Really, Ztonk? A 10-pt infraction for using a common expression to signify somebody is working too hard on an agenda? Originally Posted by BobaveLook at it this way.... He is helping you stay off the "Usual Suspects" list.

Its rarely that easy here in Austin. While you're trying to fend off the attacks of the protected, you are also dodging the attacks (or defensive walls) of the protectors.
There have long been two sets of rules here, its not imagination & its not exaggerated. Hell, its in play in this very thread. Hence the reverse position on what is outing and what is not.
Calling it "fair" is just a bit of a stretch...If it were just me that felt that way I'd be more self questioning.
Your efforts ARE recognized & appreciated however. Originally Posted by Toyz

The only reason people perceive there to be two sets of rules is their lack of understanding of the guidelines and their attempt to read something into them that is not there. Originally Posted by WhispersYup. And you always claimed to be diligent to them. Some how, you got Banned anyway. But that was for different reasons. Well, maybe. You accrued a few points there.

Im new here, but i think stock trader has a good point. Why not just leave each other be, in private and public. I have no idea if she is a danger, no more that if whispers is dangerous. If she isnt your thing thats cool, thats what this place is for. To each their own. If she has broken rules of the board by way of harassment then the board should deal with it. But to drag it out in public seems distasteful in my eyes.Stock Trader is caught in a learning curve that you are just beginning. In time you will understand or you won't. The one thing that is definite is that the guidelines are what they are and there are not multiple interpretations of them.
I know that theres probably more to the story but it just seems to come across as spiteful.
To be clear, i have no dog in this fight. As such im not taking any sides.
Not worth a lot, but theres my two cents. Originally Posted by Stewie griffen

Revealing someone else's presence at a social event does not qualify.
It's in bad taste perhaps and indiscreet even. The organizer may wish to disallow that person from future attendance if they wish. But outing it is not. No connection is made between RW info and a member handle nor could anyone who knew that person in the real world draw such a connection.
We take outing and anything to do with RW info very seriously here, it's a zero tolerance issue and carries a lengthy ban with zero exceptions if it qualifies. It's therefore important to be clear what is meant when we use that word so that it doesn't get cloudy or diluted and the expectations are clear.
As to this idea of different sets of rules:
I don't get involved in the drama, never have in many years as a member of various boards and especially as a mod. It's not my style. Impartial adjudication is the name of the game from where I'm sitting.
I can't speak to the past, I never followed the Austin forums before, but I assure you there are not two sets of rules for the site. I'd ban my best friend if he crossed the line and wouldn't blink an eye...and he'd know it going in. Clarity, transparency, and consistency to the extent possible are paramount.
We all view things through the lens of our own experience and are human of course, but that's why there are multiple mods in every area to serve as a sounding board for different perceptions/opinions and as a system of checks and balances. For the most part that system works as intended sitewide.
As I said a few posts above, the vast majority of the time what people think they are seeing as a different set of rules is simply misunderstanding the guidelines and their nuances and practical application. Originally Posted by SpiceItUp

I certainly thought it was creepy when JadeRose contacted a provider to secure my number. She was told if SL wanted you to have his number he would have given it to you. TEAM SL girls are awesome!

Shortly after, it was made known that it was just another particular harassing person who was impersonating you. Shocking. As far as the provider goes, we are on good terms and she's a very sweet girl. Ask her.
You attack her for flooding coed with posts seeking attention Originally Posted by Stock TraderNo. I don't.....
so she sent you a private message Originally Posted by Stock TraderNo. There were no attacks on her that initiated the messages from her.
instead of flooding the board with more posts, then you get mad about it. Originally Posted by Stock TraderMad? No. Dogs get mad.... At times people get angry... I've been neither in regards to this..... Simply concerned due to her inability to respect boundaries.
Terms of endearment, signs of affection and an unhealthy interest Would you have rather her sent you private message cursing you and threatening you? Originally Posted by Stock TraderIt would have concerned me far less.
You don't have to like somebody to respond to their posts, I understand that but if she's dangerous why do you instigate her?Where in the guidelines is she given the right to contact me? The guideline regarding Private Messages does not bestow rights. It defines ways the system is not allowed to be used. Unwanted messages are considered harassment.
She has the right to contact you via private message because that's within the guidelines too. Originally Posted by Stock Trader
You don't want her to contact you via private message and she doesn't want you to continue attacking her in threads sounds like an agreement could easily be made after all she's publicly asked you to stop and you have publicly asked her to stop. Originally Posted by Stock TraderI will not stop expressing my opinions or responding to people that make statements here in a public forum simply because they ask.
You are at a minimum a part of the problem, you are not the victim as you portray yourself. Originally Posted by Stock TraderThat is your opinion and I respect your right to post it. You are incorrect however n a number of your conclusions.
This has been addressed already several times, just as my taking responsibliity for the previous PMS and hostility towards some on the board in the past (windinhishair, whispers, skip 8) has as well. I have no issue with handling each situation intellectually as this is not an emotion based thing. I have apologized where it wss necessary. Just as I have addressed and explained the other claims on me that actually had some kind of relevance. So all you have left is to repeat things over and over hoping to justify them. Originally Posted by JadeRoseYou don't understand how the ongoing conversations and repetitive information works..... There is no need to "justify" anything.... Perhaps someone will explain it to you.
The thing about you three is, you seem to refuse to acknowledge that reality and just continually repeat the same things over and over about me. Originally Posted by JadeRoseAs often as you wish to state an opinion here in CoEd that other's disagree with you will find that they will voice that disagreement with the same frequency.
It's as if you're trying to make me look bad or something, no!? Surely not. Originally Posted by JadeRoseLMAO!

