RULES UPDATE, Please Read

[TitanTiger 20,469]

The board rules have been amended to add the following:

Quote

14) Posting personal information (real-life names, locations, photos, work place, etc.) of other members without their express and explicit permission to you specifically is prohibited.  This will result in a temporary suspension or possibly a permanent ban from the site, up to the discretion of the Administrators.  There is a reason we allow people to make screen names.  Just because you know who someone is in real life, or you're able to link them to a Facebook or Twitter account doesn't mean you're free to post or reference that information on the forums.

 

We've had a couple of recent incidents of this and apparently need to clarify how message board behavior works.  Note the underlined portion.  If you have not asked and received explicit permission from a user to post their personally identifiable information on these boards, don't do it.  That information is theirs to control and reveal as they see fit.

As mentioned above, anyone who violates this rule will, at a minimum, be temporarily suspended from the site.  A permanent ban is on the table as well, up to the discretion of the Admin team.

Do not say you didn't know.
