"Announcement: I have the highest of clearances here and can tell you with all honesty I do not have access to others PMs. This is the first I have heard of this plug in and can promise that no one here will try such a hack. There is only two others with the clearance level I have and that is Lawrence Wollersheim, the owner and one other who is our top tech who remains anonymous for safety's sake and I can tell you that they also would have no reason or want to view posters PMs and would never do such a thing.Post Location
So please rest easy and be confident that your PMs will remain just that...Private.
With all sincerity, Capt Frank Furillo"
The above was in response to this information:
"Superadmins can read private messages" which is a plugin program for Vbulletin subscribers (such as FactNet) that allows Admins to read PM's between users.
Side Note: I had forgotten about this, so it is possible Dodge/Josh125 in conjunction with "theadmin" who has the "highest of clearances" read my PM's where I showed Shadowcat how Stage Director stalked, oops, sorry, "tracked" my IP to a company I've never worked for, read the PMs and got that info.
So FactNet users are now expected to merely trust that "theadmin" "Capt. Furillo" you know, the guy who apologized for appointing an atheist board troll who had insulted everyone who was a Christian on the Christians boards, as moderator, lied about him being removed, and gave him another alias to use to try and hide the fact no change of moderator was ever made.
Here's what probably really happened:
First check this comment about the guys with the "highest level of clearance" (e.g. what the hell does he think it is, the CIA?):
"There is only two others with the clearance level I have and that is Lawrence Wollersheim, the owner and one other who is our top tech who remains anonymous for safety's sake..."
(Smyrna: Hey Admin, why not just give your top tech a fake name, you're good at that, how about Josh3?)
Well, if you're following along, you read about how morally upstanding FactNet's administrators may be, if we want to believe what the author of FactNet Exposed wrote in his blog of 2007. Common sense would say if the original folks aren't there, then those who replaced them probably are from the same labor pool.
And even without that little bit of info, we still have absolute proof 'theadmin' lied and so having lied once, who's to say he wouldn't be lying again?
Therefore, it's very possible the scenario played out like this:
TheAdmin: "Hey (unnamed "top tech") did you know there's a plugin we can get from VBulletin that would allows us to read the users PM's? Let's download that, ok?
Unnamed "Top Tech": (maybe he's unnamed because he's one of those people we read about on the FactNet Exposed blog) "Yeah, good idea. After all, we can harvest info that may be of use to us."
(like intimidating users who are banned and writing blogs critical of them, such as your real name, place of employment, etc. )
For current users of FactNet's discussion boards:
Don't use their PM system. Copy your current messages if you think you have sensitive info in them to your own computer files, in case they may be used against you in the future. You never know, and at least you can prove where the info came from if they do use it against you .
"So please rest easy and be confident that your PMs will remain just that...Private."
Smyrna, the only thing you’ve established is that you’ve gone over the edge in your personal animosity. All because the moderator at FACTnet wouldn’t allow you to continue your abusive ad hominem towards other members of the forum; because you don’t know how to communicate in any other way. So, in your insanity, you’re now dedicating your life to attacking Lawrence Wollersheim and the staff at FACTnet forum to the point of becoming completely obsessed. If I were amongst the circle of your family and friends, I would suggest crisis intervention. You need help.
ReplyDeleteNone of your ad hominem will affect me. That's all it is, troll. It seems to me you brought all the attention you're getting on yourself. No amount of bullshit will take away from the crap you and Furillo pulled. Trying to distract from that is some cheap trick that isn't going to work.
ReplyDelete'Abusive ad hominem' didn't cause Furillo to appoint you moderator. It didn't cause him to render a phony apology and then give you an alias to hide behind. And I didn't need for you to ban me, after all if it isn't there, just make it up, or in the case of you bating Shadowcat, troll your way into inciting anger and when they lash at you, then ban them.
Factnet's lack of moderation for the first five years I was there was what created the environment that allowed both faction, SCers as well as detractors, to hurl insults at each other. Anyone can see what archives can be accessed and see that to be a fact. And anyone who does that will see your spin for what it is.
You are a champion more at dishing out ad hominem than detecting it. Plus, this article isn't about me,it's about a very real possibility you idiots were reading PMs once you learned you could with a simple plug-in. Funny how you don't want to talk about that, especially when it has been proven right here you aren't beyond trying to intimidate people using personal info you got either from reading the PMs for from that fellow troll Stage Director.
