I have tried more than 4 times to delete my account with Myspace, and I have contacted their help and support e-mail 2-3 times. This company will not delete my account.

I've been targeted by a few 13 year old girls and it's been non-stop for 9 months or so. They targeted me from a game app that I play on MySpace called "Friend Factory" made by Zynga. I was accused of being this other player who they have also targeted. I tried to reason with them, but they just kept getting worse. Over the last 9 months, they have accused me of being a pedo, taken my picture and posted it all over the Friend Factory forum, made fake profiles, accuse other players of being me, and continued to send out personal insults.

I have reported this many times to MySpace and they told me it was Zynga's problem since it was their forum. I reported it to Zynga many times too and they will tell me to report it to MySpace. Meanwhile the forum on MySpace continues to go unmonitored being flooded with pictures of mine and personal insults with false accusations. I cannot get MySpace to respond to me on the fake profile either. This has been ongoing way too long. And from what I hear from some other players, they have been dealing with this longer than I have.

MySpace is allowing porn to be visible to minors via Bumper Stickers app. There is one with comments from children. I reported it 10 times and they still hav it up. Not only that, but they have one set of rules for female images, and another for male images. As a test, I put up a male image that was no more graphic than the female ones. It was removed within hours.

I have a couple of accounts on Myspace and lately have come under attack. I will give you a little history first. The accounts are music pages and are doing very, very good, all positive feed backs. At one point we had about a thousand hits (people looking at the page) All of a sudden I started losing how many profile views on my site, like over 700.

I wrote myspace and at the same time I could not send requests to people too check out my site and sign on. Again I sent emails to myspace. They sent out the same generic response. This has been going on four weeks now. Also I got a strange email which I sent to myspace and ask if they sent it and all of a sudden they did not respond to that question, I wrote them again about how I can't send requests and once again ask about the strange email.

They responded about the other matter which I consider some remark and not about the strange email. I keep the emails that was sent and the ones they sent. There is something going on over there and seeing these complaints. An investigation needs to be done. I am willing to let you have access to my account in order to catch whatever is going on over there. I can't build fan base which in the end means I can't make money. This is stressful and frustrating. There are a lot more things going on with them and we the people need action.

I am a published songwriter who have used MySpace for years to connect with colleagues around the world. I am the sole owner of all rights to my music and wrote all the music and lyrics for every song on my site. I have never violated any terms of the site and am an upstanding citizen, yet without warning or explanation, my page was deleted. It has been over a week, and I have sent countless e-mails to MySpace requesting an explanation, but no one has responded. Interestingly, the terms do say that they can delete anyone at any time for any reason or NO REASON, so whereas they certainly have a legal right to arbitrarily delete a person's page, it certainly is a very poor business model to use! I would strongly advise against any serious musician using MySpace, as you are always vulnerable to the staff removing your page at will. I've lost all my contacts through MySpace, and the worst part for me is that the staff refuses to respond to my inquiries regarding their decision. What a terrible disservice MS does to the public when they delete people's pages for no reason at all!

Kimberly of Four Oaks, NC July 24, 2009

My 10 year old son used a computer outside of our home to create a "MySpace" account. He has older, very riksy looking "friends" on his profile. I have PROOF that i have contacted "MySpace" numerous times only to be told that his profile "appears" to be that of an adult. I do not know how to delete it and my son says the passcode is "tricky" and he does not remember what it is. "MySpace" will NOT delete it and is allowing it to stay open and if my son is able to get computer access (we strictly monitor internet usage at home) away from home, he can access this account and be open for predators.

By "MySpace" allowing it stay open because of appearence, we are telling children that it is OK to lie. If you want something, just lie about it. I can provide all the documentation that I have on this. Also, he is my step-son, that my husband and I have FULL custody. The judge ordered the only contact he can have with his mother is through snail mail and her responses are to be monitored. I can provide custody order also. He has contacted her on "MySpace" in an effort to tell her to "grow up". Is there anything I can do to stop this??? Please advise.

I haven't been able to post a bulletin in about four days now. I can see everyone else's and I can type things on there. I can even press Post Bulletin and it says Bulletin Has Been Posted. Yet when I go to the Bulletin Board, it never appears. I've never had this happen before, but it's pretty inconvenient.

Abbe of Albany, NY July 10, 2009

Someone created an imposter profile and I followed myspace's directions was assured contact in 48 hrs and nothing has been done. the profile contains untrue information in combination with personal information like my phone number a photo of me and more.
