    Bro, why is it that you're the latecomer who pisses everyone off, yet you hop all over well liked older staff members?

    Someone disclosed personal info on purpose in a sig. How is that any different than when people disclose it in a post? If anything, it's worse - as a sig attaches to every single post made by that poster making the likelihood of exposure exponentially greater.

    I'm surprised no one has been banned over this seeing how eliteforge has such a hard-on for banning over personal information, regardless of how or where that information was discovered.

    Trust me it is the best way. Let them complain in public but tell them they are to stop annoying you mods in private over it. You'll hear no more talk on the subject and if they can't stop complaining in private and spamming your inboxes they can find another board or you will make them find another board.

    It really is that simple. Put your foot down and demand they drop the subject as it has already been ruled on. Garamet's real name is public knowledge and was released on this board by her.

    We don't know personal information was released. 14th Doctor hasn't bothered to send me that screenshot yet. :bergman:

    Are you whining about Garamet? She and her boyfriend are public figures.

    Even still there are things that you can't discuss about them. It's a little complicated because they are public figures and Garamet is a member of this board (before the ban) but public information on a public person is fair game.

    If Garamet made a splash in the news (crazy writer attacks Star Trek Convention screaming ENTERPRISER!!!!) that would certainly be public. However talking about where her kids live and do for a living would not since she to my knowledge never discussed those subjects on this board in the open.

    You just want him to post it so that you can then say he 'released' it.

    Jamey did what he's been accused of doing, otherwise 'they' wouldn't be discussing it.

    Although, I have to wonder what there is to discuss.

    And you, Zombie, have really gone out on a limb on this one - since you were so adamant about the rules being upheld on previous occasions.

    Maybe 14thDoc could link to the thread where Peter did what he is accusing him of.

    Doesn't matter if the post was edited.

    Unless he already did, and I missed it. :clyde:

    When Garamet got banned, Tamar linked us to the thread where it happened. :shrug:

    Petey had it in his signature. He's, obviously, since changed his signature.

    As I said, signatures can cause far more harm than just a one time post buried in a long thread.

    Wordforge could stand to lose a few histrionic drama queens and cowardly trolls anyway, in my humble opinion. Threads like this are an excellent way of identifying such targets.

    If this is in reference to what I said in the 'garamet' thread in the red room, I could provide links to what people have said when I've asked if they like to come over.

    Maybe. But IMHO, doing the exact same thing that just got another poster banned, and doing it in the Help Desk no less, is basically the same thing as sending a PM to Lanz asking to be banned...

    Yes, asking that rules be applied fairly and equitably is enough to drive away many decent posters - by the fact that there is a necessity to ask.

    You mean "pulling the same annoying little stunts under the insultingly obvious pretense of lobbying for 'equal treatment'". There would be no problems if people would just grow the fuck up and stop causing them. But that would ruin their fun, and that's the real reason for shit like this.

    Not sure where you're going there, but Peter was the one who posted 14thDoctor's personal information.

    Yea, 14thDoctor did it, got banned for it, and hasn't done it since.

    But, Petey ... well, he gets a free pass.

    You really insist on using that name, don't you?

    Why not just lock your own account and be done with it?

    I don't want my personal information fucked with. I have been very careful to avoid spreading it around Wordforge and related places.

    Problem is, I foolishly shared some personal information with Tamar through PMs, and she reposted it on TK. And now it's being used against me here.



    Do you think that's fair? Do you think that's nothing worth getting worked up over?

    I agree. But, hey, rules are rules.

    Sorry. Jamey. How's that?

    And, Peter Octavian isn't his real name, either, so why does it matter?

    I don't get it. Petey is a riff on "Peter Octavian," which was Jamey Whistlers original username.

    What's the problem?

    Yes. I thought the Second in charge of the board was trustworthy.

    Obviously, I deserve to suffer for that. :borg:

    There is nothing wrong with that username, as far as I can tell. If someone already used it as their handle, then it's fair game. It would be like banning anyone from using Nick Walczuk or Dan Leach after they changed their names.

    And 14th Doc doesn't have a legit complaint unless he's willing to give us links. If he doesn't want to reveal anything here, he should PM an admin. But instead, he's used the Help Desk as a sounding board to create more drama.

    They should throw out his complaint just based on his immature actions and behavior.

    To a signature that's already been changed?
    I did. On Saturday.
    Yes, because I didn't get any response to PMs I sent on Saturday.




    The delay here is fucking ridiculous. What can there possibly be to discuss? :shrug:
