NO porn links allowed - please read!

What about PMs? My emails won't go through ECCIE but the PMs will. Can the mods read the PMs???

No, the moderators cannot read PM's. That is a promise!!!

Female moderators don't even get the special treat to read ANYTHING that is in the private men's section although I would love to!

But remember, this is a thread about no pornography presented in Another Realm. If you have any questions about board policy, feel free to PM any of the moderators.

Hugs.

Actually, it's entirely technically possible that your emails and PM's passing through ECCIE can be read, scanned for keywords, etc. An administrator (or any person given administrator privileges) of any board site had the ability to look into emails. And you also don't possess any legal right to privacy with them either from the owner.

Your employer has the legal right to monitor your keyboard strokes, record personal emails you send through Gmail, Yahoo or any other external mail site if you use their equipment. The courts have also upheld that if you use your personal email accounts, your employer can LOOK at your private email by using your own passwords, or Facebook, or whatever. Also, if you are using an IP phone, you have no legal right to privacy in your conversations. That, too, can be monitored by your employer for any reason they choose.

Now, if you have an 'old school' analog phone system, then that requires a court order to tap, even if it's an employer-owned device. Why? Because of the way the laws are written... voice communications are protected under the Federal Wiretapping statutes, data is not. And a VOIP phone converts voice to data and isn't covered.

So the security just comes down to a trust issue... do you trust the site you are on? Do you trust your employer? Neither have to TELL you that they are monitoring communications.

So keep that in mind next time you share something very personal or important.

My e-mails have no connection to ECCIE and there is no chance they can monitor or read them. The PMs do pass through ECCIE and I will trust them to do what they say.

I'm not saying they DO... I was pointing out that its quite possible to do so. Without forensic access to the servers one could never say whether or not it took place.

Is it OK to provide links to provider or agency web sites?

The funny thing is that I used to model security solutions for big companies. Forensics, email monitoring and all that related crap was just a part of what we offered in our deals.

And now I'm using my real-world knowledge in the fantasy one.

Was there ever a decision about cartoon or hentai porn links?

One of the mods mentioned those types of porn links may be allowed.

I'm going to ask about cartoon porn. I'm sure that it depends upon the content but I'm just not sure. More later!!!

Elisabeth I vote you the best mod. Am I not the biggest ass kisser on this site?

I'm blushing ...

I'm also a bit hyper this evening and not putting my thoughts out there in the most proper fashion!!!

No cartoon porn is allowed, either. Period. Porn is porn.

Drats.

Hugs,
Elisabeth

Old thread, sorry but new here. Does the no porn links only apply to the another realm forum or to the entire site?
