At least people have slowed down on tagging dynastia into every fucking thread like its his personal mission to dox every person alive on their behalf.
 
hay guys i obtaned ebig doxxx of a darksydephil fan can i please be a cool kid now and sit with the sons of kojimmo and... *shits pants with the force of shotgun blast*
 
Honestly even doing anything with a dox is exceptional as hell.

Fuck do I care what government assisted housing projects these goofballs live in?

What is the point of doxxing anyways? It seems to contradict the whole observation aspect of lolcowdom and becomes a thinly-veiled personal army request.

I think its genesis is with Chris. We know where he lives so it's now a standard protocol for lolcow observation.

Thing is we know where Chris lives because he fucking told everyone. Not because some wannabe supersleuth fag found out.
 
People seem to forget that we're the peanut gallery and not the more accessible version of Anonymous.

The fame you get from posting some "sweet dank dox" will last, like, a week at most, and if any of your content is wrong then we'll all probably laugh at you for being an idiot. We're all here to laugh at spergs. If you act like a sperg, you're as much a target as any.

... Actually let's not tell them to stop posting dox. We could use some fresh halal.

People still talk about the time I posted all your cybersex and suicide-baiting chatlogs.

God what kind of tard goes and tells someone they're collecting personal information on that person.

You'd have to be an absolute dumbshit to think that's a good idea.

Its the same thing that happened to /b/ le leejun. At first, skilled, quite, disciplined assholes do crazy shit and keep quite, then it gets popular because its funny....etc etc. Expect more of this in the future. siwicky now has a regular 1k people browsing around at any time, for forums, this is about the time that enough people are spreading around and being drawn in by google searches and references and shit. Soon enough, the lower site staff does little moderation and mostly acts like a group of tard wranglers playing a hopeless game of wackamole.


Tldr; n00bs incoming, brace for impact, I blame Metokur.

I felt guilty enough about the semi-encouragement of semi-dumbness that I suggested the Fred doxer-attempers just quit doing this shit in public where it's embarrassing and not keep doxing randos.

I'm obviously ok with doxing Fred himself but shit was going kind of wild there.

Also people taking a geolocation IP address as actually representing a real physical location was cringy beyond belief. How dumb do you have to be?

Anyway.

I thought it was best in the thread to try to push the drama queens who actually knew Fred Fuch's real name into just revealing it, instead of allowing everybody to publically try and fail to dox people who had nothing to do with the circus.

Even that in hindsight is kind of embarrassing and unlike you, right now at least,I'm in a position of power so I feel worse about it.
 
I think the new attitude towards doxes should be guilty until proven innocent or in this case disregarded until proven legit. Kinda like tits or GTFO.

While I don't think Doxxing should be outlawed here there needs to be some regulation. Not just "dont tell people you're doxxing them" but maybe level it to, you have to contact the staff before releasing one. There have probably been times where a Doxx was uncalled for or unnecessary, and I'm sure there are plenty of members here who abuse the ability to contact a lolcow with literal mental issues.

It goes without saying but making a paranoid person more paranoid is only going to lead to something unfortunate, and eventually it could end up with really bad repercussions for this site or a member of this site.

I have a schizophrenic relative that bit the ear off a guy who got in his face for calling him a freak, you antagonize a fucking nut you get what's coming to you.

What? You're advocating that kiwifarms put a handle on its doxing (how are there so many using double x in this thread?) because someone might get hurt? That's gay, and I mean that in the pejorative sense, like sex in the butt. Schizophrenics are going to flip out regardless, as are other crazy people. And what the fuck is this -

It can add to the humour if the personal details help show that the person's even shittier than their content. If Dirk Clawmaster is a big-deal furry and his fursona is a wolf warrior who wields a katana in each paw in the name of justice, it is kind of funny to find out that he's really some obese unemployed guy living on the shitty side of a town in the middle of nowhere. And got arrested for stealing an avocado.

I have to agree it's stupid to make threats though. Find them first, and put them in the OP, up-front. It might be a good idea to require mod approval, at least for first timers.

That's a serious over-reaction to my simply suggesting guidelines that may or may not help the situation.
