So, I wiki'd online dating, and found out some really interesting stuff. Apparently, questionable activity through online community is not only exemplified through chat-rooms and fake profiles on these dating sites.

Many times, advertisers take advantage of the space on the internet to create fake profiles that oftentimes blatantly sell themselves for the sake of marketing. Ranging from prostitution to ditch efforts of advertising, most of these profiles sometimes present themselves as legitimate.

A lie begets a lie. From fibbing about your a/s/l at a young age in interest-oriented chat-rooms will come a natural inclination to lie later on. Those of us whom were the liars back in the day are continuing on the legacy of fallacy in online communities. This creates a lack of trust within the community to count on the legitimacy of each profile they see, or even each photograph they see, in representation of the available profiles.

Online predators still find the availability of personal information online a wealth of prey. According to www.TRUE.com, felons and marrieds are shunned from accessing the site for fear of immediate legal action.
If you are a criminal or married, DO NOT use our website. Consider this to be fair warning: Our Member Safety team vigorously pursues individuals who misrepresent themselves on our website. We report violators to appropriate federal, state and local authorities, including parole boards. We also actively pursue prosecution of these offenders in other ways. For example, we recently took the unprecedented step of filing a lawsuit in federal court against a convicted felony sex offender from California who applied for membership with TRUE and accessed TRUE’s database in violation of TRUE’s policies.

It's good to see that online dating sites are beginning to recognize this very prevalent problem. It seems like live communities, such as Austin Residential communities would be more aware of sexual predation. With recent problems in the area revolving around sexual predation and the lack of knowledge about their existence in certain neighborhoods, people are uneasy about their choice of living. The fact that sexual predators are being shunned from online neighborhoods makes it more inevitable that someday action must be taken in true neighborhoods.
