Title: Serious question about scam accusation board (Need admin, if possible)
Post by: marlboroza on August 11, 2018, 11:09:33 PM
Lately some forum members exposed many (initial coin offering) scams with fake team members, fake whitepapers, stolen content from other sites etc, and they included pictures and names(real and fake) as a part of their investigation.
This post made me wonder are we breaking forum rules with posting such things, pictures, names and so on (no matter most of them are fake):
Quote
I think I can publish any of my photos. But the publication of my photos without my permission is a violation of my rights.
We do not hide behind strangers, this is our photo.
And further - the project economy suffers because of these posts. This is direct harm. I suggest removing posts from the topic. I hope you understand that the project and its team are not scam.
Anyway, user behind that post has already posted pictures from vk.com of one of their team members http://archive.is/YvwmF#selection-1537.0-1537.16 and their picture and pictures of their team members are/were publicly available at their ICO site.
And also they posted links to their facebook and VK profiles....


My question is - is scam accusation board correct board to post these proofs and questions(talking in general) or all these proofs and questions should be posted in investigation board, and in scam accusation board - topic with link to investigation board?  :-\

It never clicked in my mind and I am sure others will have the same to say.

My thinking is the same like you...
Posting private information on the Scam Accusations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=83.0) board is not a correct practice. Create the scam accusation topic on the Scam Accusations board then redirect the post to another post on the Investigations board when you are ready to bring the personal information. The topic which is on the Investigations (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=227.0) board will only have the private data.

This way, anyone (even guest) can see the topic on scam accusation board but to see the detailed information they will need to register/login and also search engine can not pull the sensitive data.

Good finding OP.
