Codification of the Law of the Land
Poast new message in this thread
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:13 PM Author: effete heaven I tried to get this started when we had new mods like 6 years ago.
We will (a) list the mod rules, and (b) list rulings. We will create a set of statutory-like rules, and common law-like readings of the rules.
[1] Outing. (a) No outing, except: (i) rachmiel-sponsored reactive outing; and (ii) self-outing on the board.
(b) A self-outing only occurs upon an outing that is (I) knowing, (II) voluntary, and (III) limited to the information outed.
(c) "Knowing" means being aware of the consequences of providing the referred-to-information.
(d) "Voluntary" means an outing under no threat, coercion, or other improper outside influence, such as opting for the lesser of two bad alternatives.
(e) "Limited to the information outed" means that information disclosed in the outing is the only information allowed to be used in that outing. An outing of one's employer, for instance, does not permit the outing of one's name.
[*Amended 10/14/15] (f) "Outing" includes (i) traditional outing as well as (ii) the use of outing information to stifle or eliminate another poster's presence on the board or post content in such a way as to have a significant chilling effect. Outing in instances as designed in (ii) above shall be determined only by rachmiel. [See e.g., Rasqie v. David Ben Gurion, http://www.xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=3015995&mc=76&forum_id=2#28964372 October 14, 2015.)
[2] Spam is not permitted. Spam is defined as repetitive posting which is (a) utterly without redeeming value and (b) that inhibits normal usage of the board. (E.g., The great Aznaznaznazn spamming of pre-09, but see: Bumping of non-rule violating threads is not spamming).
[3] No spoilers (you faggots). Spoilers in thread titles is a violation of this rule. Spoilers in posts are not. There can be no "spoiler" of content that has been published (not leaked) in its primary intended stream for at least 2 months.
Amended as of October 13, 2016 by act of rachmiel. (See: http://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=3384909&mc=16&forum_id=2#31630986)
[4] Do not be batshit insane. Definition perhaps provided as "prolonged history to spam, harass, and consistently use alt accounts that you tried to pass off as other posters supporting your behavior."
[5] Archiving board data and/or sharing it with others is PROHIBITED.
(See decree at: http://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=3485004&mc=139&forum_id=2#32326757; See e.g.: TSINA and ragnus)
Amended by STICKY 11/10/17, see:
You may not repoast other people's pics or outting material including names, links to articles, or enough details to positively identify someone without their express permission, and that permission can be revoked.
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.
Codification pending per thread. ( http://xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=3792748&mc=22&forum_id=2#34657273 ) |

Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:31 PM Author: Misanthropic space I suck at statutory drafting but here we go. [1](ii)(a) A "self-outing" only occurs upon an outing that is (I) knowing, (II) voluntary, and (III) limited to the information outed. (b) "Knowing" means being aware of the consequences of outing self. (c) "Voluntary" means an outing under no threat, coercion, or other improper outside influence, such as opting for the lesser of two bad alternatives. (d) "Limited to the information outed" means that information disclosed in the outing is the only information allowed to be used in that outing. An outing of one's employer, for instance, does not permit the outing of one's name. |

|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:47 PM Author: Misanthropic space Certainly voluntary, but does this need a codicil that allows for reversal of self-outed information. Perhaps upon a sufficient showing of hardship or harassment could one reverse a self-outing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844967&forum_id=2,5#27603540) |

Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:50 PM Author: Titillating Nudist Cruise Ship Community Account This seems like a lot of work and would require information probably unknown to the relevant moderator.

