The New Rules (Currently in Beta)

[Arnox]

I don't know but I'm told by Arnox that the rule is really quite clear cut

It is. If it's PI, LSD needs to PM a member of staff and verify that this is actually him before we proceed to ban and remove anything.

BTW, if you guys have AdBlock (you should), you can get rid of the pics very easily by right-clicking the picture in question and selecting "Block Element."

stfu pg-13 avatars

Arnox.. like I said before, all you have to do is make it NO PERSONAL INFO... PERIOD, even if the poster is posting their own name, address, SSN, whatever is identifying information. Problem solved! The BBS doesn't need any of the kidiots' PI bullshit at all. What does a BBS based on knowledge is power have to do with the retarded kidiots' little PI games and PI posting concerns? Nothing.

That's not a picture of LSD.

Your work of art that is in no way related to a poster here has one hellacious neckbeard, Obbe.

a fucking line drawing, not a photo, is now considered PI.  between that faggotry, and this faggotry, I say fuck this fucking place:

Would it be reasonable to require just avatars to be PG-13?  Because they're in every single post you make, instead of in specific threads or what have you.

I don't think we need to go that far.

a fucking line drawing

If it's accurate enough/shows distinctive IRL characteristics about that person then yes, it is PI.

anything that can be used to identify a user or their family members IRL.

Again though, the user reporting PI needs to verify that those are in fact identifying to him/her before we do anything.

In six months, this place will be a ghost town just like it was when we got here.  Have fun with your dwindling userbase and senseless, arbitrary, utterly unenforceable rules.....

Yes, you do. That's the way it was on &Totse for years and it worked perfectly. It made things ever so much simpler as well. Nobody should be able to post any PI at all, even their own, even if it was posted elsewhere, even if they're just saying it's PI. The way you're headed on the issue right now, the kidiots will tear you to pieces with tests and loopholes and God knows what else.

mike, wherever you go, I will follow, much as the winds follow the air currents of time, and such

Whoa don't leave us cats.  I really like having you around.  The avatar thing was just something I brought up for us to discuss, and it sounded like Arnox told us to use adblock.  The PI rules don't even really affect most of us.  Please stop looking for reasons to leave and just continue hanging out with us.

What's involved in the verification process? What qualifies as verification?

Depends on what kind of PI it is really but for example, if it was a picture of that person then the user would have to give us a picture of him/her with "sanctuary" written on a slip of paper. That sort of thing.

So what about a name? Would they actually have to present ID or something along with the site name?
