The #1 reason normal people don't want to be associated with this forum is the self-destructive tendency to dox everyone and their grandma. You don't need someone's address publicly displayed to laugh at their behavior. The reasoning is always that because it's in a phone book or public information, so it's alright to prominently display it to everyone. The problem is that you don't get a choice if you want your information to be public or not in countries like America. It's just restating "You live in America, all information is public somewhere, so I should know where you live and work".
Remember when one of your tards "phonebooked" the wrong guy's facebook and accused him of being a monkey-torture ringleader? Josh deleted the entire chain of posts because of how big a fuckup it was. Do you really need to know where mjegameandcomicfan89 lives? Or his mom's phone number? Does it look bad for you that Fuentes almost got made good at his house while you had his address prominently displayed?
The difference between something being hidden off to the side somewhere hard to see and on a front page or search result is obviously different. There's a reason people compile OPs instead of just expecting everyone to read thousands of pages. If the dox was just in one of those 1000 pages nobody would see it, just like a phonebook.
when the fuck did he say this was a free speech site?
it's a website made to laugh at retards first and foremost.
This guy is right. Everyone should know the site isn't about free speech, it's about laughing at retards. The only real rule is to not piss off Null, which is also a liability because you can't even hide behind the idea of free speech. Null banned the entire set of O&A for arguing with him and he saw them as a liability. Doxing is on the front page of every thread because Null wants it to be, and the moment he doesn't want it, it'll be gone.
Doxing as a whole is obviously a huge liability for this site as shown by having doxes in a separate box that guests can't see. Now you're running into more legal issues, and you still want to allow it? It's reasonable to ban someone because they're a liability to keeping the site alive, but the biggest liability now is Null's autism and choice to die on this one hill. You're willing to ask everyone to change the language they use to refer to doxing because you see it causing you trouble, but you still want to keep every and name, address, and phone number of every person who looks in your general direction.
You know what addresses and phone numbers are used for, and you know what sharing someone's employer will do. You know how bad swatting is right now and how bad the government is to responding to them. Even if you ignore the moral and legal issues, just have a basic sense of self preservation. You don't want your information posted because you know what people would do with it, and it's just as "public" as everything else here when you use "in a phone book" as a mantra.
This private information is unavailable to guests due to policies enforced by third-parties.
filter ("8 )" with the space removed) should be taken off. That's less likely to cause an actual issue though.
