We seem to be in the middle of another round of fake accounts posting here frequently. /r/yoopersforfun has a fair chunk of members for as small/sparsely populated as the UP is, two moderators and no real community rules. So it's up to you dudes(and yes, it's membership is heavily skewed male) to watch out for yourselves on the internet and engage the brain in your heads sometimes and not just the smaller one in your pants that likes to try and run the show.

If you're here you are likely an 18-40 year old guy looking to see, talk to and/or meet up with somebody in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan/Northern Wisconsin/Bridge area - cool, that's what this is for. And yes, there are folks older than 40 who know how to operate the Internet and Reddit and make their way here and there are absolutely women and couples who make their way here too - they are however a much smaller percentage of the now 3200 people who are members of this here subreddit.

Things to pay attention to/watch out for:

If it looks to good to be true, it very likely is

Meaning: If some incredibly hot person with well lit professional photography quality pictures posts themselves here - boobs or ass lifted to the heavens or a closeup of their bits so detailed you can see their tonsils - Perhaps you should take a beat before posting thirsty requests to know where they are or what you'd like to do to them and instead click on their profile and spend 15 seconds to figure out if they are a real person or a spam bot.

What's a fake account/spam bot/bot look like?

• These accounts typically aren't very old, because as they get figured out by the system they get banned.
• The subject of their post is often AI generated "sexy" word salad
• The script/programing of the bot will post the same content in a wide variety of places, sometimes targeted into genres but the bad ones just spam open adult themed subreddits.
• They'll have absolutely no connection to the UP, Northern Wisconsin or Michigan - You'll see posts here, and posts made to other small geographically related unmodderated/rule-less subreddits.
• They don't post to typically interact, its often to drive interest to their onlyfans/fansly/justforfans - the more elaborate bots/scripts that post do collect information on who reacts, which then gets fed back into other tools like AI chatbots that will start DM'ing you trying to get you to subscribe to something/pay for something or to add to some commercial database/profile to get sold to third parties if they can stitch enough information together about you to sell that data.

What I'm not saying is that you should not interact or stop posting here - I love that /r/yoopersforfun exists, human adults should have a place like this, and with as geographically isolated as we Yoopers are I think we need places like this and to support the folks who have the guts to post here.

Just stop getting cat fished by spambots that post here. If you want to hoot and holler and post thirsty things at porn on the internet(🖐️guilty) there are literally thousands of subreddits out there to do that on, keep /r/yoopersforfun free of fake posters and appreciate all the real people who do post here. To report - click the three little dots at the bottom of the post to the right of the Share and Save buttons and choose "Report", Spam, etc.

Also the one or two of you who have posted peoples real names on here either looking for them or talking about them here - knock that shit off, 1) it's creepy as hell 2) nowhere here did they consent to that shit, just eww.

Good luck out there Yoopers, stay safe.
