Can't find a proper introduction thread or subforum but here goes nothing. First of all, Hi, long time forumer, mostly from Comic Book rumbles and Naruto Forums but I've been an off and on user/lurker of SB since 2005. The uhh..descent of that site into insanity, hysteria and madness prompted me to come here and check it out.
Any way, moving beyond that, I've been heaped on and slandered and maligned the same way many of you are and it'll be interesting to see how this civil and intelligent discussion thing goes.
One thing concerns me..it seems like your TOS implies you believe you have the legal right to slander, defame and IP plunder users carte blanche..and that merely joining this site robs us of the right to defend ourselves in court should we feel your actions merit that. Say, if you decided to call someone a Nazi, dox them and then attempt to swat or get them fired or evicted using personal info you believe pertains to me taken from this site...That you'd be well within your rights to do so and would be immune from any legal repercussions.
I do not understand this, as it seems to fly in the face of both the spirit of the laws enacted to prevent LLC's from being battered by frivolous lawsuits but also the spirit of your very own mission statement.
I'd like some clarification on that..as its rather, disturbing in it's implications.
I ask this because I've had to deal with renegade members of the staff of another website colluding with users in an attempt to completely destroy my personal life, which did go as far as a dox and then beyond into an outright attempt on my life and while I don't think that'll happen here since none of you seem like maniacs.
It was a little confounding.
Any way, thank you gents and nice set up.
