Member verbal harrassment

[Trumpybloke]

Not in an attempt to disregard the seriousness of this thread , but I have a theory .....

I believe the originator of the PM's wanted to enter the Miss ECF quest but realised up against Kaston and Mrs Cash in the age category realized they stood a snowballs chance in hell of finishing even third LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL !!!

Seems Sanneke has been active on 5 different e-cig sites. Quite a record, or just a coincidence?

sanneke e-cig - Google Search

The magazine site is just cribbed stuff, but that still leaves 5 sites!

I'm a member of 4 - wanna hang me now? That has nothing to do with this. Rules are not made to be broken.

Kaston - your'e in a land here where most everyone is hidden behind a pc.

I am not. My name is Kaston and I use my real pic because I thought this a safe community. I understand where you are coming from though.

 

[Kaston]

yeah but seriously Kas - all these people are asking for this person to be banned for calling someone a ..... i don't get it. You are breaking the forum rules everytime you post a private pm. You also said you knew this up front. I'm just saying

I think the situation does not apply to that rule. If I am wrong, I will gladly accept the consequences.

Also, this person sent this to me in a PM format JUST because of that rule. They were too cowardly to make it public.

Seriously..my grandmother has a thicker skin than the queens posting. It's like a knitting circle with bored old women yapping about the latest outrage.

Let me suggest to not post your last name and address. It's not safe! Nothing much on the net is really.

Just so everyone knows. I am not saying lets ban Kas at all. I just didn't like the way everyone jumped to the conclusion of lets ban san. Maybe she is a religious fanatic or something and didn't like the booty pics. You really never know. Maybe Trumpy is right - jealousy?

 

[Nuck]

I am not. My name is Kaston and I use my real pic because I thought this a safe community. I understand where you are coming from though.

And now, welcome to the Internet. Either develop a thicker skin or prepare to be very unhappy.

NO community on the internet is SAFE. That is why I personally chose NOT to post my personal photos and information on here. You cannot trust anyone. Some may not care, some may be naive, but it's really not a wise thing to do in my PERSONAL opinion. Just my .02.

Kaston - When did you get the second email? The one threatening a ban by reporting you.

I didn't mean to post the rule to get anyone upset but, everyone was getting so ticked off and calling for a member's ban that I thought I thought the forum rule should be reminded.

Sorry to thow more fuel on the fire but, as to the the initial thread that started all of this:

From the Forum Rules>General:
Do not make any posts promoting any products other than e-cigarettes in any of the forums. Those doing so will be banned without warning and the posts deleted swiftly.

I don't think that anyone should be banned, or any posts deleted. I think that this was simply someone PMing their opinion to something that was off topic. Most of the time, opinions should just be ignored, like the original one that started this thread.

I was not promoting anything but the publishing of my article which was not promoting any products. Unless a healthy sexuality is seen as a product?

I don't think unprovoked attacks such as this circumstance should be allowed without consequences. I have no idea if you can 'block' pm's from certain ppl, but I would have done that if it happened to me.

Then forwarded to SJ as an abusive action and let him figure it out. If unsatisfied w/ result from SJ I'd consider a jury-style public post.

I agree that an online community member should at LEAST understand that you can't go around mudslinging and expect to be kept in the community. Same goes with spammers, etc.

We are dealing with who-knows-who ultimately when we log on and participate with any online site. I in no way mean to excuse this sort of behavior - It needs to be addressed IMHO.

I'm sorry this happened to you and I hope it is resolved so that it doesn't happen again to anyone else.

 

[Kaston]

Kaston - When did you get the second email? The one threatening a ban by reporting you.

After I started this thread and refused to reply to that person.

 

[Kaston]

I'm sorry this happened to you and I hope it is resolved so that it doesn't happen again to anyone else.

That was the whole reason I made this public. How many other people has this happened to that have not spoken up because of the PM privacy rule?

yeah... but your safe dear... everybody already knows yer batsh*t crazy

If you choose to plaster your personal photos, information about yourself, etc. on the Internet, be prepared to pay the price of potential harassment or stalking. What happened to you is not right, but that's nothing compared to what could happen. I know everyone is and was doing this all in fun and IS fun, but it's also not the smartest thing to do. I'm not condemning anyone for making their choice to put themselves out there, but seriously, things can and have happened to people on the net for doing these things. Sometimes it takes something little or major to happen to learn this. Before anyone condemns me, I personally was internet stalked majorly which then came into my personal life before and the police, so you need to see where I'm coming from. It just takes 1 wrong person. I realize some of you are pretty open about it and don't care and I'm not condemning those that are. I just say to some of you to think about it....

 

[Blue Knight Max]

I say forget the ban....

Let me lock em up!!

 

[kinabaloo]

But ever since I joined the thread, which was only 2 pages then, the person has not shown up as a viewer. And they are not online now.

But, wasn't the articles premcie to promoting products for "personal stimulation"? Albeit, in a comfortable and warm environemt.
