Fetlife A Danger To The BDSM Community?

Once again I've been targeted by the self appointed watch dogs of 'The Reaps Project"  The BDSM / Leather Community upon this board needs to be HIGHLY aware of that this group exists on Fetlife and apparently is allowed to exist by Fetlife itself. (please see previous blog on this) it is a direct danger to all members of Fetlife and your personal life outside of Fetlife as you will see in the posts I am sharing below exchanges with the so called "Caretakers" around this place.

In the meantime I've had my entire photographs removed by Fetlife. And will not be posting personal pics of anyone near and dear to my heart for reasons you will see below. Until Fetlife makes some serious changes around here to assure the personal safety and well being of its membership:

This is outrageous! Outrageous! The REAPS Group are filing FALSE reports on me out personal vendetta.. You allow this vigilante community to run your board and attack anyone they find un acceptable to drive them from the board!

I'm the only one they have done this too! Go the Anti Reaps board on your groups and read for yourself! Listen to your membership instead of Vigilante Groups such as REAPS that are using Fetlife as their personal board.

I AM INNOCENT.. and had full permission from the actual owners of those picks to repost!

I Will be informing the general public of what’s going on here.


Good Day

Okay, so I have some bad news. We had 2 more valid DMCA reports against the pictures in your profile. Because it was the second DMCA notice, we have removed all the pictures from your FetLife profile.
If you did have permission to upload the picture, you have options! Please fill out a DMCA counter-notice.
If we receive a third separate, valid picture takedown request, we’ll have to remove you from FetLife. We really do not want it to come to that, so we would really appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Please understand we respond to DMCA reports sent in by the owners of copyrighted images – these represent repeat infringement cases, to which we are legally obligated to respond in an increasingly harsh fashion.
Thank you for your understanding, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us back.
Stay Kinky!

In addition: You should know this the Reaps Project is targeting people outside of your board with harassment, personal threats to safety and well being, even resorting the informing businesses of their employees activities on Fetlife.. And advertising their REAP Project on Fetlife as their home base of operations.

That's some serious legal problems for you coming if people seek to pro sue damages. And really some bad press if the press seeks to pro sue this as well.

Fetlife is supposed to mean a Community for all to share. Instead its become a playground of self appointed individuals that seek to settle personal scores.

Then send private notice for it to be removed and block the image allowing the person to respond in kind then arbitrary acting on said notice and removing all content. It is the customary practice of blog sites and other social networking sites!

You are acting on erroneous information. Provided to you by a Vigilante committee calling themselves as the REAPs Project.

Thank you for destroying 3 1/2 year of my posting WITHOUT Complaints until the REAPS project targeting me for suggesting a prospect model seek legal advise before posing nude for any internet photographer.

Good Day

Hi there, [Redacted] here again…I can assure you that the reports were valid legal DMCA takedown notices from the copyright holder/photographer of the images. they submitted the DMCA takedown notice themselves. If you have permission, fill out the DMCA counter notice and send it along with a copy of the written permission from the copyright holder and we will certainly be happy to repost the images.

Never received  a  reply to my informing them of the harassment or threats this The Reaps Project is doing outside of Fetlife or their use of Fetlife as their home base of operations.

This is how Fetlife treats the BDSM/Leather Community and what they really think of it!  They allow vigilante communities to operate in their name. To destroy the private lives of their membership. Something the entire community should be made aware of!

I’ve already sent notice to the National Leather Association and in the process of informing others. The Alternative Lifestyle Community should be made highly aware of what is going on here and Fetlife’s lack of concern for its membership.

Unless Fetlife changes it attitude, unless you the members pressure them and BAN these so called “Outing Threads in their Groups and so called Police of the Community” Boards and groups that operate on Fetlife your in danger as have been some 230 others that have started an Anti Reaps board.

FetLife Is Not Safe for Users

 http://sexandthe405.com/fetlife-is-not-safe-for-users/

 

 Summery: Read More at the link

It’s important to point out here that it’s in FetLife’s interest to convince users that this space is safe. The site has for some time charged for access to user-generated content, including photos and videos, in their Kinky&Popular section, a Pinterest-like part of the site that pulls all the hot site-wide content into one place for users to browse. Anyone with an account can see Kinky&Popular, but to scroll back and access more content or view videos, users need to fork over five dollars per month for a minimum of six months. If users didn’t feel confident in FetLife’s walled garden model, they would not be so quick to put up any content. So to continue creating revenue, FetLife must do whatever it can to ensure user confidence.
The problem is that FetLife is not, in fact, safe. Since anyone who makes a free account can access the walled garden, any of the site’s 1,554,288 users can create mirrors of the site elsewhere on the Internet, making other users’ content accessible to people without FetLife accounts.
The most recent example of how login access doesn’t ensure safety happened on August 10, when a FetLife user decided to sit down and write a 50-line PHP proxy to illustrate the issues with this method of security. The user, known online as maymay, has been a long-time critic of FetLife’s security and its inconsistent approach to user safety. He was an ardent proponent of SSL on the site last year — which FetLife finally adopted.

