I did find this screenshot funny where Todd outs Shmorky as a weirdo babyfur pee-pee fetishist back in '07.

Is a paedo not entitled to the piss of his diaper?
Is the screenshot real?

Jenner is pretty great.

The story starts in an e/n thread, where Jenner accuse the OP of sexual assault for grabbing his wife's boob in private without asking her first. This starts a multi-page long derail, and Jenner gets probated twice for continuing the derail after the mod tells her to stop.

After her probation ends, Jenner opens a thread in QCS asking what kind of community the mods want to foster on SA. It's very quickly revealed that she's just mad about the probations and think the mods are pro-rape because she got probated and the people making fun of her didn't.

The story ends in the second QCS thread Jenner made, What can be done about the doxxing? I don't want to give away the twist, it's fun to read the thread and see the responses, or lack thereof.

Thanks for replying.

I understand that you can't change what victims and targets have made public on the internet. And users should be careful not to post anything too personally identifying on the internet. But while you can't change the fact that I tweeted out that I'm actually permabanned poster niggerstomper58 and have been all along you can control people pulling content off Something Awful. With a little counter internet detective work it should be possible to find out who the users sharing posts and content from SA are and perma ban them. This doesn't take away the information they have, but it keeps them from getting more.

I know I am responsible for what is on the internet about me. This thread isn't for victim blaming, it's for helping people. I'd really appreciate any suggestions or recommendations from people, especially internet security experts, on how to limit the damage. Information on how to find out any identifying stuff a person has posted and clear it would also very be helpful. Finally, doxxing can lead to identity theft and victims and targets definitely want to prevent or counteract that. Is Life Lock a good solution? I've heard conflicting things.

If you don't have any information on how to help you can still help by just notifying someone if they're being targeted or if they've been doxxed and help them document evidence.

Wait is the actual act of "doxxing" illegal/immoral if it's just a centralization of information that is public or voluntarily given out by the person in the past? Or is doxxing when someone hacks and leaks info about you?
If it's the former then isn't that just some yellow books poo poo? Is it only wrong if someone acts on that information? Do victims of "swatting" usually get vindication/justice or do they just end up hosed? I guess there was that one example of super deadly forum drama (not on something awful) where there was some twisted partly unrequited love triangle, well I guess more like two mods/admins and a third creepy member who obsessed with one of them and murdered them. Not talhotblonde, it was in Europe and on some random video game forum I think

as far as I'm aware there's been one or two cases of justice but usually the cops don't want to admit they could possibly make a mistake or be manipulated therefore the normal thing is to just end up hosed

The Jenner thing is weird cause it fit perfectly with the longterm troll theory. I remember her having posts that were just blatantly ripped from feminist blogs and stuff and she's so over the top stereotypical with an extra dash of crazy. But I guess it turns out she is just legit that crazy?? The Kiwi doxx people still think she was running a long con goons are too stupid to understand and was even pretending in real life which uh... Yeah I really doubt that

I don't think anyone actually thought she was literally niggerstomper58, just that the was she phrased it was pretty much identical to when other people have broken serious posts by posting the NS58 screed partway through. Considering how dead serious and paranoid she came off for all her other recent posts it really read like she was breaking up a gimmick on purpose

Doxxing is tying someone's online personal to their IRL info. It usually isn't done through hacking, but through obsessively crawling through post histories, social media links and personal info that, posted in the singular are irrelevant but then combined together can form a complete persona used to harass and intimidate someone.

It's privacy through obscurity. Doxxing may not be illegal but it's a really lovely thing to do to someone.

My SA life is pretty siloed from my real life but I know I've posted enough info over the last 10 years that someone with enough effort and obsession could comb over my entire post history and track down my name and probably my PO Box I use for everything if not my real address

The story starts in an e/n thread,

The story starts before that, Jenner had her own personal e/n thread about her fall into suicidal depression that she was in treatment for but it was not working. Nothing was working. It was incredibly sad. This went on for nearly half the year prior to her consent blow up, and is why e/n regulars in that thread are asking if she's on her meds or not.
Not that one has to be off meds to feel strongly about matters of consent, but holy poo poo even months later in the QCS thread she's STILL calling everyone who disagreed with her "men" despite multiple women blatantly identifying themselves as such and asking her wtf too.

NS58 or not I'm glad she's getting a break from here.

That's a good explanation imo. For the vast majority of us, a dox probably wouldn't matter much because we're boring to the extent where it isn't worthwhile to do a one, but as far as simply re-sharing information that people have posted themselves, it is worth keeping in mind that some people are vulnerable and outing stuff like their sexuality, political leanings and other sensitive information is potentially harmful.

The privacy through obscurity is a nice way to put it, I thought.

niggerstomper58 is the writer on one of the best posts these forums have produced

quote:

im permabanned poster niggerstomper58. i first started reading fyad when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of “irony” and tried to channel it constantly, until my thought process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like “friend of the family balls” and “i love making GBS threads inside friend of the family assholes” in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of “ironic” style of fyad humor was all about; i think it’s the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who “get” fyad to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.

He specifically used the site Kiwi Farms which is currently doxxing all of our mods/admins/trans people as an example of a good content creator because of the stuff they were doing regarding Shmorky and said words like tranny etc that are currently probatable would no longer be so and he stopped two mods/admins from closing the shmorky thread despite it turning into a bloated unfunny nightmare. In my opinion.

Basically the main site admins and most of the mods rebelled and black baby goku destroyed the thread with longcat and uh this is still pretty fresh I'm not even sure how much I'm allowed to talk about this if at all. I'm sure the narrative will change as things evolve that's just how I've seen it so far, it's been an insane mess and I'm not really sure what to make of it