or with a reckless disregard for one's own privacy.
The same can be achieved by including a "recklessly" alternative element to the initial "self-outing" definition. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:47 PM Author: Misanthropic space Disagree re reckless. Too many people get comfortable, or secure, or are not aware of the depths of this cesspool. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844967&forum_id=2,5#27603545) |

|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:53 PM Author: bipolar water buffalo selfie I would agree on a standard higher than reckless but lower than knowing. It is unreasonable for people like Doobs who overshare during a time in their life when they don't care if they are outed to demand that mods at a later date nuke numerous threads. Such cases can be determined by Rach on a case by case basis. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844967&forum_id=2,5#27603575) |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:56 PM Author: Titillating Nudist Cruise Ship Community Account I don't know if I do think that's unreasonable.
There are also issues of user base and saturation. For example, with relatively few new posters, it's kind of sensible to think of PN and Doobs's names as already being "out there" enough such that no new thread about them "outs" them. Everyone who's here already knows their names. But with a dynamic user base this principle would no longer make much sense. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 6:06 PM Author: Misanthropic space To be fair, I would accept "reckless" as a standard to the extent the self-outer would know that a "poster of reasonable firmness" would likely construe the information as an outing, in order to exempt instances in which posters of extremism would so construe (e.g., Doobs, Benzo, etc.).

Date: April 2nd, 2015 3:22 PM Author: Black Casino Did you or did you not admit to posting doobs's name at some point in time, and having made veiled threats about nutella? The former, at least, is grounds for banning. I've banned others for the same. I also reached out to you and apologized for allowing our history to cause me to overreact perhaps too severely.
Then, after we kissed and made up, I saw you posting that you had changed your mind, and didn't want to let it go. You have decided to keep being emo about it. The fact that I re-enabled your account was an unusual gesture to show that I wanted to let bygones be bygones, so really, just grow a pair and get over it. After all, as I came to later discover, anyone campaigning to "mimic" this site as you were doing should be ready for his identity to be out in the open and be an object of controversy. It comes with the territory. |

Date: April 2nd, 2015 3:55 PM Author: Black Casino Whether or not doobs "self-outed", this does not give people carte blanche to go posting his name repeatedly. In fact, doobs has contacted me many, many times asking me to remove his name from threads. Posting someone's name is lousy, but posting it for posterity is even worse.
Doobs is not a public figure - he's just someone who uses the site, whose name got out there whether through his own lapse of judgment or another person's.
Like I've said before, I was especially severe with Tswift. I apologized to him for that. But I don't think I owe any more apologies. |

|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 4:03 PM Author: Black Casino You are absolutely correct about that. Although random enforcement can serve as a powerful deterrent.
Bottom line is, we need to strive toward more consistency, and a more efficient system that doesn't let the inmates run the asylum. The two tiers - could be good. I've been working on it since last night but I need the weekend. |

Date: April 2nd, 2015 4:07 PM Author: Mint Costumed Boltzmann Stag Film random enforcement is necessary when you cant police everything. you cant possibly police every speeder on the freeway. but there are only a handful of truly bad apples here that make the boart so toxic for everyone, and i think it's easy enough to police them all.
and yea, not letting inmates run the asylum is key. |

Date: April 2nd, 2015 4:02 PM Author: Passionate adulterous famous landscape painting meetinghouse just saying, since both of their "threats" happened at the same time. it's clear only tswift was punished because only benzo's personal beefs got to your attention and that you have your own skeletons with him. i don't even begrudge you for that, although if i may commit some heresy here, you have made some rash decisions (calling rsf's dad, pointing out specific shrewmo monikers as twist/askav, outting tswift, sharing voicemails with benzo, appointing doobs/benzo as mods, etc). but as far as i can tell, you care about this bort and are looking to better it going forward, so letting bygones be bygones is tcr here (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844967&forum_id=2,5#27604056) |

I didn't think pedospamming rose to the volume needed to regard it as "spam", but everyone had their pitchforks out because they just didn't like the subject matter and could conveniently write it off as spam. Mods have a very loose definition of spam, basically subverting it to "shit I don't like". I didn't think the Belle Knox shit was spam either, but if it opens up the site to liability issues, then I understand. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:19 PM Author: Mint Costumed Boltzmann Stag Film yeah, as i wrote above, i dont like a generic catch-all for "spam." it could lead to antisemites suppressing pro-israel speech.
anything that opens the site open to liability issues is a separate category. |

Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:36 PM Author: Titillating Nudist Cruise Ship Community Account Unusable is kind of in the eye of the beholder, though. I think a few people will always feel shafted by any "spam" decision. Some people used to tell me the board was "unusable" or "unreadable" when I was bumping a ton of Watchmen threads. Or smudge posting is another good example; she knows she has fans so there will definitely be people reading every word she writes. As DBG is worried about, some people have even said sports-threading makes the board unreadable when, say, 20%-25% of front page threads are about Lance or Roger.

Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:45 PM Author: Titillating Nudist Cruise Ship Community Account Nothing is "utterly without redeeming value" in the sense that every poster will hate it. Spammers enjoy other spammers' work, for instance. I think there will always be judgment calls about this. If you're worried about your own posting, I personally can't see anything you've ever done, even on whatever day was election day in Israel, being justifiably shitmodded as spam, and that's coming from someone who thinks you're a trash poster. So I don't think you'll have much to worry about. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844967&forum_id=2,5#27603522) |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:54 PM Author: Mint Costumed Boltzmann Stag Film the problem is that it's dangerous for mods to be making these sorts of judgment calls in the first place. you may not see anything i've ever poasted as worthy of deletion on spam grounds, but what if i piss you off and you change your mind? what if a different mod (who we dont even know the identity of) has a problem with my jew or tennis threading?
obviously, everything is a judgment call. but the best way to police this is to have checks and balances on these judgment calls. |
|
Date: April 2nd, 2015 2:58 PM Author: Titillating Nudist Cruise Ship Community Account This'll always be a balancing act and it'll be a mod who does the balancing. That's inevitable.

i'd disagree that barriers rather than penalties is the way to go. it can't just be a cat and mouse game of having mods delete outing threads. we need to get to the root of these cancers.
it's analogous to israel -- we can't just depend on the iron dome to shoot down every rocket launched by hamas. we need to get to the root of the problem and go in there and clean up the source of the rockets.
i dont think we need rules for exact punishment, but you should retain the discretion -- and actually use that discretion -- to IP ban proven outers. |

Date: April 3rd, 2015 12:06 AM Author: Red cuck Spoilers are the worst of xoxo and the Internet. The racist and sexist stuff has at least the element of satire and fostering discussion.
Spoilers are just destructive. It's some dipshit who has never created anything deliberately ruining an experience for someone else - often that they were looking forward to. George RR Martin spent his life writing these characters, actors left their families to film in Iceland for months, and HBO spent $150 million to create this story, and some fantass whose never done anything gets to ruin it for others by making a thread title.
There should be no time limit on straight up spoilers, and at least a year before its for comedic effect. We're all adults and know how to make a non spoiling thread. To not do so is to lower the standard of the board. |

Date: April 3rd, 2015 12:36 AM Author: Soggy Histrionic Jap thread is apparently about movie spoilers, but wanted to propose codifying the outing rule as i understood it circa 2006 or 2007:
***it violates the law of the land to identify any poster or any non-poster who is not a public figure by his or her real name or photograph or threaten to do so. ever.***
that means no outing a poster because they spammed, or said something mean about you, or did something unspeakably horrible in real life, or creepily probed for info about posters on gchat, or actually outed you or another poster or dozens of other posters themselves.
this avoids ambiguity about "permissible outings" because there are no permissible outings.
the only exception to this ever (that i'm aware of) is when rach outed Sonic Youth. i don't know if he was justified in doing that or not, but rex non potest peccare. for all the remaining non-rach posters there's no hard cases to worry about.
the only other limitation i guess would be posters who were "voluntarily" out like Joe_Caltech and GTO. cross that bridge if we come to it: i don't think we need to worry about anyone voluntarily associating their name with this place for a very long time. |

Date: April 3rd, 2015 12:50 AM Author: Poppy hall pistol I think this is right. You can't out anyone because they outted others. Unless you are rachmiel. Only he should ever be able to exercise this nuclear option. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2844967&forum_id=2,5#27608400) |

we can't have a site dedicated to open and anonymous discussion if people's xo or IRL drama bubbles up to form blood feuds that play out on the board.
the outing prohibition doesn't apply *also* to doobs it applies *especially* to doobs. in order that a thousand guilty men poast freely, we must not countenance the google-bombing of even one loathsome scoundrel. |
