Quoting Mara:" true. i can see how it could turn into a cluster-fudge of allegations if they know each other more ... [snip!] ... if they out themself, that's different. we're talking about openly id-ing something that they've tried to keep private. "

my thought is it needs to be cut and dry. you outted a bg secrets member, you are banned. that way you wont feel compelled to let them back and people won't be pissed because the member was banned.

Quoting Jas ♥:" Sorry, I didn't get that."

some guy with glasses frowning at you.

What is considered outing them out?

Quoting Chuck Finley.:" What is considered outing them out?"

making an accusation / statement on the public boards that connects / identifies them with their BG secrets post.

Honestly, its time to get over it.


And I say no ban.

Absolutely.

whoops. pretend I didn't post.

I suppose for me it is more difficult since I am on a company owned computer and I can't do anything different. I can't down load browsers or reconfigure my IP address.

Oh shoot Mara sorry.

Quoting God:" Oh shoot Mara sorry."

i feel all FBI-tacular when i do that.

Say 2 members are bickering on the account in a thread. The person realizes who they are and they post a city and state saying "I'll see you in hell Michigan" because the BG secrets user said to go to hell to the member.

Quoting Barney Stinson [Epic]:" can you remove your quote from me?"

Done.

Quoting Chuck Finley.:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Mara:</b>" making an accusation / statement on the public boards ... [snip!] ... they post a city and state saying "I'll see you in hell Michigan" because the BG secrets user said to go to hell to the member."

nice one.

i'm a little confused about the convenience of hell michigan being their city/state.

but... let's say it's not hell michigan.

let's say it's oregon city, oregon (where i grew up).

i'll see you in oregon city, oregon, you not-so-secret BG secret poster, you!

it's a clue, but not an explicit outing... but it's also definitely malicious.

IF it's in the BG secrets is the OP, they should flag it as an attack. that'll provide the malicious member a chance to calm down and shut up about it in public before they end up actually outing them and getting banned.
