Not yet but watch it start happening soon.

as ppl spend more time online, they get a better instinct at understanding a "tone" online - so if you are really mean or unfriendly, they can sense it - and if they have mental problems to begin with, they will spend the whole day in a bad mood or feeling sad. So it's best to treat ppl as much as possible as you do in real life.

Good grief, I thought what I got reported for was silly, but this is even worse. You just never know what's gonna tick somebody off. Oh well, let's just still try to have fun despite the loser's who have nothing better to do than report even 'CLEAN' stuff.

If I come across a question or an answer which I feel is abusive, hateful or contains foul language, I will report it. \n\nI don't go looking for abuse to report, I'm not a policeman. Off topic questions I just ignore. \n\nIf these strange people open an account using a different name and continue to be abusive, Yahoo has a way to deal with that too, by blocking their IP address. It can be done and is 100% effective. Abusers beware.

i have a bad habit of replying to answers on unrelated posted questions...which i intend to fix...later. no porn isn't the real world but it definitely has an impact on the way ppl do things(hint)and it obviously sells.

Well my friend, the teenage look for easy market, not down town or in the comfort of their zone, yes, through the Internet; a "spidey" web churned by the brilliancy of the mind of man. What you are seeing and experiencing are the consequences of the self destructive innovation of man himself. I think bad days are here and guys like us(good guys)should find ways and means to counteract such disturbing and unhealthy practices.

I think sometimes good people are good because bad stuff happens to them. I am one of those people. At times, I think I may be the unluckiest person in the world, however, I've learned some awesome lessons in every one of them. It doesn't get me down, I keep a positive attitude. Don't get me wrong though, it does suck.

YES the internet can be that bad!\n\nThat's why I never allow my child to go online unsupervised.\n\nI also know a 13 year old that in six months of being online unsupervised thinks she is a goth vampire, had her lip pierced and wants to kill her mom. She had smaller issues before this, but most recently hopsitalized explained that she just copied other people she thought were cool. \n\nI've met a guy online, became friends online, and he started stalking me! Sending me gifts and flowers and all that at work, trying to get me to move in with him. It was partially my fault because my relationship was having problems and he was easy to talk to, but it went way overboard. He even called the hospital when my daughter was admitted to ask how she was doing - while we were in the emergency room - after calling work to ask where I was.\n\nOur local news is always busting someone adult guy for trying to meet up with a teenager through online.\n\nScary stuff.\n\nTrust me, it CAN be that dangerous. \n\nBut also remember, it can be a great learning tool and great for information, science projects etc.

It's only bad when you post things that hackers can see or get to. But if you are not doing inappropiate things, than it should be ok. But I'm not saying that you shouldn't still look out for these things. Also, make sure you're not talking to grown men on there.

Yes, there has been alot of negativity circulating around about MySpace.com lately, but ,like the rest of the internet, you have to use common sense when using it. I'm very cautious about the information that I give out anywhere on the internet. \n\nI have a MySpace account that I only use to add music artists that I like as my friends. I also have a few friends who are my Yahoo 360 friends on there as well. \n\nDespite all of the negativity surrounding MySpace, it has several features that allow its users to stay safe while using it. First of all, you can make it so you have to accept or deny someone who wants to be your friend. That way if you see something you don't like all you have to do is deny it, block the person, and ,if it's really bad, report them to MySpace. Second, you can approve or deny all comments that are made about your site. That way if someone says something you don't like then you can easily delete it and ban the person before anyone else ever sees the comment. Third, you can make your MySpace page private so that only the people on your friends list can see your page. This would probably be a good idea for your daughter. \n\nBasically what I'm saying is talk to your daughter and explain to her that you're concerned about her safety at MySpace ,and the rest of the internet, and tell her that you want her to be careful when using it. I've included several resources below to help better educate yourself and your daughter about the dangers of the internet and how to practice online safety. I hope you will take a look at them. \n\nI got the following from http://www.safeteens.com/teenrules.htm\n1. Keep Your Identity Private\n2. Never Get Together with Someone You “Meet” Online\n3.  Never Respond To E-Mail, Chat Comments, Instant Messages Or Other Messages That Are Hostile, Belligerent, Inappropriate Or In Any Way Make You Feel Uncomfortable\n4. Talk with your Parents About Their Expectations and Ground Rules for Going Online\n\n\n\nGuidelines For Parents from \nhttp://www.safeteens.com/safeteens.htm#Guidelines_for_Parents_0\n\nTalk with your Teens About What They Can and Cannot Do Online\nBe reasonable and set reasonable expectations. \nLearn Everything You Can About the Internet\nCheck Out Blocking, Filtering and Ratings Applications\n\nHave fun and stay safe!!

