Well, here’s the thing. Theodora “apparently” posted his real *name* as his username on Retardera. How could anyone had known this? Oh wait, they couldn’t. Of course, you already know the logical conclusion of this, which is circular. Any dipshit can claim something like this in order to save face and that’s fine but it doesn’t justify killing shoutbox and exaggerating about muh “doxxing” and “grand conspiracies” in DU’s terms (which he had no actual proof for as the logs clearly fucking show to anyone who’s not a complete retard.)
Actually, it's only the retards arguing it's not. Everyone else seems to pretty much agree with me on that one.

Remember, "All Infinitron had to do was not slander the good name of the Turtle Zone" and, "I like the idea of putting us in the credits", in logs that are full of "Oh Twiglard didn't see this? Here's another copy..."
by theo's "real name" do you mean some stupid tranny name like tabitha or miranda meadows?

In some ways, DU is the very opposite of any centralised, self-aware center of power.

Disclosure rather than containment.
Utter, absolute discharge rather than quick/forced dissipation.

Which some of you knew already, but i'm only pointing it out because:
i) by now this thread is very fucking boring, all the good one-liners seem to be behind us alas.
ii) i wanted to dedicate this to all the retards who should have been lobotomised by their own parents years and years ago; but for which grave omission -or dereliction of parental duty- i remain thankful nonetheless, as occasionally they each do their part to liven up this place. And i do mean thankful; so for a swan song if i may, very fitting in so many ways as you'll see :)

The funniest thing about this thread is being reminded DorkUnderpants has an accountant, and has to explain what RPG Codex is to them.

The funniest thing about this thread is that DarkUnderlord is still pretending he guides himself based on some vague, retarded, loose rules he pulled out of his asshole 10 years ago, instead of just owning up to the fact he makes his decisions purely based on what whim strikes him at any given moment.

My guy, just say "I get drunk and chimp out, fuck y'all bitches". At least be honest about being a total nigger, stop trying to sugar-coat it. :lol:

The threshold line
DU, while it's completely within your right to decide what should and shouldn't be posted, what constitutes a personal detail and what takedown requests you consider genuine or not, each other bystander is free to decide on his or her own if those information can or cannot be defined doxxing. That's what most people refer to when they dismiss it.

Additionally, once again I must state that I've never seen it posted or alluded to before that day. No one talked about it or, if they did, they used some sort of code I wasn't able to discern. Many other people, people that have some integrity and are known for at least not stating utter bullshit (I refer to members like Roguey and Sukhāvatī) can at least confirm this. I cannot give proof that those involved weren't exchanging informations behind the curtains but if they did, they certainly didn't share with TZ at large. This is what people refer to when contesting the conspiracy angle. We never discussed such things. The whole thing starts with the first log you posted and ends with the last, what is it, 2-3 hours? We sperged happily for months. Muhfugga. There was some good shit among all that crap.

When the drop happened, a good number of us weren't even logged. Others just went "wot?". They had no idea it was a thing. They should have known better before posting and Tweed should have contacted his fellows before reposting out of spite. On this you know we agree, already.
What you read in those phrases you posted are just some retard excited because they think they found a new toy. The toy now exploded in their face. Surprise mf! That's really all there is to it, written by someone that saw it happen in real time turn based.

I'm pretty sure that posting publicly available information connecting the dots between one person's internet persona across different video game forums isn't doxxing... I'm positive I've seen an old post of Crispy's on some other forum discussing the finer points of Cleve. It was a good thread.

Twiglard did nothing wrong. Give me back my box so I can stop posting in these threads.

Your ignore list.
According to this post, Twiglard did not mention that it is against forum rules to doxx and instead he offered to doxx on discord or IRC because the group should not do it on the forum. Twiglard even incited more doxxing by pointing out the original username of Theodora which is apparently "Theodora Nil". Why bother? Why take the Codex so seriously that he wants to troll someone not on the Codex?

Doxxing is revealing someones private information without said persons approval nor permission, right? Why the hell try to find someone who is forced to state inflammatory opinions on the forum because of other peoples inflammatory opinions being posted on the forum?

I'm not trying to continue the discussion, I'm just pointing out Twiglard is a staff member and he openly advises other Codexers on talking about people he doesn't like on the internet, gosh, on other websites because it is not allowed.

PS - To the staff, please delete the thread if it shouldn't exist if it is a continuation of the thread that is in Retardo Land or because it shouldn't exist for any other reason.

Publicly available information? If you connect the dots between a forum avatar and nickname and start researching said nickname and find the person on social media, you attain publicly available information. Point is, said information was not available on the forum.

But what made the user find that was available on the forum: the username. The only reason he found that person's social media was because that person was dumb enough to use the same username in the forum as in the social media account.

Well, in today's update to the forum rules, dunderlord has retained Twiglard as a "forum technical issues" staff member, so maybe retardo this thread now?

It's internet stalking, you've admitted it.

You published a book and posted it on the book reading thread. I take your name(which you posted together with the cover of the book, may not even be your real name) and search it on google, finding the amazon page. Now, answer me, was I stalking you right now? If that is what you define as stalking, I bet you think I was doxxing you right now by saying you posted your own name on codex.

I allowed people to know about me when I posted stuff connecting to my life outside of the forum and it is not internet stalking. If Theodora did not, you should not google her or anything about her.

Imagine this, someone uses the same nickname for the Codex and Steam. The Steam is never mentioned yet someone googles and finds out about the Steam account and starts sending friend requests. It is stalking.

Stalking is usually understood to be some sort of obsessive harassment. Finding an easily identifiable account name and sending a friend request is hardly obsessive.

Sending multiple friend requests from different puppet accounts, now that would be a different matter.

Have you asked Archive.org to delete the source?
Didn't know someone had been sad enough to do that, but thanks for the heads up.
You've never heard of the Wayback Time Machine? How new are you? Ever heard that nothing is ever truly deleted from the internet?
