Forum Etiquette

[Wind Song]

One of the staunchest rules of forum etiquette is not posting personal information about another poster. Even if that poster has all but drawn a map to his house, posting a real name or address is considered grounds for a permanent ISP (http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-isp.htm) ban on most forums. This could compromise someone's safety.

This is probably the most serious breach of forum etiquette and most moderators take it very seriously.

[logroller]

Well you're certainly entitled to an opinion; and one can give it whatever weight they so desire. However, I believe the Supreme Court of the United States has determined that disclosing one's name is not a violation of US privacy law. If a moderator wants to enforce a more stringent rule solely within the context of the forum, they can do so at their own discretion. Thanks for posting though :thumb:

[jimnyc]

Oh please, get over it, I called you by your first name. My apologies. But it's far from stalking, harassment or giving out directions to your house, wherever the fuck you live. I call many people on this board by their first names at times, once they tell me what it is. Generally I do so in a respectful manner, but for you I did it to poke fun at you, because you're an idiot.

[jimnyc]

And I'm unsure why you would place this in a "legal" forum. Even divulging your entire name, address and anything else that is considered "public information" is legal.

And actually, I believe all the admins have had their first names disclosed; no?

Most forums do not allow members to disclose personal information including real names. The fact that a moderator, who has access to real names and email addresses, would so casually post that kind of information without permission in a forum is an abuse of power.

Most forums take care to protect their members privacy. Most forums don't have moderators that are this sloppy.

YOU signed that name to me when you sent me a message about 5 months back. Sue me for having a good memory. I have no access to real names, only email addresses, which I haven't provided.

You disclosed private information that I sent you from a PM in the open forum. What's next?

Next I tell everyone just how low your IQ really is.

Most people find it a breach of etiquette to openly discuss their sexual lifestyle...but such is the power of freedom.

You'll survive this calamity. You have my sincere apologies. Most people that divulge their first names don't give a crap if you use it or not.

[Wind Song]

You don't have that information. I haven't given it to you.

You abused your position. You should not have disclosed my real name.

[jimnyc]

You don't have that information. I haven't given it to you.

You abused your position. You should not have disclosed my real name.

No, that had nothing to do with my "position". You signed your name, I used your name.

[Wind Song]

No, that had nothing to do with my "position". You signed your name, I used your name.
You had no business using any of my personal information from PM in open forum.

As a moderator, you should be held to a higher standard of conduct.

I never disclose personal info shared in a PM with the forum. Why even have a PM function if the PMs aren't private?

Most forums have this rule:

Do not disclose any other member's email, real name, address, phone number, IP address, or other personal information. This includes the posting contents of emails and private messages without the sender's consent.

[jimnyc]

You had no business using any of my personal information from PM in open forum.

Haven't we addressed this already in like the past 5 posts? Are you just going to continue to repeat yourself, as if using your name will magically become the crime of the century. Get over yourself, no one gives a flying fuck what your name is anyway. And I already explained I didn't think you would get pissed, and apologized. If that ain't good enough for you, eat shit.

Jim can be a dick at at times when get gets mad, but you can be a mighty bitch at times to.

Disclosing your name is NOT abusing his "power" as admin. I've never seen Jim abuse his "power." It might however be a small breach of the rule against posting information gained in a PM. a VERY minor one however, and you know it. A simple response of "well I may have told you my name, but you told me all about your 2 inch dick" would have been more appropriate than a whine.

and funnier to, by my count that would have been 55 women in the last month who posted about Jim's 2" pecker. :laugh2:

And some don't allow deviant queers either. What's your point? Your email hasn't been disclosed, nor your full name, nor IP address, nor any other crap you can stretch this into. Now please, STFU already, all you're doing is drawing more attention to yourself. Kinda funny actually.

I think you're getting a little too upset over this personally, its just a first name-- mine's David. Doesn't really expose my privacy to greatly IMHO. There's a lot of other davids in the world, and I'm guessing there's another one on this site-- but there's only one logroller here!
So what brings you here; if there is such a plethora of superbly moderated forums?
I honestly want to know-- I've never frequented any other forum.

[jimnyc]

Disclosing information from PM's is an abuse of admin power.

Oh please, it's nothing to do with being an admin. Now again, please, just STFU.

[Wind Song]

Use of bigoted slurs and the N word?

Your comment.

Most forums have this rule:

Do not use profanity, racial, ethnic, religious, or other slurs, or post, or any other offensive material.

And this one:

Do not post any messages that harass, insult, belittle, threaten or flame another member or guest.

[jimnyc]

Is your name used openly on USMB, of which I am a member of?

[Wind Song]

Is your name used openly on USMB, of which I am a member of?

No, it isn't.

[jimnyc]

No, it isn't.

So you won't mind me placing links here where your name is used freely on USMB?

[logroller]

No, it isn't.
So I couldn't find one instance of your first name used on another forum. Somehow I doubt that...its not that unique.

Nigger please you're being dumb here.

Disclosing your first name from a PM is NOT an abuse of admin . If you wrote to me and told me your first name , I could just as easily post it on the board as Jim did. Now what WOULD have been an abuse is if as I suggested you made a joke about Jim telling you about his 2" dick and he banned you for disclosing PMs when he himself did it. Jim doesn't play that game. Not that I've seen anyway. There are some mods and admins on various boards who do that shit, but that's not Jim.

By the way les, my first name is Aaron , good luck finding me. Here I'll one better , I live in Arkansas. That narrows it down to about 15,000 and some change people.

