A Guide to Unwanted Contact: Merverts, Trolls, Collectors, and more with list

warning. This account is a clear mervert on Instagram. He's been bugging me non stop asking for details about my boobs, and asking me to send him photos. Blarg

[Yulia]

And now they have changed their name from "boobs", to "pictures".

[Princess Pearl]

Oh my god I saw that! Is there some sort of report function on Instagram?

yes! click the "..." in the upper right corner when looking at their profile and you can block and report them there.

Anyone know about this guy? He has a lot of mers liked and he has liked and commented on my page

Well what has he commented? Depending on this he could either be a collector (not always bad) or a mervert (yep, bad).

Well since there doesn't seem to be anything sexually explicit about that kind of comment I wouldn't call him a Mervert just off that comment, since I could easily see myself posting something like that (and that's usually how I judge it haha, either that of if it contains 'boobs' 'GF' 'kiss', any words along that line INSTABAN) On another note: his DP looks creepy as hell to me.

Yeah, seriously

I find a pattern in some merverts in which they will start out with seemingly harmless comments and compliments and then they go in for the explicit stuff. Just be on the lookout and if you have a bad vibe, just block the guy.

DP?

Just wondering if there have ever been merverts here on MerNetwork? Sometimes I get a vibe from some of the people who come on here and only comment on pictures, but I don't think I've come across a legit mervert.

[AniaR]

yes there have been, and some borderline pedophiles. Admins have always been quick to act thankfully.

[Raayvhen]

Got a Midwest merman Steve message. If I remember he's harmless but relentless?

[AniaR]

pretty much yup

[Merman Dylan]

This may seem odd because I'm a merman, but I had an experience with someone that made me uncomfortable. His facebook name is Edward C Aselman. Here is the conversation we had.

are u str8. love to see pics of u in ur tail out of the water. how long have u had this tail. the blue 1

I'm straight. I think you might be barking up the wrong tree here.

y. i just wanted to know if u was str8 or not thats a all

Okay, that's fine. I guess.

Awkward conversation?

i did not want to try to ofend u if u was gay thats a all. how long have u had the tail

For a little while, why are you asking?

just trying to get to know u. i have had my tasil for 15 months now. in my pics is my tail

I don't see a tail

bnext to the last pi

I unfriended him, and I blocked him after that. He didn't have any pictures of him in a tail, but he did dress up in something a little more on the unsavory side of things or a comic book super hero, I can't remember which. He lied about being a mer, he doesn't have a proper profile picture, and he just made me feel uncomfortable.

Does anyone know about Robert John Taylor. He seems nice, but I feel like something is off. I also blocked Miguel Antonio Landaeta Hernandez for almost the same reason I blocked Edward not long after I blocked Edward. He came off a little bit too strong to me when he asked for photos.

hi dylan

Hi

I like your tail

thanks

do you have more tails

I have multiple tails that are the same color.

do you have photos

Do you think I jumped the gun blocking Miguel?

[Mermaid Mystery]

like others have said to me, if something feels off do what you think is appropriate.

[Celaeno]

^agreed. Trust your instincts. If it feels off, it probably is. Nothing wrong with protecting yourself and maintaining your level of comfort when dealing with strangers online.

[SeaGlass Siren]

You done good by blocking Dylan. They both sound reall fucking fishy. (Pun intended)
