Feeling so lost

I recently learned my biggest lesson of the internet.
I posted on another forum, my Portfolio of hair styles and other services related to my career.
I completely dismissed the part where my actual salon's contact info was on the website. The forum took that information as well as my email and basically found and spread everything about me. Especially false things to my work place and began to make sexual and harmful threats towards me. They also began to harass my work place and get into everything I had on the web. Face book, Tumblr,Soundcloud, photobucket, and many more things.
I was advised to delete everything. Now its all gone ._____. everything I've manifested over all these years as an artist, gone.
I don't know how to cope with this.
 
I wasn't sure where this fit in. Normally I wouldn't post such a thing to a forum... but I have nothing else to post to now lol =0=
 
I'm sorry do you not have a hard back up of these on your harddrive?

I would just think you uploaded to those sites from your harddrive.
That is horrible to hear though why did the site do that? Were you not suppose to advertise? Because even so I just can not see what in the world would motivate them to do such a thing. If its any reputable site especially.

Were they looking for money or something? I would launch about 100 proxies if it was me and put the site to hell honestly. Various ways of going about it. Definitely not helpful however in the context of harm reduction. But that is pretty fucked up to read.
 
Wow, that's really terrible... How did they get your passwords to these things? And they did it just because? That's just sick... I can only hope, that being an artist you can take this tragedy and turn it into something beautiful.

It started with some females taking pictures of me off of my portfolio/Salon site and saying a load of offensive things about me. I expected as much xD Its forums.
Then a bunch of people suddenly band waggoned and started to threaten me sexually and violently. When they found my salons number on the website they started calling my work place and getting information about me. Also, like a dumbass, my email was on the website so they searched what ever it was linked to on the internet.

Next thing I know their spreading number addresses and all other shit telling people to come rape me and burn my shit down.
Im a 19 year old girl that likes research chems and does hair.... I'm not looking for a crazy stalker mob community.

As far as Im aware I do have some things saved, but alot of my artwork and writings are now gone. Forever.
Sorry my typing is poor atm, getting ready to go to the salon and try to explain all the insane phone calls they received within the passed 24 hours.....
@___@ So, Im back here now (Though technically I was only ever with bluelight through IRC)
 
internet harrassment

You are only 19, too? How are you handling this as the days pass? What did these people want to hurt you for and how did they get access? That is really sad and I hope there is an investigation. They definitely broke the law. There are rules, even for the internet.
 
That's awful, NeonDreams! I'm so sorry you had to go through that, and lost all your artwork too :( <3

People can be so cruel.. how are you feeling about it today? I'd be pretty shaken up I think, you should definitely go to the police in my opinion...

I admit I made some mistakes; It was generally allowed in the community to talk about chems and chem usage openly, but once this hate started people were threatening to use some of the things I said against me if I tried to do anything about it.

Basically only ONE mod in particular heard me out and deleted the photos people were spreading of me from my personal photobuckets and banned a few other people. Even now this mod is being raged on for it, but as far as Im aware the shits cooling down. Some other cool people seemed to have jumped on and saw the situation as whacked out.

Still all in all I shouldn't have posted a link that had links to my personal info. v_____v my bad.

Um Im kind of embarrassed to go to my salon... I'm also exhausted from not having slept so worried about it.
I think everything will be okay though honestly.

^--^ It really is a relief to come here and not get trolled immediately. Thank you for hearing me out! <3
 
Trolls are frowned upon (and infracted) here don't worry, especially TDS!

I am sure your salon will understand - often the worry of these things is so much worse than the actual thing itself.. good luck! <3

^v^ Thank you, for starting my morning off so positively!
@___________@ Almost time to head out.
Damn 12 hour days.
 
Also, your avatar is amazing! :D Hope all goes well today <3
 
Being an artist myself, I feel you. I'm all up for friendly trolling, but this is just mental rape here. Best thing to do is to take that sadness/anger/frustration and create glorious art with it. My best drawings are based on how I was feeling at the time. Best of luck to you. When life gives you lemons, you punch life in the face, steal all its lemons, and start a lemonade business. :D
 
You must feel so exposed and vulnerable. People can be cruel and to what purpose? I wish you all the strength in the world.<3
 
^-^
Thank you , all of you. I cannot express enough the level of comfort I get from this forum.
I'm at a point of calmness now. Alot of things seem to be correctly arranged. I plan to explore the site more now and hopefully succor to others in need of consul.

So, I think Im saying good bye to this thread for now.
 
Don't be leaving TDS completely! The experience you have could help others a great deal
