Regardless, it’s definitely something that should not be done.

G-Man

Hadn’t really thought of including all of that in the forum rules before. Thanks.

I make it clear in my forum TOS that if you engage in behaviors we define as unwanted, all bets are off regarding your privacy. We’ll call the police (and have), publish your IP, and publish your name and address if we can track them down, if we feel your transgression was serious enough.

When there have been actual events like the woman who met another in a dog breeding forum, then visited her, killed her and removed her 8 month old fetus to keep as her own, it’s clear that these threats can’t just be ignored. I also think it’s incumbent on owners of social sites (MySpace, you listening?) to watch over their flock to take all reasonable efforts to red flag and act on those members who appear they may have the potential for causing harm to others.

I think everyone who has influence over any website that can disseminate information has a moral responsibility to ensure that no malicious acts result. This is horrendous and I hope Kathy will pick up some power from all the thousands of people who care for her and what she does.