I refuse to address blatant lies and fabricated details that have absolutely no bearing on reality. Such as interacting with Whispers at a party that I wasn't even paying attention to him at, he was certainly concerned with what I was doing though. Originally Posted by JadeRose

There have been plenty who have contacted me all day yesterday's explaining that they understood what Whispers was doing but truly did not want to get involved with this thread for fear of becoming a target of his twisted games as well. Understandable.

There has been plenty going on behind the scenes throughout all of this as I suspected there would be, and the usual influx of some extra business inquiries as last time too, I might add (lol). Originally Posted by JadeRoseWe hear that from everyone in the beginning that gets cross ways and attracts negative attention. The last lady to repeat that cry sent a guy to meet with me and then called wanting to broker a truce claiming I had all but destroyed her business...... There was one before her that chanted the "he brings me business" for close to a year before seeking an end to what she only brought on herself.
How many people have jumped on your bandwagon? Your intentions of making this something it's not is not successful, and everyone sees right through it. Originally Posted by JadeRoseOk. So move on and ignore it..... I assure you I am not one to talk to myself...... When interest in the topic wanes the thread will die a natural death.
Its so sad that so much of your energy is spent in an attempt to "get me off the site" when you can be worrying about much more profitable things. Carry on...

Some one contacted you saying they were me? Really? How? By phone? What could they possibly have wanted? Why didn't you send me a PM like every other provider would have done? No... you are a liar. I know it and so do you! You wanted my number because I refused to address your PM'S. How did that work out for you?

Based on previous interaction with Whispers and the fact he was NOT alone... why would you want to interact with him in any way? Hell if I was there and you showed up... exit stage right. I find it hard to believe that Whispers who was with a date sought you out.

Why do you have to "speak for him"? He was Johnny on the spot when his boy was under duress as he always is....a few Mongers called him out for an answer & hes no where to be seen.
It's in bad taste perhaps and indiscreet even. The organizer may wish to disallow that person from future attendance if they wish. But outing it is not. No connection is made between RW info and a member handle nor could anyone who knew that person in the real world draw such a connection.
I actually understand that...our primary concern was why he jumped in the middle to stop that conversation and subsequently ignores request to return and provide clarification. Please don't defend with the "hes busy"...hes as close as a WhixxZy text to jumping back on the board at a moments notice. I said something on the national board a while back...and he almost immediately repsonded...his first post in THIRTY DAYS.

Yup, even more strange why a MOD would jump to a conclusion because ""its therefore important to be clear what is meant when we use that word"...
As to this idea of different sets of rules:

So you were just arbitrarily picked to come to Austin which already had three moderators on staff? From out of another area? Yah, hard to buy that one...someone knows the history here & knew we needed a non-biased voice of reason that would moderate on rules rather than emotion & loyalty.
We all view things through the lens of our own experience and are human of course, but that's why there are multiple mods in every area to serve as a sounding board for different perceptions/opinions and as a system of checks and balances. For the most part that system works as intended sitewide.
When the answer you get is "no one cares" then NO it isn't working, in fact, its fucked beyond measure.

The only thing the MOD stated was that my post did not present a case that constituted a clear and present danger to the community and did not belong in the Alert Forum.
