Hotrix I have given This some thought and maybe this is not what we think .Maybe rrabbit and cp are Not just picking on members here. Maybe their just confused on what outing really is ???
this is what I mean man.....
May I suggest you read the guidelines. Giving out someone's real life name is forbidden. It is abundantly obvious that the provider does not wish to give out certain information. If the guy was truly interested, he would have had plenty of time to state his case. He didn't. If he still wants to, he is perfectly clear to start another thread on this topic, and they can be merged. Oh, you won't be receiving an infraction but you will be receiving a warning. I strongly suggest you read our guidelines.

But the name was of a Non-member .
#5 - Outing or threats of outing are taken seriously. Membership here is anonymous and for the privacy of our members it will remain that way. That means any effort or attempt to connect a person's real world information to their username on this board will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. This includes real names, employment, medical info, addresses past or present, images, criminal or driving record, etc. We expect everyone who participates here to respect and go to great lengths to protect the anonymity and privacy of one another. Reckless disregard or accidental outing will also be taken very seriously.
No where in the rules does it mention it is ok to out someone who is not a member. The golden rule to remember is just don't give RW info about someone weather they are a member or not. This rules applies to both providers and hobbyist.

So how does a Non-member Have a eccie username.???
PB,
I can ask the admins for clarification but from what I gather. The rule is pretty simple. For example. We are allowed to talk about non members. Say a conversation comes up with Donald Trump. I doubt he is a member of this site. Just giving an example. Now if he did happen to open an Eccie account it would be against the rules to associate the RW person with his account. Our accounts here on Eccie are what protect us as you know. I'm sure there might have been specific to the 2 examples you have mentioned. I think we are getting a little OFF topic talking about GL when the OP started this thread specifically since he felt that a thread which was closed didn't answer his question and also felt the person in question was not represented in a fair way. My thoughts on this subject. The person in question should come forward himself if he/she wants to be heard otherwise the meaning of this thread really has no point. One thing we MODs have seen countless times is just a back and forth between different member opinions. Well see how this one turns out.

But if I am reading this right rrabbit is saying if trump was to open a account after what was said. Then he would go back a baned someone for what was said before they were members.
If that was the case there would be a lot of ban's lol
to me what was said before someone joined the site wouldn't be brakeing the GL. But from the join date forward would be.....Just think about it
But it was a good thing rrabbit didn't use Bill Clinton as the example He maybe a member lol
You are not a moderator, so you really don't know all that goes on. We don't operate in a vacuum. Decisions to ban someone for outing are not take capriciously. Also, it doesn't matter if the outed person is a member of this site or not. If a member here outs anyone, they will be banned. There are some admin who believe bannings should be immediate and then let matters get sorted out when it comes outing. It is something that is taken very seriously. The gals have even stricter guidelines when discussing clients in the powder rooms/info share forums.
The bottom line is this. If we know a member has outed someone here or on another site (which we can verify) even if that person is not a member of ECCIE, that person will be banned. In all instances, RL information will be edited in order to protect the individual.

and to open up with a power statement just to put the member in his place so hopefully he would shut up and not come back...wow
I really think the mods do operate in a vacuum even tho we are told they don't. Becuse when we ask something we are not ans. I think there's a Vacuum somewhere lol......and plus rrabbit said he would ask but never came back to clear it up.....Just left Hanging...and I have seen Cp do this too.
I know Cp told the member to read the GL's and I agree with that so all the members know when they are being run over....
So Bottom line Do the Modtard not know what the GL's say or Are they just trying to keep all the Fucktards Confused????
Now This is why I am saying something about their making up their own rules on the board??
Just think about it ...........Does this make Since?????
