Could you please list all of the posters here who you don't particularly care for so that I can start posting their personal information & attempt to ruin any business holdings they may have.

Edited. See below.
It's kinda their fault for posting here while having a business. If they couldnt forsee something like that are they really the kind of people that will survive in the business world? If anything they should thank the info sharers for preventing all the time they would waste flopping around in the water.
Even a list of those who were mean to you would be helpful.
TIA.
By the time I got to these threads, the info was already out there. It happened that all of this blew up on the one day I wasn't actively reading PFA.
If Hut wants, I will do my best to remove those references, but I felt it was pretty much closing the barn door after the horse escaped at that point.
Truthfully, it was super easy to locate the business given that Marty mentioned Lompoc and posted a few of the place's 1-star reviews.
So even if I removed the business name, I would also have to remove all references to Lompoc and the bad reviews in order to keep it a secret at this point.
I just came up with a new phrase that I hope catches on and sums up my feelings more succinctly... "The world needs ditch diggers too."
The last time I had this gut feeling that my phrase would catch on was a couple years ago when I said, "All you need is a chip and a chair."
Or for Larry all you need is a chip and three chairs.
Maybe I'll just wait until you're offline then you'll be able to say something stupid about a horse & a barn.
Personal info is either okay or it's not. There should be no grey area.
This place is gonna be a real shit show when Druff decides to legalize murder.
Each situation is unique.
No, I don't allow personal info to be posted here, but by the time I showed up, there was already a major thread about Hut, his pizza place, the story of Marty working there, meth cooking stains in the bathtub, parking lot sleeping, soggy dough, Lompoc, and tons of other stuff which would have been nearly impossible to contain unless I shut down basically the whole thread.
But as I said, if Hut wishes for me to start redacting some of this info, I will, including retroactively.
just make sure you do it when druff is travelling or away from the board for a few, and post enough that it would seem silly/time-consuming to delete it at that point.
this place literally has no hard and fast rules, and suffers all the time because of it.
how about you do it because its the right thing to do, and its supposed to be a hard and fast rule?
Sometimes "hard rules" fail the common sense test in certain situations. Other times they would be very unpopular.
For example, I have also repeatedly stated that I don't want to see junk threads posted here, and yet the board was filled with like 12 different Bonomo threads the other day, and then a bunch of copycat shit about Bobby Heenan, Larry, and other subjects.
The board was a fucking mess.
I finally deleted/merged some of them, but if I was adhering to my own rules, I would have banned or restricted about 15 people.
To delete/lock the Hut/Marty thread before it ran its course would have only served to let Marty off the hook easily, and wouldn't have done Hut any favors. Everyone knew where his pizza place was by then.
Only on poker fraud alert dot con can a guy come on and try to humiliate another member and suddenly he's the victim. Even kilgore trout is like what the fuck.
What should I have done here?
I showed up in the middle of a heated argument between two longtime former friends. The one in the right was the one who brought the situation out here (understandably), and the one in the wrong then responded with details which could easily be added up to figure out Hut's business.
Had I seen the OP, I would have redacted that info and told Marty he couldn't post it, but I showed up several pages in, when it seemed everyone already knew the info. At that point there were tons of other posts from third parties making reference to the info they learned.
What could I have possibly done at that point, short of shutting down the entire conversation?
At least I recognized the exact instant Tyde put the full court press on...
Druff do you ever wish u established a dupe good enough to be the only other mod... so u could nap it out in mosquito ER while he made the controversial decisions? Wouldn't that be easier than this bull shit?
Druff can you give pipsqueak her Kilgore back? It's lame when a chick uses a male screen name.
You run a forum with no mods and you aren't always around. you refuse to pick up a mod, and now you refuse to enforce what used to be the only real, hard and fast rule, that people can't post public info of others that the other party didn't first make public themselves.
maybe don't unban marty when you aren't going to be around, for starters?
maybe have the people who broke the rules remove those references, or get banned? maybe do it yourself?
I mean, I could be wrong, but I didn't even see a warning about any of that shit.
in general, not enforcing a rule (again, the only real rule) because it got violated too many times and might be a pain for you to clean up, that's just not good forum-owning, IMO.
Just because you didn't get there right away is no reason to not enforce it after the fact. I know you run this place alone, but fuck man, that's on you, too.
Hockey Guy and Crowe both make some good points but ultimately I have to side with Todge on this one. Reason being it was Hut who made the original thread calling Marty out and he did this knowing what Marty knew about him and how Marty would react so he basically outed himself.
That's not to say Hut did anything wrong he made a choice and given how long he was owed I dont think it was a rushed decision. I am sure he knew when he made the thread calling Marty out that he would be on the receiving end of some good old fashioned MS word lockdown and that consequences will never be the same.
You're kidding right?
You shut down the posters posting privileges even if it's only for a couple hours, clean up the personal info without anybody asking you to do so.
I'm sorry that you're out of pocket to run this forum & this isn't a fun or glamorous aspect of it but it needs to be done if you say "no personal info" otherwise just allow personal info & stop with the bullshit.
Crowe, I usually like the way you work it. No Diddly. But I envision a site way too dedicated to protecting the slut shamer if retaliation isn't allowed in these instances.
Also afaik Hut hasn't objected to Marty posting his pic and if you asked him he would likely say he knew Marty was going to be posting it. He even mentions in his first post that Marty had threatened to post the pic of him sleeping at his desk and thats why he took the one of Marty sleeping in his car, which he then posted.
yes, lets all leave places we enjoy but think could be better instead of reasonably asking for things to change, and trying to help improve the place. good idea. i'll ponder that later.
I getcha, and I understand, but when druff says shit like 'I would have deleted it if I saw it right away, but I didn;t so fuck it, it stays', he deserves to be roasted for it.
again, its like the only rule this place has/had, and druff's letting it slide. that's a bad decision.
that said, its viritually impossible to fuck up more than marty did in this situation
