Yeah, exactly. I'd give a bit more detail on that, but I'd rather not get a 30-day ban.

What was he banned for?

Tempting fate.

It was recently outed (or made into a spectacle at least) that *someone* is transgendered, so the Challenger yelled that info out and then linked Cheat to the comment. So needless to say, he was banned.

Ah, and this was in full knowing that another user was banned for 30 days for outing the same thing (which in itself was with the user fully knowing about another user who was banned for 30 days for doing a very similar thing)

That dumb rule really makes no sense. First, it's not a secret if Challenger got access to the information, and second, why the hell would they care? Why would it be a big deal if people know?

The rule was more setting an example than anything else. It wasn't so much about the information itself but rather the behavior.

There's been a recent crackdown on revealing sensitive personal information, which Noelle and S\ash both were given 30-day bans for doing so.

That's still just silly. If people are THAT sensitive of personal information, keep it freaking personal. Once others know it's public domain at that point. I have a much bigger problem with the behavior of the whiners that make a big deal about their "secrets" on a freaking forum.

Kinder was perma'd from here because he spent weeks trying to find some users' facebooks accounts, and then the retard just posted them here and was predictably perma'd.

Point is, you can still pry out others' personal information without their consent or knowledge. Or it could have somehow slipped somewhere. I dunno. I'm not the one making the rules, and I'm not too much of a fan of the idea of having such a harsh penalty. But for some reason, the only users who have been banned by this rule being invoked so far are the really cancerous ones so I'm just looking the other way for the time being.

Not really. Even if it's on a public social networking site it's still not personal information, it's information they made publically available. Of course if they are attempting to use that information in a way to harm others or do other things that actually break rules, I would understand.

Not true. I was banned for "outing Nuka" even though a large portion of this forum had already known due to their history on Bungie, and I wasn't being negative about it in any way. In fact, I stood up for them even though they were a prick to me and defended the stance they should live how they want and to not have to hide the way they want to feel. I even mentioned how stupid it was to make it an issue or use it as a way to mock others, and also said doing so should result in those users being banned. Originally I was permanently banned and they later dropped it down to a month.

Hm, then I can see your point in why you're against that rule. Fair enough.

Challenger wasn't banned for outing anyone. He was banned for his posts in Serious. As it clearly states in the rules, moderation is stricter in the Serious board. It's the board for proper debates and civil discussions on certain serious topics, so the treshold for bullshit and personal attacks is lower there. If you look at the rules, you'll see that every severe warning you receive in Serious gets marked with a tag. If you have one of those tagged warnings in your recent history and break the rules again, you're getting an instant ban. I'm not the one who banned him but looking at Challenger's history, it's pretty clear he already had several prior tagged warnings and bans.

Either way, I believe his ban wears off later today.

Ah, I had previously thought that he was banned for revealing personal information.

I obviously don't want someone to be free just to be a gigantic douche with the information, but as long as they're being cool about it I don't see how any action can be taken against them, especially when people are free to insult each other all of the time. Shouldn't that at least be more worthy of addressing first? That's how I'm looking at this. It just makes no sense to me. Really, people should use it as a learning experience not to be so eager to share things online unless you know the security settings in and out. You should also NEVER expect anything you put on the internet to be private. That notion is just asinine. I like you, Officer. (Whoa, that was weird to say) I hope you don't think I'm addressing you in my posts specifically. I'm just making general statements that can apply to anyone.

Oh, yeah. I don't mind. I personally wouldn't care if I had personal information of mine revealed. But not everyone is me.
