Please exercise caution in poasting material you would not like repoasted by assholes. This is the Internet, after all. You can't control people absolutely.

Also, mods need to set a good example and be particularly cautious about sharing info that could be used to harass them. Part of being a mod is getting fucked with by anyone who knows they can get a rise out of you. They will intentionally put you in a position where you feel you have to use your mod powers for something relating to you, and then you will look bad. It makes me look bad, too.

I hate rules, but I guess this needed to be addressed.

Thoughts?

Nothing to see here boys, continue poasting shrewlia's fake lopsided tits with reckless abandon.

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANG!!!!!!

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657301)

The creepy part was that people have these pics saved on hard drives.

One Rule, Just Right.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657369)

Outting drives people away and creates a negative, hostile atmosphere that causes us to lose poasters

"no outting, period" should be the one and ONLY rule here

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657380)

hypo: a set of tits is poked and is displayed from the neck down. Does this violate the rule?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657387)

Stuff like RSFs brother spam is different

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657391)

This specific policy just protects people from their own idiocy.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657406)

But I also believe people make mistakes, and they shouldn't be punished for them forever.

Hell, I give spammers a second chance after banning them. Why shouldn't I give decent poasters a chance to regain their privacy after they give away too much about themselves?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657537)

The penalty for revealing something to the public is that it's out there, and it could be brought up again. But I don't want to condone repoasting it repeatedly, either, and say that it's only a violation if it's spam.

You shouldn't poast info you don't want to be out there in the general "group mind." I'll do my best to keep things from being repoasted, but I can't guarantee anything. And if you keep enabling it by continually revealing too much, I can guarantee less of an effort to protect your privacy.

Does that sound reasonable?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657477)

look I get that you're just trying to do the right thing and the "victims" of bad judgment are usually fempoasters who we collectively decided for some reason that we value having around.

but i think the spam rule covers it already. Most repoasts are being spammed rather than just a sporadic link posted by request

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657869)

This is true in general though. The weirdo lena chen spammer fag should've been banned for example. It's really not that hard to tell when someone is actively trying to fuck with a person's IRL vs just making fun of them for dumb shit, which should neither be modded nor a bannable offense.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34658852)

It totally contravenes the spirit of this place. It is extremely misguided to give these fucking people the incentive to attention whore by granting them some special right to "revoke" permission to discuss whatever they've voluntarily poasted.

Desiring the bort's attention comes with consequences -- that's always been the way this place has always been and it's what sets us apart from every other cesspool on the internet.

This place resembles Reddit more and more every fucking day.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657471)

I'm going to make less of an effort if someone knowingly violates this and expects privacy.

I actually agree with what you're saying about the spirit of this place.

I'm just saying that people have lapses of judgment and I don't want to punish them for it.

And yes, the photo thread is what prompted me to say anything.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657491)

This might sound good in the abstract, but it's disastrous in practice when you choose someone like 29 to implement it.

RSF's 60-ounce brother thread doesn't come anywhere close to "positive identification" . . . and yet.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657503)

preserving the rule and the spirit of the board are more important than saving one poster from the consequences of poor judgment. and honestly the consequences aren't very serious. people here know what she looks like, big whoop.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34658348)

At this point most people are older and more boring so there are fewer bonds between posters. Combine this with the mentally ill megaposters have becoming more prominent in the past 6 years or so and things have definitely gotten worse

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34658936)

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657817)

Yea

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657486)

bit of advice for everyone: stop sharing pics and information youre not comfortable with everyone seeing. dont attention whore if you dont want to be spammed or harassed.

if everyone uses their brains and stops outting each other and also stops poasting personal info about themselves, we'll stop having these dramatic meltdowns and stop losing poasters to outting retirements

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657488)

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657571)

i could get behind banning huge archive threads of pictures like the one from yesterday, but in general the amendment seems unnecessary.

anyway, your board, ill continue to post here, but those are my two cents

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657713)

I once poasted a pic of my wife sucking bbc. That was a mistake, probably on several levels. I’ve poasted a lot of shit while fucked up. Even EPAH probably regrets posting his kids faces.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657743)

I still try to remove her name when I see it on the board, but this is an example of someone where the cat's out of the bag.

I hate gray areas, but again, I don't want to punish people who say or share something once or twice without thinking.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657759)

He drops IRL docs on people and makes threats here constantly.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657824)

however, a credited amendment would be that you are banned if you try to extort people here like he tried with gatormo earlier this week

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34657850)

I don't see how it benefits the board to encourage threads like yesterday's. Why do you think it does? It drives people away.

I'm going to review mod logs.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34658025)

Think about it this way -

Whats the worst case scenario if your pic (that you posted in the first place) is posted? Paosters won't post their own pics (not a huge deal), or an outed person might leave (sucks for that person - but they poa their pic in the first place, which means they like attention, which means they probably wont leave). Even if they leave, you lost 1 person. The bort can survive the loss of any one poa, it's hapepned time and time again.

Whats the worst case scenario with rogue mods? Many people will leave/stop poasting entirely. Far worse for the greatbort.

Of course we are, as always, in your debt and you are the captain.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34658054)

In a way, it's my fault for putting her in that position. She didn't seek out the mod powers.

I'll spend some time reviewing mod activity over the past month. Maybe part of being a mod is not having too much info about yourself out there, so you can't be compromised or poked or prodded.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34658101)

Don't listen to these weird guys.

Hopefully she stays on board.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&forum_id=2/#34658116)

I understand the impulse but bad modding culture always starts with vague rules that can be interpreted in increasingly restrictive ways. I think this standard could be abused to allow for a LOT of modding, and like non sequitur above I think over-the-top shitmodding hurts the board more than the occasional outing/collective ridicule of individual posters.
