i need help from people all around the world please.

Hey people, I’m just asking for your help for my 5th anniversary present for my boyfriend. It’s ok if you can’t help but I just thought I’d ask . Anyway, as I said, its our 5th anniversary so I wanted to do something a bit special, none of that pointless present giving. So, what I’m doing, is asking people around the world to take a photo in their town/environment that says “Cara loves Jeremy”. So far, I’ve had a friend write it in the snow in Canada, and another example another mate wrote it on a stop sign in the CBD of Brisbane, Australia.
Basically, the idea is that I want to get photos from as many countries around the world to kinda, I guess represent the 5 years we been together. It’s kinda cheesey but I wanna see if I can pull it off. If you can do it, pretty please email a picture to: [email protected] or [email protected]

I’d really appreciate it guys Hope to hear back from u. If you know anyone else in a cool place in the world that could do it too could you pass this on, that would be awesome:
Cara

um, I'm not spamming? I'm asking people in other forums from other countries too. Kinda the reasoning behind the concept of asking people around the world.

So every year you do the same thing?

I think the novelty has worn off after the first time in 2006.

er, no i don't do it every year. I tried it first in 2006 but i only got 4 photos prior to the date, then a few more after the anniversary. So, i decided to try again this year. I don't see what its such a problem, you can easily just not help instead of attacking.

This forum get awful lot of spam and scam posts... and I still don't think yours is legit.

Mif · Post by **Mif** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 3:02 am

How is it not legit? Do you really think i would be coming back here if i was a bot/spammer, do you think they'd really bite back. Believe what you like, but im just trying to do something different for a challenge. I'm a real person, have a real boyfriend and just trying to do something cool for a present idea.

Spammers are usually bots, scammers aren't...

Mif · Post by **Mif** » Wed Dec 12, 2007 3:05 am

ok, clearly you're not going to believe me so fine. I'll go on my merry way and not "spam" here.

I always thought that spammers just put one post and then never come back, so maybe there's SOME kind of truth in the post?

I was wondering what they wrote it with, too.

The matter of the fact is that this is either a spam/scam, since if nothing else this person wants our time/attention/whatever, in which case he/she should be able to produce photos of her and her bf and the previous years photos

OR this person is has no imagination, since this has already been done before last year AND is lazy, since he/she wants to someone else to do all the work for her.

I could do it with the following terms:

- a fee or a compensation
- the copyright of the photos stay with me
- I get a written and signed copyright agreement clearly stating that the photo is for private use only and any public display has to have prior consent of the owner of the copyrights
- photo ID needs to be provided by the licensee of the photo

It's a new economy out there, where people and companies are competing and the commodity is not always our money, but also our time and/or out attention.

Anyway, by posting the same message on multiple forums, which does not have relevance to the forum, is in my opinion SPAM.
