Once again I've been targeted by the self appointed watch dogs of 'The Reaps Project" The BDSM / Leather Community upon this board needs to be HIGHLY aware of that this group exists on Fetlife and apparently is allowed to exist by Fetlife itself. (please see previous blog on this) it is a direct danger to all members of Fetlife and your personal life outside of Fetlife as you will see in the posts I am sharing below exchanges with the so called "Caretakers" around this place.
In the meantime I've had my entire photographs removed by Fetlife. And will not be posting personal pics of anyone near and dear to my heart for reasons you will see below. Until Fetlife makes some serious changes around here to assure the personal safety and well being of its membership:

This is outrageous! Outrageous! The REAPS Group are filing FALSE reports on me out personal vendetta.. You allow this vigilante community to run your board and attack anyone they find un acceptable to drive them from the board!
I'm the only one they have done this too! Go the Anti Reaps board on your groups and read for yourself! Listen to your membership instead of Vigilante Groups such as REAPS that are using Fetlife as their personal board.
I AM INNOCENT.. and had full permission from the actual owners of those picks to repost!
I Will be informing the general public of what’s going on here.
Good Day

Okay, so I have some bad news. We had 2 more valid DMCA reports against the pictures in your profile. Because it was the second DMCA notice, we have removed all the pictures from your FetLife profile.
If you did have permission to upload the picture, you have options! Please fill out a DMCA counter-notice.
If we receive a third separate, valid picture takedown request, we’ll have to remove you from FetLife. We really do not want it to come to that, so we would really appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Please understand we respond to DMCA reports sent in by the owners of copyrighted images – these represent repeat infringement cases, to which we are legally obligated to respond in an increasingly harsh fashion.
Thank you for your understanding, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us back.
Stay Kinky!

In addition: You should know this the Reaps Project is targeting people outside of your board with harassment, personal threats to safety and well being, even resorting the informing businesses of their employees activities on Fetlife.. And advertising their REAP Project on Fetlife as their home base of operations.
That's some serious legal problems for you coming if people seek to pro sue damages. And really some bad press if the press seeks to pro sue this as well.
Fetlife is supposed to mean a Community for all to share. Instead its become a playground of self appointed individuals that seek to settle personal scores.

Then send private notice for it to be removed and block the image allowing the person to respond in kind then arbitrary acting on said notice and removing all content. It is the customary practice of blog sites and other social networking sites!
You are acting on erroneous information. Provided to you by a Vigilante committee calling themselves as the REAPs Project.
Thank you for destroying 3 1/2 year of my posting WITHOUT Complaints until the REAPS project targeting me for suggesting a prospect model seek legal advise before posing nude for any internet photographer.
Good Day

Hi there, [Redacted] here again…I can assure you that the reports were valid legal DMCA takedown notices from the copyright holder/photographer of the images. they submitted the DMCA takedown notice themselves. If you have permission, fill out the DMCA counter notice and send it along with a copy of the written permission from the copyright holder and we will certainly be happy to repost the images.

For your reference this is Case #: [Redacted]
Never received a reply to my informing them of the harassment or threats this The Reaps Project is doing outside of Fetlife or their use of Fetlife as their home base of operations.
This is how Fetlife treats the BDSM/Leather Community and what they really think of it! They allow vigilante communities to operate in their name. To destroy the private lives of their membership. Something the entire community should be made aware of!
I’ve already sent notice to the National Leather Association and in the process of informing others. The Alternative Lifestyle Community should be made highly aware of what is going on here and Fetlife’s lack of concern for its membership.
Unless Fetlife changes it attitude, unless you the members pressure them and BAN these so called “Outing Threads in their Groups and so called Police of the Community” Boards and groups that operate on Fetlife your in danger as have been some 230 others that have started an Anti Reaps board.
