Emphasis mine.
This is a falsehood (that we would ever provide IP data to the likes of "Zardi", we would do nothing of the sort). We only disclose such data to
law enforcement when they come with a
subpoena (has never happened, and would only happen in the case of an illegal act, certainly not some Harry Potter spat).
We don't care a whit about conflicts from other sites like MNI and have no intention of enforcing the rules of other websites for them as this is both beyond our ability to enforce fairly and an unreasonable expectation.
But this brings me to my next point. We do, however, care about
our rules and standards for messages posted
here.
A reading of our
Terms of Service will indicate what I am talking about but to summarize the ones pertinent to this thread:
- Insulting and attacking each other is not allowed here. This is not your typical teen forum or chat. There is a lot of this going on on this thread (e.g. calling someone here an "idiot") and this may result in a member's removal from this service.
- Making threats is, for the most part, not tolerated. The people coming here threatening to ban and such are, in fact, banned from this site immediately.
- Using this forum to solicit members to your websites etc is not permitted.
If these types of infractions are seen, please use the "report" button to let our moderators know.
As long as our rules are respected, we have no problem with you all having your fun here and welcome you.
But those who flame each other, spam these boards, or make threats will not be permitted to use this forum as a medium.
Thanks
PS - As a courtesy to the bandwidth of MNI, please do not hotlink their images. They have complained to us about this.
