As always, Jeff is the only person at this point who can meaningfully respond to this topic and he's been silent the last few times it's come up.

But I have a real good feeling about this one.

start a profit sharing agreement with the people that get doxxed and/or threatened to get a portion (10% seems fair) of all proceeds derived from the threats against their wellbeing. That way everyone has an equitable share of the pie

iirc user lib and let die got doxxed by avatar purchase about this time last year so we're basically at a full year now of transphobic or doxxing av purchases being brought up to jeff as an issue

Countdown until one of the admins pops in here to say there's nothing that can be done about it because Jeff doesn't even answer their messages.

Glad we take doxxing less seriously here than loving Reddit does.

At this point even a "I don't think this issue is worth the time it would take to fix it" out of him would be more than the year of silence we've gotten. It really sucks that after his completely failed attempt at spinning his image when SAD opened he's just completely given up on interacting with feedback.

It makes me wonder, what was it that made him give up and walk away? There had to be a straw that was the last.

Also come the gently caress on and make av purchases traceable. You can go back to the aether once you’ve done the right thing, Jeff.

I think something about how the Wintertime situation went down soured him

The last official business I can think of involving him was the mod guidelines topic, itself years overdue, and the only thing to come from it was an admin and mod getting banned for unrelated reasons

It sucks because I think he's just stuck in a negative feedback loop wherein he thinks we all hate him and thus he shouldn't even bother, but by ignoring things (like op) people will get more mad and frustrated.

SA is fickle but on the plus side that means even a single right move (like op) would immediately result in a lot of people being happy about how things are going. Just gotta break out of that loop

Does the anonymous av purchase being removed really change anything? Couldn't someone just register a fresh account and post a picture doxxing someone if they wanted to?

While yes someone could do that, the forum actually does have some custom tools for identifying alt accounts. This is restricted to certain admins and maybe even just Jeff at the moment. They're pretty good.

Also, sometimes people reregging just use the same email. It's that easy to ID some of them.

they've avoided SAD wholesale since like February or whatever. It's pretty bad and lovely and I thought he hired someone to remind him to read the forums? or if they no longer do that, maybe the other admins should be more proactive in reminding him that there's Jeff specific stuff that's gone unanswered/resolved/commented upon for months (assuming that didn't happen yet).

I think asking the part time coder to do something clearly outside the scope of his employment as dictated by his employer is putting him into a bad position. This is a Jeff task. We wait for him.

He probably is overwhelmed by goons being goons and just bitching and moaning every time he posts. Heavy wears the crown and all that. Still, just doing this would basically shut me and a ton of people up. This and attachments 2.0 would have him hailed like a king.

at this point idg there's no queue whatsoever to screen doxx & hateful/abusive stuff, or even a flag for people who've already had hosed up avs purchased to require mod/admin approval. it doesn't seem like that would be difficult to implement since it wouldn't have to touch the payment side or change it at all

Grip it and rip it posted:

Anyone got a link to what happened? This sounds like some goontelephone.txt

a poster was doxxed with what was claimed to be their address and a death threat in a custom av purchase 2x in a row and that poster has been given hosed up avs previously and there's still nothing to prevent it from happening

teemolover42069 posted:

pretty sure I just saw a user get doxxed via someone putting their address in their avatar anonymously and I am impressed with how quickly it got blanked by an admin - seriously, great job - but holy poo poo that needs to no longer be an option.

It was me, there were two of them in a row and I got them both almost immediately. Those titles were really hosed up whether the information in them was accurate or not, which is something I do not know or want to know. I would love the ability to see who bought them.
