What do you guys do when you know someone is looking at your photos in an inappropriate manner?

Example: I posted a cosplay pic I took of catwoman. Nothing devious about the image itself. Someone faved it. I checked him out and was very unhappy to see the other photos he faved--it was obvious he gets off on the latex suit she was wearing. I blocked him, which removes his ability to fave my images. He can still see them publically, and download anything I make public--I didn't see the need to remove the ability to do that here, since he probably already had it.

God only knows what he did with the image. My watermark is on it and I definitely don't want my name associated with porn sites. Still, nothing I can do...

Nothing you can do, but one of the reasons why I wont post images of children. Mine or anyone elses. Luckily I am not a family/child photographer! A teacher in our state was just arrested for photoshopping students heads onto other bodies and loading them up on porn sites. This was 6 months ago. He had been doing it for 2 years before he was caught.

Same for me. To me, it's not the right time to review photos shortly after having shit them. I delete immediately obviously bad photos directly from the SD cards. I decide to do serious reviews of photos on my computer when I have time, usually during days of bad weather, it can be more than 6 months after the photos are taken.

Deleting images in-camera increases the risk of corrupting the card. Better to download onto your computer first and then delete the irretrievably bad images.

I must admit I don't delete anything. Storage is relatively cheap for digital images, I've been doing it for almost a decade and don't find too much of a problem keeping them all.

My crime is that I don't tend to go back and look too closely at them often enough. I take a set of images, upload them and pick put a few good ones for immediate processing and distribution (family, forums, book of face etc), and then might not go back to them for months. I have found myself learning a new post-processing technique and then going back through the archives for something suitable to try it on, but in general I don't linger over previous images.

I guess I'm quick to judge, if I see it and like it immediately then I take the time to study it further. If I don't like it I move on to the next. I promise myself on a regular basis that I will go back and review / retouch the old ones and make myself a portfolio of my best images, but to date I haven't had the time to spare.
