I wouldn't have a clue about Anarchy.This isn't VDFThat's demonstrably untrue. The problem that I and a lot of folks saw with PM-gate is that a user can admit they were not actually bothered or otherwise 'injured' by the thing that they got someone banned for (aka exploit a loophole), then go for about two whole threads shitflinging and only get a verbal. I don't remember a single time that that was ever a policy on this site until now. If Roman ever realizes that he should date dudes,I heard rumors of a crossover. Is PMgate going to cameo in the next Roman chapter?Oh vey, it's reaching the Roman Saga in installments.he's an inspiration nah I ain't hittin' that, sorry. 336

That's exactly my point. Quote I also touched on earlier on how going back and punishing someone after they've already complied with the request of a different mod doesn't make anything better, it just makes things worse.what's wrong with fixing mistakes? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ double jeopardy doesn't apply here I don't think. 339

Consistency was never the staff's strong suit, and I would know firsthand. (Especially considering verb's a repeat offender, for some reason his moderation history gets reset after every verbal. I've demonstrated that this only applies to him and not other users, like myself) This whole incident has shown that what Verb's done is not against the rules, which makes reporting a moot point. It doesn't get anything done, which is exactly why you keep giving that excuse. 345

(borrowing the title from that old fabled thread of yore)
Psy was in a bad mood and blacklisted me for about two weeks. Verb hardly got so much as a verbal warning, despite shitflinging in the PMs in question, this thread, and this thread, among other instances. For some reason, the top staff *cough*LC*cough* can't just override the staff below them. Staff, this doesn't mean much when it's never practiced. Quote
Psy later scoffed at the notion that he got tricked. Ha ha. Well, folks, I leave you all with this picture of a dingo: This dingo has been redacted by the Elegiac Defense Force. Please contact your local EDF chapter for further information. 353

PMs should be special communication channels. If someone wanted to publicly reveal information, they wouldn't publicly revealed it. There's an unspoken trust pact, and if you violate that, you should be punished.Thanks for describing the Fourth Amendment. 357

k just stopping by to fact check this
It's trivially easy to connect the dots. A paper by two Stanford students gives a more elaborate explanation of what's happening here, but with phone calls instead (similarly applicable). An excerpt: Quote The dataset that we analyzed in this report spanned hundreds of users over several months. Phone records held by the NSA and telecoms span millions of Americans over multiple years. Reasonable minds can disagree about the policy and legal constraints that should be imposed on those databases. The science, however, is clear: phone metadata is highly sensitive. Removing a name or account number is a meaningless act. The ability to ID an "anonymous" entity also extends (and is not limited) to credit cards, hospitalization data, Netflix history, and taxi rides. I might follow this up with an Apple vs. FBI post if I feel like it, and explain how metadata and the like plays into that. Don't be fooled: encryption is not leaving intelligence agencies "in the dark"--this is the golden age of surveillance. (PS chally pls) |
