Title: How to contact Administrators? Post by: ShimalH on June 24, 2014, 04:30:17 PM Hello all
I've just been made aware that a user here on Bitcointalk is trying to frame me and has made death threats against me. Somehow this user has found out all my personal details and is posting it everywhere on the BitcoinTalk forums. This has put my life in danger, who do I contact about this? The administrators (is there an e-mail or something), moderators, authorities? I need this to be addressed urgently as this is my life that is being threatened. Any help is appreciated. Regards, ShimalH Title: Re: How to contact Administrators?

Theymos has already stated in multiple times in multiple threads that he is not going to release any user's IP without a Court's subpoena. Even mods dont have access to IP information, most probably not even the global mods. On request, Theymos may only check if 2 users are from the same IP. Title: Re: How to contact Administrators?

Removing personal information is a pointless reduction in freedom. If someone found your personal information to post it, then anyone can find it (probably very easily). You should report the threat to police. They won't do anything about it, but the record of the threat will be helpful in court in case someone does attack you and either you or attacker gets injured.

Thanks for replying theymos.

As I can see, all your personal information is available in the whois history of c***gam.net. Most likely gorilla got it from there... and as u r in High School... I would suggest u to report it to your parents. Title: Re: How to contact Administrators?

IIRC, PG received threat PMs and did report to the authority, and it seems nothing happens afterwards. :) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=634309.msg7082277#msg7082277 Title: Re: How to contact Administrators? Post by: BadBear on June 25, 2014, 06:03:48 AM As I said in that thread, and theymos said here, you don't report it so the police will do anything, you report it so you have a documented history in case something does happen, to either you or the aggressor.
Yes, but the police are probably less likely to do anything about it. I've had some experience with this, you don't report this kind of stuff so the police will do anything about it, you report so you can establish a history in case something does happen. If you are ever involved in an incident, and need to defend yourself in court, or in an investigation, being able to produce a history that's already on the record is invaluable to be able to show that you did fear injury or death.

Does this policy not apply when the dox is yours? Title: Re: How to contact Administrators? Post by: Jamie_Boulder on July 02, 2014, 01:13:28 PM The way I see it is you have 2 options:
1. Erase your digital footprint and start again. 2. Live with it and move on Title: Re: How to contact Administrators? Post by: Sydboy on July 02, 2014, 01:22:49 PM the admin here has never once bothered to reply to any of my requests for help.

I'm willing to bet you're being ignored as your question has been answered quite a few times and that being, they do not remove personal info. ~BCX~ |
