This is a Fucking Travesty

You're right, he never posted the link. However, he posted the exact information that anyone, even someone not from here, would need to search for to find the article. Y'all are getting hung up on "posting a link." Even your mods were hung up on that until they were correceted. As has been demonstrated, the guideline about outing doesn't mention "posting a link", it mentions "any attempt to connect a person's real world info to their username." He certainly did that.



His intelligence is now in doubt...he obviously wasn't as smart as some of you think, now is he? Your quote is the most damning part actually. When he first saw the article, he knew it contained personal info about board members. He then decided to direct people to that personal info in the hopes that someone would out that info here. His malicious intent, and deliberate actions make the outing he did all the more heinous.



That's correct. This board doesn't have any guidelines concerning the personal information of non-members. Post the alerts all you want...better make sure that they're not members first. If you can't do that, you may face the consequences of outing.



He could have done all he could do to keep that link from being posted by not posting his thread at all. His intention was to mention it, so they'd get outed, and people would get banned. As he said, his "plan backfired."



Incorrect. I didn't spin this at all. If you choose to delude yourself into thinking he didn't out those two people, feel free.

Outing or threats of outing are taken seriously. Membership here is anonymous and for the privacy of our members it will remain that way. That means any effort or attempt to connect a person's real world information to their username on this board will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. This includes real names, employment, medical info, addresses past or present, images, criminal or driving record, etc. We expect everyone who participates here to respect and go to great lengths to protect the anonymity and privacy of one another. Reckless disregard or accidental outing will also be taken very seriously


Any effort or attempt.


Yep he did that and he knew damn well what he was doing as he admitted it in the thread.


on we go boys.,

I wasn't referring to the level of discourse...I was in the Army for a long time, I can get down to all sorts of low levels of conversation...

I was speaking of the intelligence level...y'all are some checker playing motherfuckers down here...and osd managed to lose his game...

Isn't name calling of members in violation of guidelines? If someone is referring to members as retarded, shouldn't they be called out for it?

I agree that news reports of simple prostitution busts shouldn't be posted here. That's part of the hobby. But when other serious things come to light it changes the equation as far as I'm concerned. Like a history of burglarizing people's homes. That's a big deal. I'm sure guys who like to host would like to know if they're inviting a potential burglar into their home. For that reason I didn't have a problem with that particular news article being posted here.

Depends. Guidelines 1,3 and 4 are all judgement calls, meaning the moderator has incredible leeway to interpret how they get enforced.

If you look back at my posts, I never specifically called any one member a retard. I called groups of members retards. I called ideas retarded. I called imaginary people retards. To even think about invoking the guideline, I need to have directed that hostility toward a specific member.

Leaving that aside, saying "generalbob is a retard" is hardly comparable to "generalbob is a fucking cunt", now is it? Those three guidelines can be used to stifle any conversation on this board, if interpreted as narrowly as the guidelines allow. A good moderator doesn't stifle conversation. We're all grownups here. We've all been called worse in our real lives, let alone by blinky pixels on a computer screen who don't mean shit to us. In my opinion, a mod should have almost no cause to invoke any of them.

Trying to use those guidelines to get me in trouble, because you don't like my actions here over the past 24 hours, just illustrates how frustrated you are that a popular poster self destructed. "Retard" has been posted over a hundred times in these forums, with over 70% of the times being directed at a specific individual. I never saw you complain in any of those circumstances.

We understand your frustration. No one likes it when popular posters disappear. However, you need to get over it. osd outed two people...deliberately...with malicious intent. It doesn't get worse than that. The fact that I'm here, forcing action to be taken, is a good thing, because without me, that thread would still be up, outing those two members with ever pay new view. You may not like me, but I serve a purpose.

P.S.-Trust me, I get less leeway than anyone with insults. I'm so hated that every mod on this board is lining up to point me into a ban that will stick. I'm so hated that any one mod can't actually ban me. I'm the one soul that St.C would come up here to collect himself.

Irrelevant. She's a member. Her criminal history doesn't belong on this board. You don't get to discuss it, or reveal it. If you're so worried about inviting girls into your home that you want others to out them to feel safe about it, then I'd suggest that you start doing incalls.

First it was judgmental mother fuckers, now it's sensitive mother fuckers.

I should pay closer attention to determine how arbitrary the exercise of power by the mods is?

Not really.

Is this another one of those gay men's club things?

Still waiting for the OP to be banned:

I have no problem with you ignoring how arbitrary or not your mods exercise their power. But the second you come back in here and bitch about a mod decision, you get the moron label applied to you. It's like voting. If you don't vote, you lose the right to bitch about government without being automatically called a fucking retard.

If you or I call Highway a retard, points. If we call DD a retard, warning whine. If Wakeup calls Paul a retard, legitimacy.

Tho that threD is still up, some folks still can't get a tingle from the guidelines as scripture. No oomph from finding hidden meaning in nuance whew

[roscoe14850]

You all realize this thread is just a waste of time right? No matter what guidelines or rules have or not been broken could really matter less. It is a privately owned enterprise discussing an illegal (in most places) hobby and St. C and his Admins. Can run it how they want based on whatever interpretation of written or unwritten rules they want to use. As long as it has members it will sell ads and be viable. If you want Wakeup to go away, stop poking the gorilla.

granted i rather enjoy when i see our Texas friends come up to upset. The problem i have is that it had to take some one to come in and force the issue that should have been caught. something minor i could see getting missed but some thing this big is just nuts to be missed. now after almost 24 hours we have thread closed, people banned, and yet thread is still up.
