I've been in voice chats with both Turtlicious and Boba Pearl and checking back I'm just now realizing they sound exactly the same. This is a very very weird feeling.

Hahahaha....how does this always happen?

Some plague rats, Boba Pearl...who's next?

To be real with all of you, I am....aghast. Boba, I went out on a limb by allowing you to return to posting on this site, previously posting as permabanned user Turtlicious, and I just.....don't know what to say. You posted about missing SPR the morning you did this. Did you not remember how this hurt people? Do you not see how concerned and worried this makes people in this community?

This is what I meant by being hard to find the words and not ghosting.

I have been mad about this for days but I also knew it was a Jeff thing to comment on. Please know we take things like this extremely seriously.

I hope it isn’t cringe to say this is pretty emotionally distressing.

Ignoring the rest of this this is pretty much exactly what anybody with a brain was asking for so yeah good ideas.

as i understand it sa used to do this like 20 years ago and removed it because it was too much work and pissed the admins off

it didn't happen twice though
turtlicious had a flawless evil plan
she saw how spr got caught for it and took extra steps to specifically avoid that self-buy pitfall by using a vpn plus 10bux anonymous purchases
she got caught because she hosed up and accidentally posted on her main through the vpn

when the THIRD insane self doxxing goon comes along they will learn from her mistake and maintain proper vpn hygiene by only doxxing themselves through a prepaid burner phone. then jeff will contact the credit card processor and nuke them through that

I started writing this post about avatars before all this happened but it stands now:

First and foremost - I will shut down the website before I turn off avatar purchases entirely. They've been part of this site for twenty years and are here to stay, forever. If you feel this violates the Geneva convention or whatever other wild exaggeration, please go post on some other website. We have deputized more than 200 mods and IKs to blank offensive avatars and they are downright quick about it.

I am willing to make the store change such that people need to log in to buy avatars, and I (and I alone) can see who purchased one. If someone doxxes someone in their avatar, I want to permaban them. But this is not going to be used for avatars that are simply insulting - it’s serious real-life poo poo only. I’m not going to even consider looking one of these up unless it would be an instant-permaban, by my discretion alone. I respect the privacy of the passive-aggressive avatar-buying box and I’m not going to discourage people from buying them by overzealously tattling on them.

If you guys want this feature to work, I must insist - do not create work for the admins by demanding they reveal an avatar buyer over insults. I am not going to allow the website volunteers to waste their time fielding an endless series of demands to know who bought a given avatar. If people can’t help themselves but work themselves into frenzies demanding to know who bought a given avatar, I will revert the change and we’ll go back to the old way. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

Overall, here’s where this stands:

• Avatar purchases will not be turned off, ever.
  
• I will require users to log in to buy avatars.
  
• I alone will have access to that information and will use it only in the case of truly heinous avatars that I would instantly permaban someone for, and only when requested by the avatar receiver.
  
• If I feel demands for revealing these are being abused in any way, I will undo this change and they will go back to being anonymous.

Well.....I suspect the first part of this is not true. The presence of someone writing credible death threats on the site in any form is serious as hell. I've been looking into it for a few days at this point, including contacting the payment processor and digging through the database, and got as much information as I could - this was doxxing combined with a death threat and this is easily warranted. I wanted to see if the person that did this could be found despite our store's limitations, and, if they are posting on this site, permaban them, and provide information to Boba Pearl to contact the police, if she chose to. Unfortunately, I am forced to conclude that Boba Pearl purchased these avatars for herself. The core of it is that she recently posted from one of the IPs that I have associated with one of the two avatar purchases, in a way that does not line up at all with the stories she told me. There are a bunch of details beyond that, but I don't really want to lay them all out here. It's bad and manipulative. Boba Pearl is someone I consider a friend, and it hurts to be lied to and misled in this way. I just really can't deal with writing up a big long post about the private conversations I had with her leading up to this conclusion, but I also can't leave it unaddressed.

To be real with all of you, I am....aghast. Boba, I went out on a limb by allowing you to return to posting on this site, previously posting as permabanned user Turtlicious, and I just.....don't know what to say. You posted about missing SPR the morning you did this. Did you not remember how this hurt people? Do you not see how concerned and worried this makes people in this community?

Why on earth did you let someone come back who threatened to commit a terrorist attack with pipe bombs and bragged about it?

Why did you feel this was a valuable poster who should be allowed here?

Irony Be My Shield posted:

Why would you let the world's most pathetic failed domestic terrorist back on the website? Why are they still not permabanned now that they've also engaged in an utterly deranged act of slander against their posting enemies?

Nanomashoes posted:

Have we considered that it wasn't Boba Original that did the doxxing, but one of her other personalities, and therefore she cant be blamed for it? Just like when she made a post in the webcomic thread about how she falsely accused a friend of pedophilia and somehow ate no punishment:

I read this as FruitNYogurtParfait saying that Boba Pearl is a Turtlicious rereg, but then they didn't provide any more information, so everyone just started talkin' 'bout Turt instead. If I'm wrong, then I blame not enough coffee yet. If I'm right, you should have proof if you're gonna drop something like that into the Messy Bitches Who Love Drama thread.

Or it could just be a troll and I got played.