Why cats can survive falls that would kill any other animal

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17492802

Cats can famously fall from skyscrapers and only suffer the most minor of bruises, including the recent story of a cat surviving a 19-story fall in Boston with only a bruised chest. What's the secret of this feline survival?

Russian Mogul Plans to Transplant Human Brains to Robot Bodies - International Business Times

Russian Mogul Plans to Transplant Human Brains to Robot Bodies - International Business Times

Do you want to live forever in a robotic body? If Russian entrepreneur Dmitry Itskov is to be believed he already has plans that will allow humans to inhabit robots in the next ten years.Itskov, a 31-year-old Russian media entrepreneur already claims he has already hired 100 scientists to make his dream of human immortality come true.

"This project is leading down the road to immortality," Itskov, who founded New Media Stars, a Russian company that runs several online news outlets, told Wired. "A person with a perfect Avatar will be able to remain part of society. People don't want to die."Itskov's project "Avatar" is similar to the Pentagon's own project "Avatar" which envisions surgically transplanting human consciousness to a robot body. Itskov hopes to upload human minds without surgery leaving the human bodies empty while the human owners live on inside robots. Itskov's and the U.S. project are named after the James Cameron movie, "Avatar" where human soldiers can transfer their consciousness into genetically made alien hybrids to live amongst an alien species in a distant world.

Chinese boy apparently has animal's night vision.

Ultra high strangeness story.Wednesday, January 25, 2012 This is probably one of the strangest stories we have ever posted. The reason is that there is every indication, from night vision to blurred vision in daylight, that this child has tapetum lucidum in his eyes, the same material that enables animals to see in the dark and also causes their eyes to glow at night when a light shines on them. The human need for ultra-clear vision during daylight has caused our eyes to evolve away from those of animals. While some primates have tapetum lucidum, this child's eyes would appear to be absolutely unique in the human world.Read the original source: http://www.unknowncountry.com/out-there/chinese-boy-apparently-has-animals-night-vision-ultra-high-strangeness-story#ixzz1kW42Gtoc

The Yeshiva World Expert Unearths Evidence Of Mass Graves At Treblinka Death Camp « » Frum Jewish News

A forensic archaeologist has unearthed fresh evidence to prove the existence of mass graves at the Nazi death camp Treblinka.

Some 800,000 Jews were killed at the site, in north east Poland, during the Second World War but a lack of physical evidence at the site has been exploited by Holocaust deniers.

British forensic archaeologist Caroline Sturdy Colls has now undertaken the first co-ordinated scientific attempt to locate the graves, according to an interview in the Radio Times.

As Jewish religious law forbids disturbing burial sites, she and her team from the University of Birmingham have used “ground-penetrating radar”.

Her work at the site, where the Nazis tried to destroy all traces of industrial-scale killing, is being followed in forthcoming Radio 4 documentary The Hidden Graves Of The Holocaust.

The programme’s presenter, Jonathan Charles, a former BBC foreign correspondent, wrote in the Radio Times that the ground-penetrating radar had also discovered the foundations of buildings and that two are likely to have been gas chambers.

Sturdy Colls said: “All the history books state that Treblinka was destroyed by the Nazis but the survey has demonstrated that simply isn’t the case.”

She added: “I’ve identified a number of buried pits using geophysical techniques. These are considerable in size, and very deep, one in particular is 26 by 17 metres.”

The programme’s presenter wrote in the Radio Times that the pits contain the burnt remains of thousands of bodies.

The forensic archaeologist, who has now presented her findings to the authorities responsible for the memorial at Treblinka, said: “I really hope this is the first stage in a long-term programme to seek out those hidden graves of the Holocaust.”

Survivor Kalman Taigman remembers his arrival at the camp’s railway station, packed into a cattle wagon.

“I was with my mother. We were about 100 people in a wagon. They opened the doors, firing guns and hitting us, and sent us into a yard. I ran with my mother and tried to calm her.

“They told me to leave my mother but I didn’t do it quickly and I was hit on the head. When I got up, she was gone. She went with all the rest of the women to the gas chamber.”

US SENATE APPROVES SEX WITH ANIMALS FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL

It was bad enough earlier this year when Obama’s liberal political machine forced the Joint Chiefs of Staff to drop ‘don’t ask don’t tell,’allowing homosexuals to serve openly in the armed forces.
This was followed by a military order out of the Pentagon that all military chaplains will perform same-sex marriages and make military chapels available for such services. Thousands of chaplains are refusing to follow those orders saying they will not perform same-sex marriages as it goes against their religious beliefs.
Now, the US Senate has taken the moral degradation of the US military down even lower when they passed S 1867 which calls for the repeal of Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), which made it illegal to engage in sodomy with humans or sex with animals.

US Senate legalises sex with animals
