The only people who should have their PM permissions removed is any person who tried to post information originally posted in n00bstories' private forums.

As I do not issue these restrictions, the theory may be different from reality. Do not shoot me for this




Why just n00bstories?

The same should be true for anyone that posts things from any communities private forums.

Because it only happened to NS so far. But yes, the same would happen with people from other communities (see rules)...

It could also be that it never happened before because there wasn't any rule on that matter before the NS incident. Therefor these people should've been warned, not have it removed.
At least, that is what I would deem fair...

I think another part of the reason, other than what's listed above, is the fact that Crimson has her own connection to n00bstories.

I have a feeling that if it was some other community, besides n00bstories, that had their private info disclosed that no action would have been taken.

That's bullshit. I've removed countless Reborn leaks, leaks of other mods, people's private information (such as phone numbers, real names), etc. over the years. It's only now that NS has become a victim that all of sudden I'm "biased".

I'm the bawss.

I'm not saying that you're biased, I'm saying that it is kinda unfair to remove peoples PM privilige directly when you apply a new rule. They didn't know that beforehand (because it did not exist) so you should've warned then and give them another chance.
I'm sure that if these people really mean harm, they'll be able to do it without Renforums don't you think?

Well, since I can't READ private messages, it kinda shoots that little theory out the window, doesn't it? And no, they can't do it without RenForums unless they happen to have another place in common to contact each other privately.

The rules are to remove the PM privileges of anyone who posts the information AFTER they have leaked information.

And as we've seen, that rule hasn't been followed. This is pretty much just another example of how well the heads of this place, and n00bstories are at adhering to their own rules.

Come on, you know tht programs like MSN exist right? You also know that nowadays creating a temporary website is even easier than logging in to this forum right?
Also, the rule wasn't there before they leaked private information (presuming that they did) so it is kinda unfair to first take their PM rights (outside of direct NS bussiness of course) and then implement a new rule. If you would've warned them, most of them would immediately stop posting it here. Surely they would probably find other places, but that is something you can't stop any way.
Unless you planned on taking down communities which they could use to communicate?

Another thing, how did you even jumped to the conclusion that people were spreading around said private information with the private message function on this forum? You can't read them.. right?

That's exactly what I'm talking about. Without the ability to read them, (and the fact that I find that to be a breach of privacy that I do not wish to commit), the removal of private message PRIVILEGES may have to occur while a leak is still active.

So when exactly is a leak inactive according to you? Why do you still think people are leaking said info? If it's leaked once people can still tell stuff to others, if you haven't noticed most people have given up on leaking the stuff.. so when do you even think about putting it back in place? If you haven't noticed, there are innocent people complaining in this thread.

Also, it's not as though there aren't other forms of communication. Again, I understand your concern Crimson, but sometimes security comes at the cost of freedom. It's almost never worth the tradeoff in the end.

That's bullshit. I've removed countless Reborn leaks, leaks of other mods, people's private information (such as phone numbers, real names), etc. over the years. It's only now that NS has become a victim that all of sudden I'm "biased".

Hmm. I wasn't considering them.

Tushe, I suppose.

Edit:
I do tend to agree with what Zimmer said (lol). I can personally see two roles here. One is a role of concern and security, the other is just the flaunting of show-offy power.

If someone is to be involved in an info leak, the info would most effectively be spread through faster means, such as an IM.. not a PM on a forum, especially a forum were the admin is also an admin of what the leak pertains to.

Wouldn't it be more effective to punish said people by revoking a more effective privilege? What exactly is revoking PMs going to do other than start a bunch of stupid debates that get a bunch of ignorant bystanders, like myself, involved?

(I'm about to get flamed from the other side for saying that, but that's how I feel the punishment should be dealt.

Ok seriously, I don't care about the n00bstories issue; it happened, it's done.

I would just like my PM privileges back. I did not leak anything or even PM anybody during the time all that shit took place. But now I can see multiple PMs waiting that I can't possibly read at this moment. Look, if you'd like, dump all the SQL entries associated to my PM inbox and then I'll supply the exact same amount of PMs to your email, or wherever. I'd just like use of it again.

And just to say, Chew was never really involved with Exodus. SoQRadio plays there, but wasn't even playing Renegade when all this happened I believe...

If I understand correctly, as Crimson has no way of knowing who would leak this information, she choose to disable PM rights for anyone from close or from far involved in the issue. So that explains why some of you, who did nothing but become an active player / member of this new community, got their PM right disabled.

That being said, it's honorable from Crimson to respect your privacy. Especially as it's extremely easy to modify this forum software to allow the admins to read PM's.

So if I understand it right you either block some peoples PM's at random? Or if I read the rules right, you should disable the PM system while a leak is active.

Anyway, for what time is a leak active then? I mean, if exodus counts as an active leak then that's fine, but please elaborate.
