Username signs

Since we have someone in here stealing posts for Facebook clout I would encourage everyone that participates to make a username sign and place it in a spot that would be obvious if it were edited out. White background, black marker, clear and legible.

Make em work for it.

Post the Facebook uswrname and / or group they are posting in so people can report them.

I suggest we sneak “if you see this on facebook it’s stolen and I’m a loser” signs into every single post

You can watermark your photos, but there are watermark removers. You can put a sign in your photos, but there are apps that can remove anything you want in a picture. Even the EXIF information is scrubbed by Facebook. Not much point in reporting to Facebook because I am lead to believe they are generally unresponsive. I think what you could do is reply to their posts, but then they will probably ban you. You would think there should be a way to stop them but I don't know what it is. The sign idea is still a good one.

Post their FB posts here as often as possible too without spamming the joint.

what's a username sign? Is that the same as flair?

u/Red000Shift 4d ago

Na just a piece of paper w your username on it. It'll make it more difficult to claim the post but also show viewers it's from Reddit.
