    Of course, I'll eventually stop if the person I'm trolling complains enough, but I don't want to get banned for it or anything, even if it's my second offense this year.

    Is that okay?



    Because it sure seems like it's okay. :bailey:

    Your dick is hard as hell thinking about finding a way to get rid of Jamey, isn't it?

    Didn't this same kind of obsession end badly for you last time?

    Do yourself a favor and stop now.

    If it's posted in the Red Room, it's fair game. That seems to be the general rule here. If you used the information from that Red Room post and dug around Google a bit, that is also fair game, as seen by the many examples of the dreaded Tamarchives at work.

    If the same thing was done in regards to a Blue Room post, or something found on Big Blue then that is when in gets iffy and the banhammer may fall on your ass.

    Which brings up an interesting point actually. We don't seem to have too many consistent rules when it comes to the flashing of personal information here. Whether or not that is a good thing, is up to the membership to decide.

    There's only one rule on this: if it was posted by you, on Wordforge, then it's fair game. You are the only person who can "release" your own personal info, to include real name. Anything else is out of bounds.

    The exception to this rule, of course, being Blue Room material released by you, right?

    Of course.

    The Blue Room is zero tolerance on repeating anything in there. Well, repeating someone else's stuff from in there anyway.

    This could use a bit of clarification, as a tidbit posted in all innocence could lead to a bounty of information never intended to be released for the shrewd and persistent googler.

    It wouldn't be a problem if we weren't forced to try and exactly specify the rule for all the wankers who try to push the boundaries on it and find loopholes.

    Don't want your info used - don't put it on the internet.

    And it wouldn't be a problem if there weren't the retarded rule to begin with. :shrug:

    Remember the polarslam pedo-accusation rule? That was a rule that people pushed the boundaries of, and some got banned because of it. Once we got rid of it, what happened? Everyone called everyone else a pedo non-stop, 24/7. It was a clusterfuck and a nightmare of monumental proportions!!11

    Oh wait, no, that did not happen. Golly gee.

    Bullshit.

    The rule is simple and very specific and would leave no room for loopholes or boundary pushing.

    No personal information may be posted on this board by anyone other then the poster themselves who the personal information references. Once that poster releases on their own, personal information on WORDFORGE (notice how no other website is listed) and the personal information is NOT in the Blue Room then it is fair game FOREVER by other posters.

    See? Couldn't get any simpler.

    There are no loopholes or boundary pushing bullshit excuses for you mods to whine over.

    Simple checklist:

    #1 Did the poster who the personal information concerns release the information on Wordforge and not in the Blue Room? Yes see option A. No see option B.

    Option A: "Fuck you poster for being stupid and posting your information on this board. You've no fucking business complaining at all. Stop wasting our time."

    Option B: "We will edit out the info and ban the motherfucker who posted your personal information."

    Why makes you think it's Jamey? Is his trolling of another member with their personal information that obvious, or did he tell you what he was doing?

    :chris:

    It wasn't posted on Wordforge by the person in question.


    So... why isn't the person guilty of breaking the personal information rule for the second time this year permabanned already? Are we now allowed to get away with it twice?

    Well yeah. Just look at Garamet. It took three times for her. :diacanu:

    I think instead of crying over this rule there should be a rule on bannings. Third time you're banned? Good bye forever........

    Of course that's provided that anyone you happen to be whining about in the report posts section of this website actually broke a rule. Snitch. :borg:

    I swear to fucking god, man.... you're like my cat. He thinks he's invisible if he doesn't look at you. Or you're like a two year old who doesn't think sound travels when he's busting into the snack cabinet.

    You are one seriously messed up dude and you need to learn how to put your emotions in check. Step-by-step, it's the same tantrum you pitched when Cassandra got the boot and you can't see it.

    I just want consistency. I accepted Cass and garamet being permabanned because I thought the policy under Lanzman was "Break the personal information more than once, you're gone forever."


    Apparently, that's not the case.

    Apparently, you now have to complain for a couple days if the personal information rule is even going to be enforced.

    You would think it is that simple isn't it, but yet despite the rule having been that way, and repeatedly explained as such for a long fucking time we still have quite a few people complaining anyone does something like use Garamets real name and saying that it should be fair game to go after them in return.

    First rules of modding: No matter how obvious and simple something appears on the surface (and you interpreted the rule perfectly) there will still be people who either cannot understand it or refuse to accept it.

    Those people have their own agenda and this "oh the rule is too complicated" bullshit is so transparent I could take a polaroid through it.

    Fuck those people.

    No, for the same reason O2C didn't directly show everyone what I got banned for back in January.

    Good God you're pathetic. :lol:

    It's a very simple process. Garamet used her real name on this board. It's public knowledge.

    Tell those posters who whine about other posters using her real name that if they don't like it they can leave the fucking board.

    Seriously.

    You mods need to put your damn foot on the throats of those who whine about Garamet's name being used. Her name is fair game because she herself posted it on this board outside of the blueroom. Stop being cowards about it.

    Fuck them if they can't understand it and fuck them even harder if they refuse to accept it.

    Yes. And O2C did nothing that was hidden. That shit was all over the board and that one thread. There was zero anything hidden.

    Cause as far as I'm concerned it didn't happen until I see it or someone trustworthy said it did. You're not exactly trustworthy. :bailey:

    Would those be the same people whose agenda also managed to get political threads into the Green Room while they trolled the Red Room versions while claiming they were above such things?
