and there are threads with athletes names in them too. Don't play dumb and act like context doesn't matter. Originally Posted by bigryan2222That is my point... CONTEXT SHOULD MATTER.
Look up Michael Wayne Jackson... at the time most of the links to his arrest(s) were made he was ACCUSED (not convicted) rapist.
Not only was his arrest record, mug shot, home address, employment and other personal information linked... but also his ECCIE handle and profile.
Why was that all left up and not removed...
because the owners used a little common sense and decided that the safety of the community as a whole was better served by leaving the links up.
The part where the names involved had nothing to do with this hobby or board. It has nothing to do with the discretion needed in this hobby. Are you going to continue to play dumb on the difference? At some point everyone is going to assume you are not playing. Originally Posted by bigryan2222You want some LOCAL links that was never removed... here is just one... I am now running late so I will post more this evening.

Now go ahead and tell me that it had nothing to do with the hobby... lol
Remember that common sense will NOT be tolerated!
Edit: JCM... over all you are doing a great job as mod, don't let this one debacle taint (if I say that 3X will 3-sides show up?) you...
I know that you were just doing what you have seen other mods do in the past... monkey see monkey do.
