[Approved]Rule Reform v2

[Superfluous]

I support not doxing as a general rule on Sythe. However, I like our stance of sharing pertinent information that could help prevent scams and also think people should suffer repercussions for their actions. In short, if a user has scammed, I think it is our responsibility to let users know and help them avoid preventable scams in the future.

So I'm not sure I support your suggestion as originally worded, but I absolutely support the sentiment. I think I would prefer a world where doxing is punished harshly but staff (and only staff) are allowed to post personal information of users who are known to have scammed (and all users are allowed to share this information strictly with staff). We could even restrict this further, requiring admin approval before personal information of users is shared to help prevent future scams.

As a side note, I also think @Wortel's post on page 1 is important. The type of information most users see as "dox-level" (names, emails, etc.) is almost always publicly available and left behind by the offending users themselves. I can't recall a time when staff has obtained personal information that wasn't publicly available and shared it publicly. Relatedly, I feel that anyone sharing this type of information should be punished harshly.

 

Why would we reform rules if they mean nothing at all? No support because there's no point of updating stuff that doesnt work anyways, eg freshly added rule about misleading advertisements and I still see people with 10% of my vouches calling themselves the most trustworthy.

If tommorow someone managed to dox Chris Kane, no one would bat an eyelid. On the flipside, if a victim tried to dox a user who was down on his luck and scammed once etc., the existing rules already call for the victim to be banned.

Lets stop trying to quantify and put everything on a bloody piece of paper.

Let the admins and mods decide who should or shouldnt be dealt with appropriately ie. The existing rules. Quit complaining.

Moving forward, only staff will be permitted to post someone's information. If you have information to provide on a perm-banned scammer you can send this to any staff member and then at our discretion we will decide which information will be shared publicly or not. Temp-banned scammers or perm-banned users with no debts will not have their information shared, this is only for the very extreme cases
