Doxing is a KF tradition, but I've never liked it. It feels very juvenile and pathetic most of the time, like the internet equivalent of a nerd sticking his tongue out at a bully while hiding behind his mom. The person being doxed almost never even knows it happened, so it's just a way for the powerless to try and fail to feel powerful. Just look at what a fucking loser Zed was for a great example of the kind of person I'm talking about.If the site stays up, what about we implement some new rules?
-No doxxing. Yes, finding people's information is trivial, but publicly sharing it rarely makes for good content and it gives crazy people like the swatter more ammo.
-No alogging. Death threats and morbid fantasies should be purged when reported. I'm not sure if this is technically a rule already but I'm pretty sure I've seen people wishing death on cows in a few different threads. It's not a good look.
I make a personal exception for genuinely awful people who don't deserve to feel safe in their own homes. Not gonna name names, but there are a small number of people like this who hurt everyone they can while under the full protection of an establishment run by psychopaths. Doxing those people is a public service. Doxing DSP because hue hue le wresting game is just sad.
