Quote:Well the evidence is on this forum. The amount of posts made in this forum and how a good chunk of them relate to who's sock is who or personal insults. You don't need to get technical, "24/7" is is an exaggeration for dramatic effect. But the point is, a lot of time and effort is put into "socks" and personal insults back and forth.
Rubbish. How the Hell would you know either way?
Quote:Not that I am complaining, it's very entertaining. I wouldn't change it for the world.
Bullshit. You entered this Thread to have a dig at me.
Quote:Regarding freedriver, and mods etc. No, I am not interested in PMing with anybody and getting personal with people. I don't know what happened between everybody you mention there and honestly don't care that much but my opinion about not giving out personal information remains the same. The risk is there and self preservation is important, especially in this day and age. If this warrants a ban, so be it.
The risk ONLY arises if there is slack Moderation. The only two active GMods are here rarely, and if they are, it is at times well known. Setanta...you can set your clock by. Vic.....not even he knows when he will be here. Same with freediver. So.....there is no current on-hand capacity to quickly snuff out doxxing...... immediately.
Any doxxer....(and their socks) MUST be sent to Purgatory....forever. That is the only way.

OzPol is dedicated to no-one.
Quote:It's your decision to invite people you don't really know into that sphere of your personal life, knowing full well what is likely to happen when you run into conflict with them. People are spiteful, and it's much easier to post a compromising image or personal details on a public digital sphere than it is to front up to somebody and punch them in the face. Most people are too trusting, and this is why things like that happen in the first place.
Okay.....so what ought to be done with known doxxers? Should 'we' do what you urge, and exonerate them and lay the fault at the feet of the victim? Or do we...farq the doxxers and their socks into oblivion?

......it is?
What's rubbish, exactly? The facts are in front of me on my computer screen. We are logging into the same forum, are we not? Replying to each in turn?
Since returning here I have recognized that one, a lot of people have left and two, those that remain such as yourself are long term OzPol vets that make threads flinging insults at one another or talking about who's sock is who. I see a very active focus on this, as well as the other forum "Political Animal", to the point it almost drowns out any appeal in "political discussion".
Especially when threads are made direction to said political discussion then becomes hijacked as a war between OzPol "cliques".
I didn't come here specifically to have a dig at you. I have been keeping an eye on this thread because it's entertaining, and then my previous username was mentioned which you likened to a "retard". My point is, it is rich coming from you due to what I've stated above. You can twist it however you like, you can get technical which I've noticed is one of your forms of debate, it doesn't matter. Facts are facts. Look at your own post history. See what threads you have participated in.
Who is a known doxxer? Do you have proof of them being doxers? Isn't that up to the moderation team to decide who gets purged from the forum? From what you're telling me it's the moderators themselves who got doxxed.
My reference to plastering info about yourself on a page was about Facebook. If you invite people to view that Facebook page, then they will find information about you. You get off on the wrong foot with them, they will use anything they can against you. That was my point.. not whatever you thought.
Lastly, lunatics are lunatics. Grubs are grubs, and morons are morons. They come in many shapes and forms. They can appear to be "normal", trustworthy and "friendworthy", especially on the internet.
If you want to spread your personal info around you risk attracting the attention of any one of those people mentioned if you get caught up with them.
I prefer my identity and privacy protected, thanks. No online "friends" are worth putting up with the bs.
