Stay away from BP honeys

OK, not sure why a news article available to anyone who looks for it would be removed, but I don't want to get into anymore trouble, SO NO MORE PMs! You will have to find it yourself.

The basics are that a woman was busted for prostitution in Columbia MO, that woman turned out to be HIV positive and has been charged with knowingly exposing others to the virus without informing them. Use a search engine such as Google to find the particulars.

As long as I've been on the board, no links whatsoever with any real names in it have been left up. Its considered outing.

If a john has/had been busted, would you be OK with that link being posted? I'm guessing not. You guys would never want YOUR real name linked to a hooker board.



#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. Originally Posted by MsElena

I am pretty sure, not positive, that one of those times was in response to one of your questions about this very guideline.

The way I remember St. C telling all of his staff how he wanted it enforced was pretty simple.

If there are pictures/photos that includes real names attached that might be recognized as board members then the link should be removed.
But if it is just names and those names can not be directly linked to a members handle then no action should be taken.
Not only has St. C made that statement more then once... he was pretty damn adamant about it.
Could he have changed his stance... yes, but like I said... he was pretty adamant about not having staff giving out points for outing when there was no outing to be had.

Would I want a link to some site that had my name on it... NO, but if it can not be directly linked to my handle then it would not be considered outing per that guideline.
Do the moderators still incorrectly remove links under this rule... yes... most take a "better safe then sorry" approach, and I can not blame them.

But all of that is completely irrelevant...

This woman knowingly and intentionally (By her own admittance) exposed the hobby community to HIV.
Once she did that she give up her right to have any type of protection on this or any other hobby board.
Sometimes a little common sense should come into play... this is one of those times.
Quite frankly, in my personal opinion, the safety of the community far out ways some often misinterpreted guideline on a SHMB.

Now I am going to re-post a link to this story...
POINT ME AND REMOVE IT IF YOU WILL... BUT EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW!

Also... in my opinion this should be moved to the alert section.

Please feel free to discuss this topic all you like ....but leave the link (...the one with real names/photos) out.

Thank you.

Everyone who plays in this sandbox should be getting tested regularly. There are many clinics available where you can pay cash to avoid an insurance claim. Can someone pm me the ladies working name, so I can avoid guys who try to use her as a reference?

Please feel free to discuss this topic all you like ....but leave the link (...the one with real names/photos) out.

Thank you. Originally Posted by JCM800

If not it should be allowed.

What guideline are you misusing here? Links that reveal real world info are prohibited ONLY IF THEY ARE BEING USED TO TIE THAT REAL WORLD INFORMATION TO A MEMBER OF THIS BOARD.

BP girl, not on this board as far as I know. It was originally an AP story. You can find the pic there, but I don't think she is on any hobby site
