bacab Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 MySpace is censored as MySpace, but the banner ads on the forums contains content related to MySpace. Even has the word MySpace (not censored) in big neon green flashy letters. Just a little odd to me. edit - btw . . . http://cdn5.tribalfusion.com/media/605916.gif http://cdn5.tribalfusion.com/media/605886.gif http://cdn5.tribalfusion.com/media/605906.gif et cetera. We don't rebel to sell it just suits us well, we're the bright young things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albosky Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 I'll try to shed some light on this as best as I can The site in question is censored on our forums for one reason , its all about personal information , which we do not allow so we cant likely allow our users to post their homepage links there , as it would be the same as letting them post personal information directly onto the forums. As for the ads , they do not direct our users to the homepage of one of our specific users , or any other specific user. They are all for tools and downloads to make building your site easier, better, etc.. And as just about everyone on earth knows , thats pretty much the newest "craze", so we cant liekly stop our users from building these homepages. I do agree that the censor is a bit of out of sorts , so i have adjusted it a bit so the word itself is not censored , only direct links. Theres no reason people cant DISCUSS myspace , as long as they do not try to link to their homepages I like to fart silently but deadly in movie theatersArd Choille says (11:41 PM):I wouldn't dare tell you what to do m'dear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anesthesia Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 What about when people post links to their own pages? More often than not these contain just as much info (if not more) than their MySpace profile (which does not allow them to post exact addresses). For that matter, what about the homepage field? Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More often than not these contain just as much info (if not more) than their MySpace profile (which does not allow them to post exact addresses). For that matter, what about the homepage field?Any information posted containing IRL pictures, address or names will be removed on sight by the moderators... And the homepage field can contain many things, just because you have a website doesnt mean it tells irl info about yourself... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vape Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Hey, guess what Jeppe? In 3 minutes I can get Bubsa's RL name and photo, Nadril's real name, Mercifull's real name and photo, and Weezcake's photo, first name and highschool, just by visiting their homepages. These are all prominent community members and Weezcake is a moderator. I don't advocate removing such information.. go google for any of their names and hey presto. It's just not realistic to remove such information when it's available with a simple username search on google.. What's my point here? Basuically you can't treat teenagers and adults like children. Ps. Is that Albosky I see?! Where the bloody hell are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Don't forget that for some people, if you do a whois on their domain, you can get a lot more than just their name. @Cameron: You can get more than that :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ks_Jeppe Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 What's my point here? Basuically you can't treat teenagers and adults like childrenYou know my story and what happened to me a few years back, you should know better than anyone why i have the views on this that i do... Furthermore, do you want us to stop treating the community like children? Fine, but then you'd first have to convince me that we don't have any children, and that all of our users fully are aware of the dangers of posting such information on the internet, and that they are themselves responsible for any further things that happen... For gods sake Cam, do you think that we're doing this cause we're powersick and want to be controlling and manipulative? I thought you knew the site and the admins better than that...

Vape Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Jeppe: no no no, I wasn't having a go at you or anything, I was just pointing out that the staff already has some leeway for personal information when they know the community member is older than the average tip.it-er. I fully support removing such information when the user isn't known to be old(er) (ie. if unknown user, remove.) Where the bloody hell are you?

saidada1189 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 WOW My thoughts are that Myspace is really EVIL and therefore whould be banned Personally i know the dangers. This is because i read a lot of new. You wouoldl have to do serious diggin to find my name. When I checked in 2005 there were no pictures of me irl. There is a pic of my school tho. Some people don't. The thing is that I can find pic of some of the mods here, their names, and what they like to do for a living. Well ok only one. I haven't tried the rest because I simply don't care. I just wanted to prove that it is possible to find information, but every bit of protection helps. Just look a tthe bad news it has made Can look at porn Can be id thefted ETC In this one Jeppe is right like always -sai PS: Calm down jeppe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
