Mr_Danger 3,413 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 That happened to me! It was incredibly awkward as it was adding loads of people I only knew from delivering their mail and parcels  who weren’t Facebook friends so I must have looked like a right Boydy.

CTXRussomark 136 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Happened to my dad too, and due to the fact he already had multiple accounts from forgetting his password every few months I didn't think twice about accepting the new request. Got half way through a basic conversation with him before realising it wasn't him when he asked if I'd heard about some new investment opportunity and sent me a link. Was quite unnerving how easy it was to be fooled. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members Nostalgia Nonce 1,542 Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 I can't help but feel this campaign has become a little bit too enthusiastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Zeb 1,898 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 (edited) What makes you say that, Mr Nonce? But yes, can't remember if it's been covered in this thread already, but that campaign is part of the batshit crazy QAnon conspiracy wasteland that's infected social media and now has links to around 10% of Republican candidates in upcoming US elections.

Paid Members Kookoocachu 258 Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 I keep being invited to localised SOS groups which of course I decline. One of them was public though so I had a quick nose. Full of the most bizarre and insane posts linking the most innocent things to pedophilia. Disappointed but not surprised to see more 'Mum friends' in there than I would like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Danger 3,413 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 Don’t you realise that rejecting the group requests/leaving the groups/criticising vigilantism makes you a peeeeeeedo sympathiser? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members Nostalgia Nonce 1,542 Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 "Saving our children" should surely focus on prevention, rather than secretly hoping it'll happen so that you can carry out an elaborate (and somewhat sadisto-pornographic) torture and/or execution method that they've dreamed up. I've also noticed that other posts by the Save Our Children fanatics strongly suggest that the sentiment doesn't extend beyond British waters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair it does say save our children, they've at least tried to plan ahead to exclude anyone overseas or here but bit too dusky for thier personal tastes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Cod Eye 899 Posted September 16, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 I've always been emotionally torn by these nonce hunting groups that are all over social media. On one hand, they are doing the job the police should be doing and exposing a very real danger that exists amongst us, but the reports that criminal cases are collapsing due to them making the meets public by live streaming them means that the danger is being allowed back into the community to potentially do it again makes it all a futile effort. I just wish they would fuck off with the live streaming, and just catch them and take them to the police. Everybody is happy then(except the perv). I suppose the hunters wouldn't get their "likes" and "retweets" that they crave though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Danger 3,413 Posted September 16, 2020 Report Share Posted September 16, 2020 That last bit is what it’s all about. They’re no different to the YouTubers yelling “If you think I should blah blah blah then press that like button”. They just chose potential noncing as their field instead of Minecraft or unboxing.
