anonrerising | Damnit, Arcanist

ngl, once I upload something to TH I never go back and delete it because I tend to hoard art. But those are ones I've been meaning to go back and get rid of.

"I've been meaning to go back and get rid of."

Let me fix that statement for you: "I never intended to get rid of these pieces of art but since people are actually realizing that they're traced and can prove it, I can't pretend anymore like I didn't know they were traced."

Much more accurate.

You mean a reference?? Like, sorry not sorry I used a reference of a frog. How tf would you trace on watercolor paper?

A lot matches up pretty 1:1, such as the space between the eyes and the curve of the leaf. Images from a monitor still show up pretty well through watercolor paper when you hold them against the screen.

Not really? The watercolor paper I use is thick af and there's no way that my dinky computer screen would shine through.

While I appreciate salt as much as the next person, I'm screening this comment and addressing Dakk directly:

You have PII on your portfolio. I highly suggest you change/omit it before someone abuses it.

Sadly, that's my business page so I can't really do that.

I will screen any doxxing attempts, but I have made my effort to let you know, so if you don't protect yourself, the onus is on you.

If it happens it happens. I don't have any of my employment listed anywhere except for my own photography business.

dude come on theres some serious PII on there. (wont say exactly where)

be more careful then that! Theres some seriously fucked up people on the internet!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If someone doxxes me and something happens, I'm bringing this blog down with me.

Not really.

I contacted DW when Ado was doxxed, and this was the reply:

So. Take this seriously. I've already said I will screen any doxxing attempts, but there's only so much I can do on my end. Cover your own ass on your end, because screening comments is where my responsibility ends.

Text for anyone who needs it:

"Hi there!

Once a comment is deleted, it's removed from the site entirely and we no longer have access to any information about it. However, even if a comment hasn't been deleted, we have extremely limited information about it, particularly if it was made in a journal or community without IP logging enabled. Most people who leave this sort of comment also use a VPN service, so even if IP logging was enabled at the time a comment was made, sadly there is often very little that anyone (even us) can do to determine who left it.

This sort of thing is, unfortunately, a common issue in anonymous discussion communities, especially those that are dedicated to gossip about others or to documenting the behavior of specific individuals, and it's why those sorts of communities need to be heavily modded with as much coverage as possible to react to comments that violate the Terms of Service and the community rules as quickly as possible. You're already using the reporting system we recommend -- a dedicated thread or post for people to alert you to comments that violate the Terms of Service -- but you may also want to consider having multiple admins who all receive notifications when someone reports a comment and can take action on it. (The way we recommend doing this is adding multiple admins of the community; don't share the password to a single admin account with multiple people.) Adding multiple admins can be a risk, because every admin of a community has equal rights to delete comments, change community settings, delete the community, and/or remove other admins of the community, so you should only add admins you trust to not abuse the control over the community that an admin has; however, having multiple admins who are all able to handle reports of comments that violate the Terms of Service can allow you to make sure that it's more likely someone will be available to handle a violating comment more quickly.

Ultimately, however, running an anonymous discussion community does involve attracting a number of individuals who are inclined to go further in discussing someone's actions than the community rules or the Terms of Service allow, and we are very limited in what we can do to prevent someone from anonymously accessing the site or from leaving anonymous comments in a specific community. The prevalence of VPNs and other forms of connection masking makes it difficult if not impossible to proactively handle people who are not inclined to follow the rules.

If you have ongoing problems with people who are disinclined to follow the rules, we recommend that you enable comment IP logging and leave it enabled, enable the setting that requires all comments to the community to solve a captcha in order to comment, and -- at times of particularly high-volume issues -- enable comment screening for all comments so that you need to review a comment and make it visible before anyone but admins can see it. This won't stop particularly determined bad actors, but it will at least minimize the damage.

Best,
Denise "

For transparency, so there's no question it was in response to my request.

I run an anonymous community, and a commenter doxxed someone.

I deleted the comment, so I don't know if you still have it in your logs/system.

*link* (This was the original link to the comment.)

It contained the name, address, phone number, school, even the parents of the person they doxxed.

I'm unsure what to do, or if there is anything staff can provide- I'm in contact with the person who was doxxed and they're building a report.

Honest truth, I think he wants to get this community banned and is doxxing himself to do it.

If he thinks that'll happen, he's mistaken.

Staff can't do anything about it, as my support ticket response stated.

I've given him plenty of warning to change/remove his PII. I've also stated I will screen what I can, but that's all I can do.

He can't delete comments here, so the record will clearly show he did nothing to protect himself, and that's not my fault.

I can't fix stupid.

"not really" is the most baller response to "im bringing you down with me"

Wow.

What a piece of shit.

You're literally saying:

Yes. I know that there is PII on a portfolio that I publicly link on Flightrising and that I POSTED MYSELF ON ANONRERISING.

No. I will not remove it even after it being pointed out.

Yes! I will pretend like me getting doxed is ACTUALLY the fault of this blog! And not me! :)

Go fuck yourself you pathetic piece of shit.

So, has anyone reported the links on FR containing PII to FR staff? They nuked a scavenger hunt and raffle for that kind of thing. If it's linked in his profile, surely that's breaking rules.

For what it is worth, it took me about six (6) clicks from your FR profile to some disturbing amounts of your PII first try, blind. I got to it just by looking up your username on FR, I didn't need a direct link to it on a drama site.

doxxing isn't even illegal, good luck with that

It is in some places, such as where I live.
But at the sametime we cannot be held responsible for stupid.

If we catch doxxing happening we delete the post, we can't do more than that.

sa

when i got doxxed, i found out you can only do something about it if both parties live in a jurisdiction where it's illegal (which at the time was only california).

that said, despite everything, i don't think it's "stupid" for dakkokki to leave their business/professional website up when they're not in control of people linking it in the doc and other places. i would have a harder time finding clients and lose money if i nuked my own website. it doesn't look like dakkokki's website provides a huge source of income but still, i don't see why leaving it up is stupid on their part.
