bearbandit Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 A new site went up today at caughtlads.com (no www) I'll let them speak for themselves: Caught Lads was created to expose those who use apps such as Grindr to cheat on their partners, have bareback sex with randoms (and lie about it to others), which increases the spread of STIs and HIV. This is not a service to out people with HIV - it exposes bareback and 'pozzer' culture, which is a public health risk.They're on twitter at @CaughtLads Twitter is presently repeatedly crashing with the shitstorm this site has created. They're working on the site as I write - not so long ago they stopped referring the to the people they're outing as skanks and have changed some of the wording. The "Tom" they refer to on their front page is the editor of the online magazine I write for www.beyondpositive.com . Be careful in your conversations on Grindr and any other apps (or stop using them altogether in protest). So far the five guys "exposed" are all in England. No idea if this is going to spread abroad, if the police will get involved or what (What they're doing is generally thought to be illegal under British law , though no-one has been able to get legal advice yet...

bearbandit Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Posted January 28, 2014 Last we heard they'd moved to a server in South Africa, their second move tonight. It's back up again, though this time without the profiles and conversation screenshots. Several UK police forces are investigating them libel is a civil offence here, but what they're doing is a hate crime.

seaguy Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 Some looser who is making things up and has way too much time on their hands. Pathetic!
bb1991 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Posted January 28, 2014 That's so sad. Think about how much on this side is wank fantasy. Or how many users on Grindr and BBRT are just people curious or who get off on the fantasy. How many of us have had conversations on those sites with people who just want wank chat and then you never hear from again. How many of us are those disapearing people, just looking for dirty chat while having a wank. It's so sad and hateful that people would try and ruin the lives and relationships with others over things that, chances are, they have no intention of doing. The Comedian Greg Davies said it well - "I can guarantee you, everyone on in this room has had a thought sometime today that if you told your partner, they would leave you." (that was either on Mock the Week or one of his Live Tour DVDs)
bearbandit Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Posted January 28, 2014 Exactly - the number of guys in Australia I've pozzed on Growlr while I've been having my morning cup of tea... I get off on writing poz fiction, and the thought of other guys getting off on what I've written. The scene in Pozdaddy where Poz cuts his dick to be sure of pozzing Mochyn - well, it was a hell of a wank after I'd written that, but there's no way I'd do that with a neg guy (and very few poz guys).

Rayne Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 The Comedian Greg Davies said it well - "I can guarantee you, everyone on in this room has had a thought sometime today that if you told your partner, they would leave you." (that was either on Mock the Week or one of his Live Tour DVDs) I think that was on Mock the Week, but I'm not entirely sure... and I'm in the states lol. I remember hearing that quote, and it definitely rings true. I know something about my ex that would crush her relationship with her current bf, but there's no point in telling him; just like there's no point in him telling her a few things that she'd leave him over. We all have things that we are somewhat "ashamed" of, per se. This site reminds me of The Dirty, and remotely of a site that was "satirical" about the war in Iraq that was fairly controversial (if I think of the name, I'll post it). These sites are not necessarily against human freedoms, so to speak, but the ripple effect that occurs is far from worth condoning the activities in any way. It's sad to see that people constantly listen to tabloid-based news. Then again, this is the world we live in, isn't it?
Alaric Posted January 29, 2014 Report Posted January 29, 2014 of pozzing Mochyn - . Mochyn - ROFL at Welsh pun
bearbandit Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 And they're off again, having added to the site over the past few hours and ranting like crazy on twitter. Going by the fact that I know a guy who knows two of the guys who were entrapped last night, I reckon they're based in North East England, probably the Tyne and Wear area. They're fighting their bigoted little corner in a very nasty manner. Whatever their motives, these guys are potentially dangerous: be careful when chatting and watch out for "entrapment" style questions/statements.

bearbandit Posted January 29, 2014 Author Report Posted January 29, 2014 So based in my neck of the woods you think? Almost certainly: one of the guys they targetted had a profile that said he lived in Gosforth and was less than ten miles away. Plus a friend who lives in Newcastle knew two of the guys targetted. At present the site only shows a few tweets but large screen-shots of the guy whose online mag I write for. West Midlands and Great Manchester police are investigating...
