Just to clarify a couple of things: We don't actually have a rule against doxxing.
The rule is, "Don't Get Personal" and contains sections on:
"Stalker-ish Behaviour" (not stalking, stalker
-ish) which we define as "
anything remotely involving tracking down someone's location [...] personal info". I've been advised Theo didn't post her Steam account, Roguey did a Roguey and posted it.
"Personal Details" which basically says if there's personal info about you on the forum, we will remove it "
if it's been requested we do so" (that last bit is the important bit)
. I don't care if it's a sob story about your cat dying, or your cancer-riddled grandma. Ask us nicely to remove it and it goes. If people keep posting the information, we'll take action against those people until the message has been understood.
And "Shit-posting", which covers 90% of you with, "these users often spend all their time complaining about other users". Note how these are not discussions about RPGs that we're interfering with. On the RPG Codex.
Basically, don't be fucking assholes about personal shit. If personal stuff was deleted at request, we're not "arbitrarily" applying the rules and "protecting certain users". We're exercising the same protection under the rules that we offer all of you morons.
We're also smart enough to know that we can't stop people sharing things off the forum, nor can we mind-wipe everyone into forgetting something they've read. We can only control (to an extent) what gets posted on the Codex.
With regards to
Twiglard, we've spoken about it. He did offer to take a hiatus but we need him to fix things like when the front page stops working because Taluntain keeps messing with things. He says he understands what he did wrong. And, despite me potentially perma-banning people I know he likes - including threatening a whole list of people in the admin forum - while leaving him with full admin access, didn't do a Naked Lunch on us. The rule is we remove the info at request, which has mostly been done (pending the usual drama release), not ban everyone. If it happens again, I might have to reconsider (and that goes for all the recent bans we've done, including those we considered but didn't do) but I think we're good for now.
