How Should Doxing Be Handled - Share Your Opinion


Posts: 2485

When responding to the following below, consider how you would feel if it was your personal information being exposed for anyone here to abuse and exploit.

In another thread I posted a comment similar to this: 

"A moderator should show consistency in how they handle things, therefore, I believe personal information containing real names, addresses and phone numbers of either a member here or their family members should be immediately deleted. Of course, that's assuming they will admit the info is theirs. As Pink has proven, that's not always going to be case. Therefore, I believe any claim from the person doing the doxing that the info belongs to a member here (or their family) should be reason enough to delete it immediately." 

Do you agree with that statement?

Or do you believe doxing should be handled a different way?

It means if someone doxes you and admits the information is yours or one of your family members, that should be reason enough to have it deleted immediately.

I don't understand this sentence.

I agree that it shouldn't be handled at all. Unless it's me :D

So, you would not want the moderator to remove your information if it was posted on the forum?

No.  Would I be happy about being doxxed?  Of course not.  But I'm not going to be a whiny bitch, and push further moderation at a site that thrives from the lack of it, just because I was too stupid to cover my tracks.  Even with the current option of requesting it be taken down, I wouldn't out of principle.  In fact my photo has been publicly leaked against my will several times, and I never involved moderation.

Nope. I disagree. I think that the only time a doxx should be removed is when the person who's information was shared requests it. It's more fun when someones family becomes aware that their info is on a website called sc and that THEY have to confirm its them to have it taken down.

You would find it fun to have your info exposed and then have someone call your family to confirm it's yours?

If it doesn't get handled at all, then that includes you.

You have to think of how this could affect you personally and respond as such.
