Derek Will Go On

Every night, on my screen
I see you, I read you
That is how I know you go on

Far across the Internet
And bannings between us
You have come to blog, and blog

Here, banned, wherever you are
I believe that your twitter feed will go on
Once... more.... you doxx some random guy
And now your banned again, and this ban will go on and on

Love can touch us one week
And last for, at least two weeks
And never stop posting until your unbanned

Love was when I skimmed it
That one time, I clicked it
In my life, it will go on

Here, banned, wherever you are
I believe that your twitter feed will go on
Once... more.... you doxx some random guy
And now your banned again, and this ban will go on and on

You're gone, yet I still feel I may be next
And I hope that, those seven vpns hold up
My bet is you'll be back in two weeks
You are safe, in my browser cache, which will go on and on!

These are cool. I especially like the way the rigging allows arms but not shoulders to move in on collision detection and the way it doesn't clip through anything.

Let's try and keep a delineation between the forums and Derek's discord. If there's some relevant Star Citizen news or Derek has an especially good take on something and you want to screenshot it and share it please feel free. I'm also going to be leaving the discord thread up so that new folks can find their way in. But quite frankly I left his discord when I realized I was going to have to perma him because I don't want or need the drama, and if/when it shows up there, please leave it there. If there's something you feel I really need to know about you can PM me or reach me on my discord if you're involved there, but otherwise importing drama is going to be a non-starter. Hopefully everyone can continue enjoying the Star Citizen discussion both there and here and none of this will be an issue.

I've never been dishonest on this forum and and I won't be now: I genuinely liked the warlord. I joined when drunk just to say what a bunch of cunts you guys were to him.

Doxxing. He Linked a tweet of some jackass outing himself. IMO it wasn't technically doxxing, because it was a public tweet. The definition of Doxxing remains sharing information that is not public, but IMO it was still bannable because it was in such typical, horrible, totally unnecessary, warlordian taste. And anyway the definition of doxxing has kind of awkwardly shifted now that literally everything is public.

In any case, I'd love for a mod here to give a comprehensible definition of doxxing.

Doxxing actually means revealing information which is otherwise hidden about a person, usually personal info.

What he did is not doxxing but fear dictates the rules of the internet nowdays. Safe places, etc.

E: Before somebody comes in with tired shtick like "oh ho ho look at these people who defend Derek," I am not defending him. Just stating what doxxing actually is vs. what manbabies define it to be.

Ah alright, I didn't see the original I guess.

In any case, it was a hosed up move, I agree with the ban.

I have to admit, Derek's retarded antics were an incredible source of comedy I will personally miss. But I think we squoze the last drips of juice out of that rock after the "I called it" movement.

gently caress. I am a sycophant, I guess, but I'd like to see something that cannot be denied if it's a charge against Derek.

If it's watertight I obviously have no ground to stand on. Reality beats feeling.

If it's everyone making GBS threads themselves about the term "doxxing" and not something that actually causes real harm then I feel Derek has been done in by people without any moral courage.

Derek's gone a long way to alienate most of the thread so honestly I'm surprised it took this long for someone to finally be fed up enough with him to just perma him

If you can get perma'd for jokingly threatening to assassinate Trump via unbirthing then sure you can get perma'd for getting on a mod's nerves by doing the doxxing equivalent of "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you" for loving years.

It's generally a gut call on a mod-by-mod basis. The upshot is that goons are gonna goon and there's always going to be some obsessive smoothbrain who takes "someone posted IRL info of someone" as fair game to pull some 4chan level poo poo, then the cops get involved, then the FBI is calling Lowtax for post histories and Lowtax traditionally takes a dim view of having some rear end in a top hat on the forums making him have to deal with the FBI.

So now most mods tend to err on the side of "not letting it get to a point where lowtax has to get involved". IRL names, addresses etc. tend to be no-nos, even if they're "easily" found because if said smoothbrains actually go hunting then at least SA isn't involved in publicizing the stuff.

Hi, I am a mod (but not here! I am a self-respecting mod) and doxxing is very simple.

If you link a real name (or other identifying information) to someone who was otherwise known as "Toops", "MoMA", "alf_pogs" or other silly handle, that's doxxing. It has really little to do with the information being hidden or public or whatever, if someone uses a handle then don't go sniffing. (The only exception is when I do it, then it's not doxxing) I hope that clears the waters a bit.

And now I'll summon an authority in the topic at hand:

I mean if someone knows your name literally all it takes is one momentary, baleful glance from the internet at large to effectively ruin your life

Admittedly this is more of an issue for people who are prone to saying things that would get them in trouble if they said them in real life and are relying on the thin veneer of online anonymity to save them from their poor decisions, but unless you can monetize the popularity in some way then it's not something most people are gung ho about inviting

I loved Derek for that.

Even when I joined I had the sense MoMa got that (thanks MoMa for a friendly welcome, and Titanic). TBH he took far more crap than he dealt out, even though he'd call me an idiot for saying so.

Is this place so precious it's going to hide behind "doxxing" because he trod on a few toes?
