General Music Chat

Just wondering if there is a way to flag a profile of a member on here who turned out to be a complete creeper. We had emailed, talked on the phone, met in person, played together about 3-4 times and then decided to get all creepy on me. I have a feeling all the stories he told me about his past female singers were a bunch of crap and the reason he can't keep one is because he's a creep. Ladies, we need to steer clear. This is true of any men we meet online, of course, and I know there are plenty of serious and non-creepy men out there who are wonderful band mates, but I just would like to warn others before he does this again. Thanks.

Sorry that happened to you. The admin could delete the guy's profile, but once he's got your contact info ...
You could definitely post his profile info here for others to be warned, but most people who browse the profiles don't come to these forums.

Was it Don Bonguiro?

Sorry, in all seriousness. I'm very leery of anyone I meet online, over the phone, in person, it doesn't matter. And I'm a dude! Yeah, the tests are back. Add to the sketchiness of strange people the fact that they're a musician = quadruple sketchiness! Plus mondo flakiness! I hope everything works out for you.

Thanks everyone. No, it was someone else. He is still trying to contact me after I told him to bug off. I'm trying the ignore-him-and-he-will-get-bored-and-leave tactic. I know most people and musicians are awesome, but he fooled me and I'm sure he's done it before.

please be careful.. it can't be anybody from the forum, because we are all a bunch of good people here.. my greatest fear is divulging too much personal info, and then that gives some creep enough to start trying to steal my passwords and such.. I always try to meet in a neutral place a few times, to jam, say a park, or an (open mic <-- LOL) before i get serious, never let anybody over you have not had time to evaluate by their actions and deeds..

You think he's done it before. Just with females? Or is this just a passive aggressive thing he does with everybody? If the latter - skip the next few paragraphs. If the former, take a look:

If so - you might be over-due to report him to the administrators. Seriously.

Try not to give any personal info if it's not too late.

Among other things I've been a Bodyguard and a Software Engineer. Both lines of work teach practitioners that intelligent folks evaluate situations from best case to worst case. Next is risk analysis, then action based upon your data, promptly. Key word is promptly.

Please contact administrators promptly.

You mean twenty after 4? I guess I'll have to ply you for your passwords, then.
