Genesis

So basically when I first joined Facebook midway through 2010, I was a naive 14 or 15 year old girl just using it to share crap with my friends and play "It Girl". Does anyone else remember that game? I was hugely addicted to it.

Anyway, not long afterwards I started getting inbox messages from random guys. Being a naive 14 or 15 year old girl I responded to most of them. I was sociable and friendly. The problem was that a lot of these guys were perverts who just wanted to have sex chat with a 14 or 15 year old girl. Initially I either ignored them or politely told them to fuck off. However, because I'm a naturally sarcastic girl with a wicked sense of humour as a result of having a dad who brought me up watching old shows like Monty Python and Red Dwarf, I soon started mocking them.

Then this guy came along and this one was just too brilliant not so share with all of my friends. And so began the long running inbox saga which I'm sure is what triggered Facebook to form their community standards...
