I'm starting to lose track of which are IKs and which are mods when looking at the D&D forum index.

It's quite likely indeed, for example, pointing out that the moronic extremely hostile poster, posting in the exact same voice and the exact same things, is the same guy on a different account (as opposed to a rename), was lyingly misconstrued as "doxxing", which is of course a different thing, but it gets the admins reacting, so it'll continue to be used

Close!

We were discussing something and I mentioned someone's alt (that everyone on the mod/admin team knew about), but I accidentally posted it in a place that IKs could view and not just mods/admin. After the whole Cinci thing, they were "zero tolerance" on it because the IKs shouldn't have been able to see it.

There's a mod discord, but there are channels that IKs can use. I posted it in the channel one down from the mod/admin channel to the one the IKs can view.

It's hard to not think that Fluffdaddy intentionally phrased it in a way that would make people think/speculate that it was worse.

Something somebody actually wrote sincerely that is basically word for word what I would say as sarcasm posted:

He was doing Something with someone's personal info, that's really all the information we need.

Fluff didn't say that. How are you dudes still lying to yourself about what is going on here? You quoted Yinlock to make it look like Fluff said that. Just be honest.

I wasn't trying to give the impression that that was something Fluffdaddy said, but rather that it was the kind of response his announcement was virtually guaranteed to produce. (Everybody else got that, right? Sorry if not.)

Maybe, but I think probably not.

Fluff is sort of a notoriously bad communicator and he made the decision unilaterally without any other admin last night because they were doing 0 tolerance on anything alt-related. So, he probably just didn't want to say much. If it was actually something serious, then they would have given me a ban or actually said explicitly what it was. Koos said he would advocate for me, but Fluff is also pretty notorious for not changing his mind about anything, so I don't expect much.

except that his OG account had PII unwillingly posted to it, so to distance themselves from the PII they registered the new account. By linking the two accounts together with the callout by a mod, they were just re-exposing them.

Literally everyone could tell it was the exact same person from them posting in the exact same places, the exact same things with the exact same rear end in a top hat tone though, even without IP lookup capabilities? In any case that's not doxxing

Hi it's me the idiot who kept saying "obviously it was LaLD" after seeing the Avatar and only having the context of him having already been outed.

Even though it was obvious to those who knew his posting voice well and paid close attention, the turgid flagella account was not officially known to be lald and it is a bad look for mods to out reregs of doxxed accounts. While Cinci's these version of this was the least bad possible, I am fully on board with a zero tolerance policy on doxing accounts. Him being a mod just really made it seem more like he definitely knew cuz of mod powers even though we later found out that wasn't true.

the admins can do witness protection program poo poo where they can hook someone up with an anonymous account with a faked regdate and extra notice to mods to not expose it

Cinci's weird list posting was interesting because I feel like he was getting very close to describing well the class like behavior of posters. You get a bunch of people who don't know each other but have similar interests. you see how those interests make them move in parallel and if you don't understand what you're looking at you see a conspiracy

The long delay between the doxxing and the new account had me thinking it was just a name change too.
