My 45 day ban a while back would beg to differ.

Dude is a coward and a profiteering hypocrite IMO.

EDIT: And if you wonder why I'm so personally bitter directly with Michael, it's because he allowed Josh Zerlan to dox me using private information in BFL's customer database while Josh brazenly lied about it being public information. Oh, and where is BFL today ? Hmm...

I don't know anything about your ban, but I have personally seen two or three threads with Theymos dox in them on this site with no consequence to the OP or anyone else involved. I would expect that it was something else that you did. I don't have the info to know for certain, but that would be my first guess based on the info given.

The problem isn't the act of doxing for the most part, it is the factual doxing the correct person. I have seen so much wrong information posted it is unbelievable.
No SSID and other sensitive information should ever be allowed and doxing should only be the last resort.
IMO, no doxing should be allowed from an alt. or new account. If you post it and are wrong, you should suffer the consequences.

Not that I necessarily disagree, but there isn't a screening process. Who should be in charge of fact checking to make sure the right person is doxed, and that the information is accurate? If you do post inaccurate info, I suppose you lose credibility? Thats something of a consequence.

This forum allows a lot of stuff that should not, selling/buying accounts, even default trust ones, doxing people, some scams, some not, like ponzies and other ponzi related ´´games´´ and yes i know it´s to gather all ponzies in one place but is still kind of ridiculous. They are very strict about people spamming or posting useless stuff but not so much when it comes to scammers since they are never banned.

This one would take a really really long time to explain. These are all things that have been greatly debated. I'll give you the short answers, but you would have to check hundreds of pages of discussion to have a complete scope of the debate. Buying/Selling accounts is something that staff can't enforce a rule against. If we do, people will just go off site and do it without our knowledge, and then people will be under the impression that it doesn't happen, so bought/sold accounts will be able to do more damage. Out in the open, everyone is aware to take proper precautions when dealing with someone. Staff are not responsible for scams or scam attempts. Do your own due diligence when trading. Ponzis aren't a "scam" if you know that you are investing in them. No one is being tricked into depositing money into LUCKYPONZI thinking its a cloudmining site. Do what you want with your money, let people do what they want with theirs. And spam is indeed our prime directive. A moderator's main job here is to help keep the board as clutter free as possible for thoughtful discussion.

I see come contradictions in what SaltySpitoon posted.

1.

Dox stay up because it is typically meta data. If information about you can be found on social media/google, whatever, its not private.

2.

Quote

If someone has to steal your medical records from a hospital in order to release it, then that is not allowed, nor is posting someone else's social security number.

What I gather from this is that information that could somehow be publicly available, are allowed to be posted here. But in quote #2 it's stated that non-public information are not allowed. But what falls under your definition of non-public information? What if the doxed person claims none of the information released were publicly available?

I also didn't see the issue about false information being released. (Guess that would fall under the up for individuals to determine what is baseless logic?)

Social Security numbers, Unrelease medical records, etc. It sticks out pretty well when someone posts something they shouldn't have access to. Your name, address, phone number, etc are the common bits of information that I see. If you can find the info in a phone book (if they still existed) with a google search, on social media, whatever. Its not private information. If information is illegally obtained, then its not acceptable.

There is generally a huge contradiction. Either the admins are ALL willing to post their entire 'dox' information (as its all public record anyway, right?), or remove doxes when they serve no purpose / done maliciously. They'll say "but I'm anonymous", then.... surely everyone else wants to be?

The strange thing is, tons of people interact here on a daily basis and don't have their dox posted. There typically is a reason, or at least a percieved reason why people post each others dox. P.Gage is the only person I know of who has posted all of their own dox. I like to think most people here respect each others privacy until there is a reason not to. So when you say its contradictory that the Admins don't offer their information to everyone, that isn't applicable in the slightest. It would be more apt to say that if the Admins are accused of scamming and then delete their dox, that is a contradiction.
