Define the word 'private' in the rules

When you're someone like yourself who goes above and beyond to interrogate people for no specific reason, I kind of feel like you have no real leg to stand on to be honest.

Whilst skimming the thread whilst falling asleep I understand you're meanings somewhat behind things such as privacy, you also contribute to it by harming people's privacy and trying to involve yourself there - no support.

 

If it's not listed on Sythe it's private, period. No matter if it can be obtained from other public ways, if it's not listed on Sythe it's private. The rules state even if it's publically available you can still get in trouble for it. So if you don't have permission to post it from the owner, don't do it. I really don't see what the confusion is about. It's pretty clear.

 

But there needs to be a limit within that rule. Its effectively saying if you post a picture of Ice Poseidon then if you don't get his permission, you can post it.

 

The intent was anything that isn't willingly shared on Sythe is considered private even if it is public off site and I think this fits well into that. I'm not against changing that but I think there needs to be a better reason than one more thing that is public off Sythe that people don't want public on Sythe.

 

It may have been the intent but it doesn't physically make it clear. It has a bit of ambiguosity.

 

If it is not your information to share, do not share it. I figure that is about as clear we're going to get and if you must share someone else's information, ask them first, or see if they publicly shared it on Sythe.

Finding something publicly does not equivocate to it not being private. I have a public Facebook profile, that does not mean it is available for Sythe members to share. There is a difference between having a Skype and having a private Skype.

The "unlisted" aspect seems obvious to me. If something is private, it is not publicly listed on Sythe and cannot be found by going to their profile. With that, I hardly find the rules to be vague.

Lastly, I do not really like the idea of increasing the punishment and I think the bans themselves are already severe enough; once they come back to the forum, I do not think they should be prohibited from participating.

 

I think everyone else has explained that if it's not listed as on sythe everything else is private and not worthy of you caring about to post on the site.

It's the same for non-staff, if I have not invited you into the knowledge of the info or if you have not got any permission to post said info.. then don't do it.

If you happen to come across said info that does not seem to be on sythe, do not post about it.

One thing I wanted to question, if you're unsure as to whether something is private or not (some people seem to be confused) can you not just ask the staff member as to whether it is private? OR is that just bannable mentioning it too?

 

Nowhere in the rules does it say unlisted as I said. If you post your full name here on Sythe and people found it then yes it does give them permission to post the public Facebook account. Shin has posted his Skype names on certain threads. Does that mean people are allowed to share it around?

 

If a banned user is able to provide information to another user regarding information that is not listed on Sythe then how are people meant to know? Its not like everyone googles Skype names of certain users before they post it.

 

This is a ridiculous suggestion, no support. Just mind your own damn business and don't post anything that pertains the information of someone other than you.

 

You forgot to elaborate on the "mind your own damn business" part. That isn't in the rules.

 

Look up the term "loose constructionism".

 

Still don't understand.

 

Did you look up the term? What don't you understand about it?

 

one favoring a liberal construction of the Constitution of the U.S. to give broader powers to the federal government — compare elastic 4a, strict constructionist. The entire part.

 

Good job.

 

You still haven't explained what the fuck that means.

 

Self-explanatory, just like the word "private".

 

Not really. Private is not self-explanatory.

 

How is it not?
