 and give her what-for.

Instead I’ll just brush it off as a kid getting kid-like satisfaction from being a bully and instead direct the hate where its deserved: Myspace’s poor service, terrible policy application and general disregard for it’s users. Myspace is doomed to fail.

Corporate America strikes again…

I wish I could go back in time to when Myspace first started and show myself that in 2009 it would be owned by Newscorp and I would be getting requests from Wendy’s and “Camo” Barbie, who is for some reason dressed as a pirate…
