Reminder about DATA MINING/DOXXING

[AyeCantSeeYou]

USMB has a rule regarding data mining. It reads as follows:

• Data mining is not allowed. You may not disclose any personal information about other members. Name, e-mail, phone number, address, occupation, pictures, quotes, etc. that has NOT first been posted here at USMB by the member themselves (include link). This includes links to sites that contain said personal information.

I'm posting this reminder because some of you seem to have forgotten it. When caught, you WILL NOT be given a chance to "explain" yourself before being given a temp ban. When you come back from your ban, I do NOT want to hear any excuses because there are none for being stupid enough to dig up info on someone and posting it on this forum. Understood?

It might be right hard to find a link to a member who has stated something personal in the past that you might mention in a post.

I suspect that could happen and the OP not even be aware he/she crossed some line.

I suspect there are a few posters with nothing better to do than try and find others personal information, you have to be careful with what you share, if you trust someone, then share personal information in private using a PM.

When one moderator actively participates in a thread, why would another mod close it? You guys in same page or randomly independent?

I have had instances where mods active in a thread thanked me for a post only to have the mod who always stalked me infract and thread ban me for it.

I'm certain you deserved it.

Mods generally do not like to "moderate" a thread they are actively participating in as a forum member. If an infraction is bad enough, we will, but otherwise, we let another mod handle it.

So your avatar says code word for OREGON. Can I say you are from Oregon? Will that get me banned? Utah Mac comes to mind. He said it, I did not invent either of your locations.

When asked for a review, the goat allegedly said,”naaaaah baaa-ad”

Just don't pronounce it "or i gone" like Danny does and you will be fine.
