Title: A Cautionary Tale About What You Post on Forums
Post by: markn on May 25, 2013, 04:08:57 PM
Everyone here is very well behaved so this isn't actually that relevant.  But for anyone who thinks what they post on forums renders them invulnerable to consequences in real life should read this:

Hope I don't get sued for saying this but you could buy a lot of coins for the price of one of those procedures.

All smells a bit fishy.. I wonder who they hired to nose around, and how he managed to sniff out the addresses? ;)

In November the surgeon's lawyers' hired a forensic computer scientist who discovered seven forum members shared the same address, which was linked to Doncaster East resident Craig Rodda

do forensic computer scientists  advertise in the yellow pages?

Robbiegal, I reckon this scientist found the address of Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy and Sneezy, no need for forensics there .... I'm sure they were the good guys!

Type in computer forensics into yellowpages.com.au.

good grief!!!
I did

sorry, didn't realise that is such a  business
I just thought that police use it to catch bad guys like paedophiles

I am more used to mental health forensics or pathology forensics
I live in another universe (ha ha)

In some forums I've been in persons will register with multiple names and post using different media such as wi-fi and mobile (changing the ip)  in order to 'talk' with themselves, sometimes on both sides of an issue.  They're eventually caught because they can't keep up the different personae indefinitely and out themselves to people who know them by their phrasing and other habits.-John

We've had someone on here trying that.  He's done it on multiple other forums too (including the old ACBO forum).  For all we know he's back in here now.

serious??
some people just gotta get a life

I guess that if a person has a point that they wish to persist at it might be good, or to promote an item or seller

yeah, I guess I can see why that might be done

We've caught one guy who had multiple accounts and in one of them he was pretending to be a woman, he had an elaborate back story involving a daughter and an ex-husband.  Of course it all came unstuck one day when he forgot what account he was posting from and the back-story fell to bits.  Very strange.

DTV Forum here in Oz. is famous for multiple accounts to the same person,they have to have an alert brain to make sure which account they are posting too and often get caught out before they can delete.One of the tell-tale signs is a post that is mostly garbage and a then a conga line of posters line up to agree.
