damn bro got banned now?

There's too much autistic semantics ITT over the literal meaning of doxxing. Obviously some people did work to surface and expose Bodhy's real identity. Call it whatever you want.

Now, the real question is - did Bodhy deserve it? That's where the line can be more difficult to draw. I've probably read 5 of his posts ever so I have no idea, to me personally he always seemed okay.

The line would need to be extremely high for me though to warrant consciously exposing someone and potentially messing with their life. They'd have to be doxxing others, promoting ****philia or something very significant with evidence to back it up.

Lol @ this thread, seeing the usual suspects, and the outcome

Mods are gay af nowadays

That gwg tryhard is next on the chopping list

The wall is starting to crumble for the no avi rep trading groomer crew

Pretty sure Anachron was their figurehead lol.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if he was three different posters trading reps with himself.

The dude could obsess like no other, that's for sure. He really put of a lot of time and effort into his presence here.

Nobody deserves to be doxxed, although if ever there was someone who should make most people not care: It's Bodhy.

On the doxxing: He did not expose his identity, only flirted with knowing it (which he does) and posting a picture of Bodhy from a Youtube video, where he partook in some Religious discussion. Now, the video *did* have his information but it was also quickly removed by the channel.

The question is: Was it removed before or after Anachron posted the link to the channel?

Bodhy was hard at work yesterday scrubbing away his identity in light of him knowing one person, well actually two, know who he really is. Anachron did take delight in mentioning what some of those were - but not by naming names, just saying more cryptic things like, "he just took down his Academia.org page" or things like that.

So, really: It mostly boils down to him posting the picture of who Bodhy actually is, full face reveal, did not have permission (obviously) and such.

I can certainly see why he was banned over that, it is an invasion of Bodhy's privacy - but at the same time, I'm not certain it fully qualifies for "doxxing" as it's just the face of a random balding fat guy in his late 30s and you can't really link Bodhy's real identity to it. You can't reverse lookup the image, they were cropped screenshots of the Youtube video which no longer exists on Youtube.

I am biased, I strongly dislike Bodhy. I have no qualms with Anachron but I think I can put my biases aside when I say: you don't doxx anyone, you shouldn't put up their pictures w/out their consent. I do think a ban of some kind is warranted, I can not say that a perm is in order, though.

GWG is a good guy for sure though. I saw the extent to what he did, which was embarrassing for Bodhy but only linking him to another anonymous account online (reddit). No doxxing from that.

Bodhy completely aside, I'm pretty sure I could create a hypothetical where you'd agree uncovering someone's identity is ethically okay. Just a thought experiment, try it yourself.

In 99% of cases or more, you're right.I don't really care, I'm not sure why the literal obsession over the qualification for "doxxing". Although, as you say, posting up his face reasonably warrants a temporary ban.

Pretty obvious OP is a **** smearing, tranny pegging alt at this point. Imagine a grown man caring this much about what other grown men doing online. Screams bitch boy who never completed his PhD and is very angry for getting called out for being a huge racist.

Meanwhile your ******* e-friends scour reddit tryna dig up dirt on some random ass miscer.. I don't hear you talking smack about them

Lmao take a seat geek

Good point, I suppose if someone were a known criminal or something, doxxing might be for the greater good. And, as suspect as some of the things Bodhy expouses are, while he might flirt with the notion of being a serial killing cannibalistic autist, nothing suggests he has done any serious crimes (aside from shoplifting and assault, which suck but nothing like being into CP or something)

Am I coming off as obsessed? I mean, it's kind of entertaining, but the second I log out here, I'm leaving all this here and done with it. I misc to pass time and to laugh for the most part. I also do think it's an interesting conversation: analyzing what Anachron did and quantifying what it was.

All probably irrelevant, because at the end of the day whether you or I define if as doxxing or not, it's not like we have any influence over what the mods have done here. Just, we're talking about it.

My stance: I don't think it was doxxing, but I do think it was an invasion of Bodhy's privacy. Agree, disagree, no skin off my teeth either way.

Nobody deserves to be doxxed, period. We have spoken before, and you know that I did nothing to promote Bodhy's doxxing.

Having said that, I wonder why some cases of doxxing on this forum are taken so seriously, whereas others are not taken seriously at all. I won't go into details here, but some posters make very detailed efforts to try to doxx people, and it's something I personally condemn.

On what happened here - it reads as if Bodhy exposed himself too much with the information he shared, and that was used to show who he is. I'm not quite sure that this is "doxxing", but I'm also not a fan of invasions of privacy.

Especially when the Misc is fundamentally meant to be a locker room type discussion. At least, I thought so. Among posters that lift. *shrug*

you've to agree to a definition in order to have a discussion. otherwise it's just baseless going back and forward. doxxing means dif things to us all apparantly when it's pretty clear what it is. if we are talking past eachother due to definitions how will we ever come to a conclusion

Incorrect, you do not need to align on the definition of doxxing in order to debate whether exposing his pic, college etc. is okay.

well clearly do because he thought it's not doxxing some of us did so there's a disconnect from the get go. if we all work based on 1 definition it's easier to discuss a topic

is a pic of your face personal information? it does provide information regarding your personal appearance

that isnt the point though. whether people share their real views or troll annonymously as a charecter doxxing can lead to real life reprocusions in this woke world. having a bunch of woke robots like reddits' main page isnt exactly the best internet has to offer but that's where we are heading. in gaming people SWAT or send sht to your house. now the poor worker is out of money for what reason. this doxxing sht effects more than just a persons' ego based on their looks

It can pretty easily be used to track down more information if someone was motivated enough

I think in most cases people don't care much but someone like Bodhy makes enemies and then antagonize them constantly. It was only a matter of time for him

It clearly isn’t when 200+ posts have been spent on the defintion. Just discuss the specific actions.

that's why it got no where. if we cant agree to what colour the sky is today because you think blue is something other than what i think it is then we'll never realise wether the person is being a disigenious troll (which we all know he is regardless) or are wether our definitions are not the same so we are arguing 2 different points. if the sky is brown to me and blue to you we both see eachothers as retards but only becasue our definitions dont align

All those dudes who harass him are in their 40's as well lol

If I was 45, spending my Fridays alone ****posting endlessly on some retarded bodybuilding forum tryna surface up info about another user, I'd rope imminently

It’s only not allowed if someone says “no detectives SRS”

Otherwise, if you don’t block out someone’s face, it’s game over

OP is not always a pha-got, but in this case, he is.

using pictures and links in the in public domain is not doxing.

OK, to play devils advocate, If I found your ******** profile and re-posted your pics which were exclusively posted there, would you say that's fair game?

Y know, given its a public domain and all..

Agree.

Any kind of detectiving should be a perm ban.

And while Bodhy may be weird, the group that has become hyper obsessed with him have become far more weird and fukin cringe.

Bodhy is an odd ball,but all those losers who stalk him are unhinged weirdos
