Re: One Mother
Still A mod abusing power
Well I care because I'd like to know how exposed our IPs were? Was it just mods and Onederful or were they available to anyone that happened to notice?
As far as using the info to expose AEs, I don't have a problem with that. And I don't really have an issue with however she got the info, it would just ease my mind a bit if I knew they were only available to a limited number of people and not anyone that just looked at the site.
Can we just let this one go, guys? I think we can all agree that the information shared brought a lot of peace of mind to some people that had been victimized and raised red flags on people that many of us were close with and needed to know not to trust them with anything private. If there was any abuse of power, I'm thankful for it and would hate to see that person be penalized for trying to protect their e-friends.
If this becomes frequent or used for evil, I'd feel differently.
This is my siggy. Love it.
seeing IPs- who cares?
posting IPs- only dumb sluts do that. (hi JMS!)
So which is the lesser of evils, a mod exposing a malicious AE or the AE roaming free?
For reals ya'll...let it go.
This is my siggy. Love it.
Thank you
Good to know your tits are feeling better.
This is my siggy. Love it.
I think a lot of people want to believe you. It's just tough since we know it wasn't an IT glitch about MGK since she confirmed it was true.
This is my siggy. Love it.
I think if it was a mod finding out, I doubt the IP addresses were passed along, more that their results were, and OM didn't want to cause issues so she said she saw the IPs.

hiiiiiii! yes i heard of the AE/IP gate and just read the first couple pages before it was deleted.
It all comes down to this: TB's IT people cannot seem to get off their couches long enough to be sure something works before they roll it out. Or, heck, something works on the site itself without a new format. It is amazing how behind this site is compared to even the simplest options of message boards elsewhere.
If mods cannot see IPs, that's great- I agree, I just hope TB Gods work a little faster in putting AE's together and banning them. The three day wait coming back is a step in the right direction.
probably because im super cool. just a guess.
someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning!
oh, ok.

It looked like 8+ pages. I only read a couple, enough to see that it might not have been just mods who could see the IPs during the glitch, and that other people have bigger drama than we do and I am so grateful for that.

I don't care if OM saw the IP addresses personally.
That's not the point of what happened and if people are focusing on that, they need to get their heads out of their respective buttholes.

HEY TPIS! I miss you, dumb slut!
Let me first say that I am not mad at OM. If I had that info in front of me, I don't know if I'd be able to resist sharing it either.
But I am irritated as h3ll at the Bump. For years, they've been telling us they have no ability to track IPs and wringing their hands at us that they're nothing they can do about the AEs, even when people post truly vile stuff that all but shuts down the boards. Now, it turns out that they do have all the IPs and aren't even safeguarding them?!
I'd like to know if IP tracking is a feature that was brought in with the new platform or if this is something they've had all along and just been to lazy or incompetent to use.
I don't have too many illusions about internet privacy, but I do feel like sites shouldn't make it easy for members to stalk other members, especially when they do little to no moderation to discourage the crazies in the first place.
I dunno, guys. The more I think about it the more p!ssed off I get.
Ella - are you being serious?
Why are you being a meanie to TPIS?
In the cast of Pfft specifically, it doesn't matter if OM saw her IP address for identifying reasons.
A lot of us have e-known Pfft for years. There are people who have met her IRL and hung out with her and her child. Knowing her IP address wouldn't add any information that she hadn't given freely in the past.
That being said, I have no problem with mods having the power of knowing IP addresses. That makes it much much easier for TB to identify trolls and ban them on the IP level, effectively banning them for lyfe or until they get a different IP address.
It adds several steps to the process and, if a person is so gung-ho about trolling an internet message board, maybe the additional steps will help them take a step back and ask themselves what the f'uck is wrong with them.
Pfft's trolls were not very malicious. She said a handful of cruel things but it was basically for shiit stirring. But there ARE people out there who get very very personal and hurtful.
THOSE are the people who need to be identified and banned and since the BGs can't be here all the time, it's up to the mods to have the identifying power.
And that's all I'm going to say about that.

I don't know what you're referring to. It's not like TPIS was a total as$hole in the spirit of LCB. She (has) added some fun to the board.
Sorry I ruined your Black Panther party.

Well, clearly I'm clueless.
I just want the board to get back to where it was last summer. I've stayed away because it's been so weird.
Didn't she clear things up by showing up for the Atlanta GTG?
You don't *have* to be nice. But don't tell her she sucks.
Can't we all just get along?
I think this came up yesterday somewhere.
Non-bump/Nest employees should not have access to IPs. This includes volunteer moderators, even BostonKisses, who I would personally send all my IPs to.
It's actually a pretty serious violation of internet privacy principles I'm still processing. I'm also waiting for a serious statement from BJ or other Admin.
