So there is this new website with teens and such where you register your highschool or college and then you can make threads, anonymously, about ANYTHING. Problem is that #1, everying is using this new website to cut people down and be stupid, and #2, Somebody is on there posing as me and saying ****** up **** about all these people in my previous highschool and area, and then putting my name at the end of the posts! I don't see any real way to stop this either. Any advice? People are starting to call me and ask about "the things i said."

Anyways, i would love this site to get shut down, because it's really the last thing my generation needs, let alone its effecting me personally.

I thought you were going to talk about Invalid Link Removed

People at my college were cutting each other down on that site, so the school had an awareness program for it. Try talking to the school admin and see what they can do. Since the person is signing your name at the end of his/her posts and making defamatory remarks, you may be able to get them for libel/slander. IP addresses can be traced. Check with a lawyer.

haha, well, im 19, so the whole lawyer thing is a bit unexplored for me. as for contacting the school, you think they would talk to me about it even though i no longer attend it?

Probably not. The problem in this situation is there really is not much you can do. There aren't many laws governing the internet. Your best bet still is to seek a lawyer (talk to your parents?) and see what legal action you can take.

Have you contacted the site about this? They may be able to take it off. I don't know how much it would help, but just telling them that you'll look to legal action if they don't do anything about it could be a good idea. I assume this would be considered libel, so do some research on libel defamation laws.

Sounds like someone has it in for you though. It might be worth watching your back if you ever go to a school reunion party.

You must have gone to the Shaler Area High School? A lot of their posts are on the first page with your name on them....

I'd put up a post with my name in the title saying the comments aren't me. I'd explain briefly and maturely the situation, and I'd never post on that site again. It seems like a pathetic place for pathetic people. If a website like that wants to have any merit is soooo needs to be moderated.

I was just having a look through the other posts. One of them said something about not getting pregnant and using protection, and one of the replies said:

'Quick! Somebody fetch a coat hanger!'

I know that it is rather dark humour, but it made me ROFL.