Sheesh

[jimnyc]

Her friend, or enemy, named "Kat" calls her that over on USMB, and I don't see her complaining over there. I guess she gave her permission. But if you don't mind it, and give permission, than why whine here?

Nope. Catzmeow was banned from a forum for her use of personal information gleaned in PM's.

Same reason some posters are known by an abbreviated version of their long screen name , but go ape shit crazy when one of the "unapproved" use the same . Bitches be crazy Jim, accept it and move on.:laugh2:

Hey, FYI--you left back porch light on.:laugh2:

[jimnyc]

I do not disclose my real personal identity on forums. Most forums protect privacy.

It's already been mentioned by regular members here that you are/were "Sky Dancer" from USMB, who gets called "Dorothy" over there as well.

[jimnyc]

Nope. Catzmeow was banned from a forum for her use of personal information gleaned in PM's.

No, this is just "Kat", and the account is not banned.

[Wind Song]

What's more personal an identity than your sexual preference-- and you wear that like a badge of pride. or is that not real?

[Wind Song]

No, this is just "Kat", and the account is not banned.
I have NEVER given any poster permission to use my real name on a forum.

[Wind Song]

My real name, my address, my phone number, etc etc.

[jimnyc]

I have never given anyone permission to use my real name on a forum.

Then don't tell people you post with your name, and don't allow it to be openly used on another forum, especially of the same topic - case you haven't noticed, word travels.

[Wind Song]

It's already been mentioned by regular members here that you are/were "Sky Dancer" from USMB, who gets called "Dorothy" over there as well.

Nobody has every called me by real name on open forum at USMB.

Most forums do not even permit the use of the former screen names used on other forums, like Sky Dancer.

[ConHog]

Nope. Catzmeow was banned from a forum for her use of personal information gleaned in PM's.

What the fuck are you whining about here? Let me tell you about a REAL violation of mod "powers" Dorothy. On another board one of the mods gave my IP and email address to a person who is was and is known to hate me. That person used that information to try to get me in trouble with my The Arkansas National Guard, my IP provider, AND my wife.

If and when Jim puts up with someone doing that OR does it himself, I'll be off this board before you can blink. I don't think that will happen though.

[jimnyc]

I'll let you have the last say, retard, so have your say and I'm closing this up. My head hurts from you saying the same fucking thing over and over.

[jimnyc]

Nobody has every called me by real name on open forum at USMB.

I'm looking at it right now, and the member who said it was "Kat". I'll send the link to CH for independent verification...

[logroller]

My real name, my address, my phone number, etc etc.
]yes, combined that constitutes an identity. Your first name though..not so much.

[Wind Song]

Then don't tell people you post with your name, and don't allow it to be openly used on another forum, especially of the same topic - case you haven't noticed, word travels.
Don't disclose personal information shared in a PM without that persons expressed permission.

I have NEVER allowed my real name to be openly used on ANY forum.

[ConHog]

Hey, FYI--you left back porch light on.:laugh2:

If you ever make it to Arkansas , you can come in through the front door, like a welcomed guest my friend.

I'd have Jim come through the back door in deference to his preferences. :lol:

[jimnyc]

Link of it being used openly sent to CH.

[ConHog]

hmmmm

Windy, Kat DID call you Skydancer/Dorothy and you didn't utter ANY objections.

[Abbey Marie]

You disclosed private information that I had not and would not have shared on open forum.

Funny story. A good buddy of mine went to visit someone in Arkansas; but his friend wasn't home and told him to just go in, have beer, and he'd be home shortly. So he did. Only 45 minutes after arriving he heard the door open and it wasn't his friend-- he had the wrong house. The people were super polite, understanding of the honest mistake, even let him finish his beer before giving him a ride to his friend's actual house.

WS is a full blown liberal nutcase. She seems to think there is some sort of internet police and thought police that she can report things too that she doesn't like. She pretends to be offended at everything posted on this board and wants to somehow censor what is said here cause she doesn't agree with it.

WS, your not going to change anything here. Your not going to recruit anyone. If you don't like what's said here, don't come here. There are plenty of leftie boards around where you can plot and skeem about conservatives and how to silence them. Your whining and complaining is not going to change Jim's policies. He believes in free speech, while you believe in controlling speech you don't like. Just like a true liberal you like to blow things out of proportion.

Is your name really Dorthy, or is it Judy or Denise or George? It's the internet. You could be anybody. Is that your picture in your avatar? Or maybe you look more like the bearded dude DMP was using. I have a name for you that incorporates all your qualities as a poster. SILLY GOOSE.

Bottom line. Don't disclose private information from PM's on open forum.

Read your own rules:

Any communication between members and/or staff via the private message system will remain private. Discussing of PM's on the forum without explicit permission will result in disciplinary action.

My name was posted in a PM. I did NOT give ANYONE permission to use it in open forum.

Your own moderators don't abide by the rules.

How about butch dyke? A queer is a queer, male or female. There are many names for homo's, I use them all to show my disdain for them. There is no such thing as African American. There are black or brown Americans but they are all Americans. That's just a politically correct term created by the MSM to placate niggers. A few good examples of niggers would be jesse jackson, al sharpton and charlie rangel.

And you're an ugly bull dyke, and a hypocritical liar, as you've been allowed to post your crap all day long. But this one is about to be closed up, then you might have to find a few brain cells to post in "normal" threads.
