Talking Footy

Ok, listen up all.

People have the right to keep their anonymity on an Internet forum. No names or personal details should be posted about other members without their permission. This is totally unacceptable and penalties will be severe. I've deleted the relevant posts. Phelpsy has now earned himself a lengthy ban.

Having said that a number of posters on LU revealed my full name, work place and even work number on the main page of LU a number of times while I wasn't even a member of the site! I am in the process of perusing action against them as we speak.

this is a fucking outrage

they should be fucking banned

it is a CLEAR breach of privacy laws & these forums rules
Its ridiculous that all they get is a warning
a warning is grossly inadequate

I'm going to lock this thread now, but I want to say one last thing. Debating on an internet is supposed to be a bit of fun. However some people are beginning to take this too far. Repeated stereotyping or name calling is verging on bullying levels and will not be tolerated. Keep the discussions to the topics. If your posts are merely an insult only I will simply delete them on site.

I guess you missed the part where I said Phelpsy had been banned

Thank you Xman

Likewsie at LU moderators and posters revealed my full name, tried to track down my work place and posted my study details along with hacking one of my email accounts. I was then banned. RL supporters are a weird bunch if you ask me. First to make things very personal and then complain when it happens to them. Like I said a weird bunch. BTW, none of those moderators or posters were ever banned at LU. Why is it people can't stick to the code wars without taking things to a personal level? Very sad indeed.

That all said, Xman is right here as usual and has taken appropriate action. Further to that, NO more posts with YIP, YIP or lapdog or bitch. They will not be tolerated from this point on. It ruins a thread and clearly demonstrates the poster has nothing else to contribute to the thread topic or code wars. You've been warned.
