Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2007 8:13 pm Post subject: FOREIGN TEACHERS REFRAIN FROM POSTING IN PERSONAL ADS |
|
|
I got several different spam ads for personal ads. I clicked on a few because some of the people looked like some foreign teachers I knew. It turns out they were. Now here is the twist to it, first the ads were adult oriented including some with not so good pics, in addition they were updated with their korean cities not their home cities. I strongly urge foreign teachers to refrain from posting these ads not only because we are here as guests and want to be professional for this country but who knows how the province may take it if it is found out. Just a note all the ads I saw were definitely foreigners but did not know if all were english teachers, public or private.  |

| umm you know those most likely are not real ads. websites can tell what country/city you're in by your ip number. just some nude pictures with "hot members in <insert your city here>" slapped across them. |

| Some of the ads were definitely real. They were foreign teachers I knew. I think you need to read more carefully. |

Sometimes you can join one singles site, post a normal photo of you smiling, and other sites will copy/paste it, or someone else will copy/paste it onto another and create an ID for it. Seen it happen to another teacher.
If the photo is of them nude or doing some odd thing, then that's a little difficult to explain, though. |

I think the OP's suggestions are words for the wise. I also think there is potential for entrapment of one sort or another. In the environment we are working in here now, I do not think you can be too careful. |

Then, you sometimes have people doing it to other people as a joke. When I first came to Korea, my friends back home thought it was funny to sign me up to a couple of dating sites without my knowledge. That was until I started getting endless emails from 40 year old ajummas wanting to get laid.
It was funny at first but I had to stop using that email address as the emails wouldn't stop (I was surprised at how many I got) and I didn't have the password to cancel it. My mates didn't have a naked pic of me up there though but it was one of me wearing only shorts on the beach. |

| We can be entrapped which is another reason we should not post those ads. |

I'm a little confused.
Are you saying that we should not post a picture in ANY singles dating website or that we should not post ANY ad in ANY dating site, or that we should not post ANY nude or sexually suggestive photos on any dating site, especially an adult site (like AdultFriendFinder)? |

or hey, how about this one?
do whatever you want that isn't illegal. in the end, only really annoying and lame people are going to care.
doesn't "mind your own damned business" hold any weight anymore? some people like to get laid. nothing against that in the korean constitution. |
