EDIT: also the earliest reference to the term "internet detective" as a term of posting personal information about somebody on saclopedia was around early 2006

tried some googlefu

2003: "Tutorial: How Do I find people and personal data records?" uses the term "internet detective" (but its more about finding long lost family members i guess):
http://www.romanyk.net/search/find.somones.search.people.persons.tutorial.htm

there are some earlier ones but i didnt see any that meant the same thing, ie:

It was definitely abused back then too

This is the earliest instance I can find on the forums at a glance of internet detectiving people being used for ill and overall seen as a negative. And this is the very beginning of January 2006.

Basically, a guy who posted here and worked at Microsoft would post tidbits of information about what was coming down the pipe from them. Somebody else took issue with that and reported it to his bosses at MS, who then fired him.

I dunno I would call that a grey area? Like he's basically just leaking trade secrets. I can see that one both ways I guess.

Looking closer, he was toeing the line but not actually crossing it, and it sounds like his immediate bosses knew and were cool about it, since it wasn't major stuff, but like "this bug getting fixed." But the internet detective went way over his head about it and made his bosses bosses bosses boss freak out that somebody was leaking.

Also I guess he didn't actually get fired, just got in hot water.

I remember back when Kiwifarms wasn't Kiwifarms, most of the people there at least came off as normal and well-adjusted people (at least no worse than your average goon). I even met two of them in person and I'm still close friends with one to this day. There wasn't a whole lot of interest outside of how bizarre CWC is.

Over the course of like 5 years after I left the board, they suddenly transformed into this hellspawn that it is where they're stalking random people and obsessively detailing their every tweet and driving past their homes because they're "SJWs". Voidburger is one of their current targets and they've been trying their hardest to doxx her and ChipCheezum.

actually, don't doxx anyone, under any circumstance. you can, however, send the relevant information to the mods and administrators and they will handle it appropriately, as is their duty; this may include contacting local law enforcement.

That's not true; some people who respond in earnest might be trying to beat the creeps to answering, and simply having been around here long enough you're likely to know something about CWC.

That being said, there is no benefit for anyone in talking about CWC/Chris-chan. Including this hypocritical post.

I know a guy who is being stalked by them and its driving the poor guy to tears, like it'd still be shitbird behavior if he were reacting comically, but he's mostly just going "please stop, and whoever is feeding them information, also please stop"

I've felt the schadenfreude of someone having a meltdown after being hosed with too much and I'm not particularly proud of that- I can't imagine being so disassociated that the freude just comes from stock-standard misery

The CWC thing is honestly just loving terrifying, it's like a sci-fi concept come to life. It's basically just twitch plays pokemon except with an actual human being - all will and autonomy scooped out and replaced with blindly following internet commands without question. The scary part isn't CWC him/herself but the people who know exactly what it's all about and still willingly go for it. Who the gently caress is that sinister they'd be into that poo poo?
