owenshooter - Personal Information Abuse[closed]

[Army of GOD]

Serbia is in no way harassing anyone.

The page he linked wasn't to IR, or any other CC user. It is just a guy's page....and therefore CC basically has no jurisdiction.

Believe me, the BpB have been all over the personal info rules since the whole clan recieved a ban for including Owen's pic in our sig (yes, it was a witchhunt whcich the mod who banned us openly flaunted).

If memory serves, you wanted the person using Owens Avatar banned....why was it such a surprise when everyone using the said avatar got banned? Owen keeps screaming out about consistency, well on that occasion he got it.

As for the Matt Damon issue, you can google his name and get all the info you want, but you probably couldn't do that with just a photo of IR's new boyfriend or any other photo of a nameless face.

I understand what you are saying, and while IR isn't equal to Matt Damon, you can find everything that has been presented on this site through a google search. You just have to push on for more pages than the average person wants to look through.

In fact, rather than punishing owen, I think CC should use this situation to point out that no one is actually secret on the web - no matter if they use a handle or not. It would be a good lesson for a lot of folks.

Because if people want to figure you out, they will. So, don't post anything about yourself. Ever. Or you will get found out (Insomnia Red - by folks like me finding porno pictures of you). Awkward for everyone involved.

king achilles, I very much appreciate the ruling here. The only further question I have, is why the punishment for this violation is going to be lumped in with a Minor Infraction (in this case, being the maximum 3 month forum vacation) instead of the next-level for a Major/Severe Infraction? The rules clearly state that Personal Information Abuse is a "Major/Severe Infraction", and recent precedent shows that a second Major/Severe Infraction leads to a full website ban. (precedent I'm citing is the Blitzaholic Account Sitting Abuse case) Can you please clarify this point?

I agree that revealing one's personal identifiable info is classified as a major infraction. For this case, I think the link was pertaining to someone's profile linking to a CC member. I would take this more as a flame or baiting than a major infraction, but it can also be seen as posting someone's personal information indeed. It is already noted in his record so in case he does this again in the future, we know that it would not be his first time anymore.

Thank you for the response. I appreciate the speed with which this ruling was handed down.

Is the same applied to everyone else who posted personal information in said thread?

Just wondering, are all the Obama threads in off topic going to be deleted? They hold links to his birth certificates.

How do I go about getting my questions mod/admin-asnwered?

I also have 2 questions of my own. It looks like Owenshooter was banned from Live Chat by a CC mod because he didn't believe a false story.

1 - What that ban warranted or unwarranted according to CC guidelines?

2 - If that ban was unwarranted, is Owenshooter getting any compensation after being unfairly punished?

This would be the wrong thread for that question. To answer your question I don't know but that is something that owen would or should have taken up at the time.

Actually, I'm fairly certain he's flogging a dead horse.

Don't flog a dead horse. If a discussion is over, it's over. Screaming louder, more or in a different place is not going to change the answer already given. If you think the answer was wrong, PM an Admin. If you think the admin is wrong, then this probably isn't the right community for you.

No, he was asking for clarification about if this counts as a major or minor infraction.

The thread itself is flogging a dead horse.