hacking is neutral. What and why you hack, is what makes it "good" or "bad".\n\n\n@bassem\n"it's not a sin for me, cause why do you make it soooo easy to hack your files ? "\n\nFirst off, you are not a hacker. It is not "soooo easy to hack your files", this commend leads me to belive that you are nothing better then a low rate uneducated script kiddy. So, I belive you have no right to comment on the ethics of hacking due to not being a "hacker". Second... it is easy to pick up a gun and kill your neighbor as he sleeps, this does not make right (or in other words "not a sin"). \nBy sin, what comes to mind is the teachings of the bible and a set of rules outlined by the ten commandments in old testament. If you "hack your files" as you most tactfuly put, then in fact you are stealing (or at very least, a point can be made you are stealing as posed in the book "computer ethics"), content which does not belong to you, and stealing is a sin.\n\nThis brings me to my point that hacking is neutral, and in this case it would be "black hat" and a sin.\n\nAlso, you wrote...\n"Make ur security better and don't transform hacking into an ethical subject! "\n\nWhich shows how you are simply not educated on the subject of "ethics" , much less computer ethics....\nJust because the temptation is there, does not make it right to act upon it. for these reasons I will downvote your responce because it is incorrect.\n\n\n\n\n\n@dragonlord\n"in the old days a hacker and hacking meant being able to get a computer or network to do what you want in ways that it was not documented. "\n\nThe history of hacking goes much deeper then you make it appear. Hacking itself has been around for a great deal of time before computers were ever created. Some argue, (as in the book "steal this computer book 4.0") that hacking can be seen as far back as when telephone companies would higher young boys  to route calls at switchboards. The reason being that young men were able to adapt to the new technology (telephones) very quickly. Shortly later, many of these boys would place "prank phone calls" by listening in on conversations, connecting callers to incorrect numbers, and just causing general mischief and chaos. Shortly later did the telephone companies remove young men from directing calls, and replaced them with mature older women.\n\nI maintain hacking goes much farther back then that, and that hacking itself is more of a human characteristic and even a highly advanced form of logical deduction and method to achieve set goals.\n\nso, to say "in the old days a hack[ing]", would not give justice to the history of hacking.\n\n\n=)

Should there be a watchdog on the web to filter out all the stuff that someone might want to be illegal?  Who gets to choose what that stuff is?\n\nYour definition of bad stuff is "cuss words and nuded people."  Mine might be racist words, or threats to individuals or groups.\n\nThere are filters for parents to use to stop this kind of information from reaching their children.  An one of any age can use them.  \n\nShould they be illegal - no.  We don't need more watchguards and big brother looking over everything we do.

Cybering isn't wrong and it doesn't have to be done on Cam, it can be all text even.  To me though, it is high tech masterbation more than anything else.\n\nI think people think it is wrong because they feel that you are being intimate with someone you can't possibly know, but anyone who has tried it knows that it isn't that intimate - it can be fun I guess, but nothing beats the real thing with someone we care about.  The nay sayers think those who do have cyber sex have forgotten that or that all sex outside of wedlock is a sin.  \n\nHow about having cyber sex with your spouse while they are out of town - I wonder if they think that is a sin.

The answer to this can only be subjective.  If it interfers with your regular activities, and keeps you from getting necessary things done, it's too much.\n\nIf other people around are inconvenienced, and complaining about you spending too much time here, you should re-examine your priorities.\n\nFor myself, this is just about the only thing left I really can do, so I spend hours every day on this site.  I can't do anything else, so there is no harm.  My son and grandson are really glad I found something to keep me busy, so they don't feel so guilty when they want to do their own thing.
