That's actually kind of surprising, Arion! You've got such a big fan base I figured you'd be getting tons of creepy messages from overly-friendly fanboys and girls. :P

You and me both!
Truth be told, I don't even know what I expected anymore. Before, I doubted a lot about making a page and now, a silly part of me is feeling frustrated because there isn't much happening there to tell here.

Does that make sense?

what i have noticed (i don't suggest you do this, this is completely up to you) is that i've posted pictures of me and my husband or my wedding photos.

What you COULD do is post a PDA picture as your profile pic. You and your mertender or something. havent gotten contacted at all since.

My page got hit with Chris Perry. So far, pretty innocent messages, and he pointed out that I don't cover enough mermen in my facebook page. No issues yet. The girls on my page are asking for more mermen as well.

Feel free to share my pictures from my page. That should help

This is why I block people that look suspicious. Depending on which profile pic I have up depends on when the creepers come out. If they message me with something creepy or just look creepy, I never respond and just block right away, no chances! LOL

Wow...I am glad I am not on facebook, twitter, tumblr, etc. I have had someone say something mean to me before on the internet. It was on Deviantart. The comment really ruined my day, but then I decided that I would reply in a very kind way telling that person to have a nice day or something like that. They didn't reply back. I like the idea of killing people with kindness. I just don't see why some stranger would be mad at you for not replying to them or friending them.

Often I wonder what these people are like in real life. I wonder if they have sad little lives and no friends.

Tried searching through this thread, but has anyone received a message from a "Christian Horsting".....tried being polite at the start and literally after 2 replies from me, I got this really large text wall, which looks like a poem but doesn't rhyme at all.

I am getting friend requests and messages from a Tim Dorfschmidt in Germany on my FB page. He is friends with several of my mer friends, but I know nothing about him. He says he 'likes Mermaids'.... Anyone recognize him, and/or have any info - do I want him for a friend?

ye, I have him on my list.
He can't speak English well, so unless you speak German, he won't bother you

I got some quite annoying novel-sized textings from him, but after a while (I'm very seldom online) he found better things to do, and I've only received nice comments and likes from him since.

Cristopher Perry pm:d me on facebook this morning. Nope, won't happen.

Hi I'm a merman and wish we could be mer friends

[Mermaid Sirenia]

And I'm now getting tons of messages on my page from Christopher Perry -_-

[Sherielle]

Just got messaged by Chris perry as well

[MermaidCelesteFL]

Merman week is going well! Thanks, Arion! The girls love you!

Also, Chris Perry is still being harmless, he's just grateful that I'm covering mermen in my topics on my fb page. I'll let you know if he gets out of hand.

[Spindrift]

Uuugggghhhh this stuff is making me seriously wary of ever making a mermaid account when I finally get my tail... I get crazy anxiety when I'm approached by people like that. Just reading all the creepy comments you get, Raina, is making my stomach knot up. x-o

Like, how does anyone even respond to half of these...

^This is the reason why I don't have a mermaid account. It sucks though. I'd love to be mermaid-friends with all of you lovely people.

[Echidna]

To be fair, someone like Raina gets loads more comments, creepy or otherwise, than the average mer.

I'd say try it, block the creepers, and enjoy having a mer account.
