This Disturbs Me

[Dillinger]

Actually i don't think anybody can post here as an "unregistered" user if they aren't registered here in the first place.

when i first came across the boards as an unregistered person i tried opening a few pictures (I was horny) and got the message "you do not have the permission to view/post here"...even after I registered i was still unable to open anything or reply to any posts untill i activated my account via e-mail.

This means that in order to post as "unregistered" you need to disable any cookies that may be saved...someone without any cookies or an active account can't post here at all. Of course someone could register without ever having been here and then disabling cookies..but I doubt they'd know this info...

I was going to post this last night on one of the threads but i hate promoting paranoia...I may be new here but I'm definately a message board vet and there hasn't been a single board I've come across that doesn't have this problem...its just a fact of cyber life. You guys are collectively pretty good at handling trolls...either ignoring them or playing with thier minds (that poor highschooljock...!)...one thing I've learned is morons eventually slip up.

It happens all the time. Its easy to disable cookies. People often accidently post here as unregistered after they disabled cookies and forgot to sign back in.

Wrong! I did on my first post, then I registered.

Ooopsies!

Then how did it change?

Could someone have kept their post session open - by simply not closing their broswer after posting the troll nonesense and then clicked back->back->back->back until they reached the page that granted them post permissions?

 

[kotori]

Lavy,

Then how did it change?

let it go. It's not worth it.

 

[Tremolo]

I don't think that works either, because the page usually expires and you can't just go back. It won't let you

 

[Dillinger]

My turn to agree with you Kotori.

Not worth it. The assholes never are.

 

[Laurel]

Then how did it change?

I have no idea. It doesn't make any logical sense. There's no one who has that power save Manu and I, and I swear on all I hold dear that neither of us made or edited those posts. I really don't know what to say.

I read it last night and it did say 'little girl'. That comment went right through me.

 

[sexy-girl]

perhaps it was another trolling post that says little girl ? and this one just says young woman

 

[Guest]

I know you didn't make those posts Laurel. Maybe someone just tweaked with the system or something.

Sorry to cause a mess, it just puzzled me.

My we are grasping at straws just for a bit of attention, aren't we?

Quite reminds me a bit of bratcat in a way.

tsk tsk tsk

 

[Dillinger]

I know you wouldn't do that Laurel and so does Lavy.

It could have been a system glitch.

I could also make a recommendation - you might want to double check what permissions your moderators do have - its possible that one of them might accidently have been given more permissions than they have a right to have.

You'd then also have a pretty good idea who did it.

I'm also not sure exactly how much information you're storing in your server logs or how easy it is to access it but if its set up to do so - and I understand it most likely more effort than its worth - but if it is set up to do so you might actually be able to check the logs to see if that post was indeed edited (and mabye even by whom).

For those who jump on this - there is a VERY good chance that the logs are not set up to record this information - its just a possibility.

Er. Hello?
Look to the bottom right of your post. See where it says "IP logged". Your IP address is unique to you. You can log out, post as a guest and you can still be traced.

When I read it last night, it said "young woman."

 

[seXieleXie]

lavy, i'm doing research right now on false memory and this sort of thing rings of a false memory situation. it's not uncommon, i'm not calling you a liar or anything of the sort. often false memories are as strong or stronger than true ones. if you read little girl elsewhere it is likely you transposed the memory to this other post.

now, if you'd be so kind, i need to disect your brain for research purposes

I don't really wish to get in the middle of this "whatever it is" between two established posters, but this is ridiculous at the very least.

This site is about FREE SPEECH, or at least it was last I read at the top of the page(s). Same goes for the statement below.

I believe that I've read here at this very board that unless it is a death threat or something else that's VERY serious, then nothings liable to happen to you, for stating your opinion. This includes the IP's being logged "Sixth".

[Mischka]

We are mortal enemies and get highly offended if either one of us reminds anyone of the other!

You guys should work on becoming immortal enemies. Give it a Greek Goddess flavor.

Woo. A reply. A response. A retort. At me!
I certainly don't see admin doing anything about the IP addresses so I wouldn't worry.

This site is about free speach. People just perk up and wonder why when others resort to anonymous postings. If you don't have the conviction to put your name to it then I don't really care to read it.

The only thing that is ever edited out by administrators on this board is if someone posts someone else's personal information without permission.

That's it.

Free speech is the order of the day around here.

Most everyone here agrees that not putting your name on a post is cowardly in situations like the ones that attacked lavy recently. There are sometimes good reasons for not putting a name on a post - and that is one of the reasons unregistered exists - someone might wish to post a legitimate question about something that they truly need information on or help with yet are embarrassed, unwilling, to do so under their regular nickname.

Funny, because unless I'm blind you DID respond. So which is it? you read them, or you don't read them? Don't be too flattered because I responded to your post, I'd have done it to anyones post.

Oh and *bratcat*, no offense meant, but I don't see where they were saying you two are the same person.

Ack. Oh no. I didn't say I wouldn't respond, fall for the bait or rise to the challenge. I suggest said I didn't care to read it.

But. Enough. Let us stop. The might and intelligence of your replies are too strong and too great for me. I have no opinion but to beat a retreat unless I crumble under your superior opinions and sense of self.

The Emperor of the Seven Isles would flee with me.
