Privacy concerns from [split] AF Hall of Shame (Post Edition)

[Jacob(smooth)]

When I signed up to AF I used my email address. From which you got my name. Then linked with what I told you about my job to find out some other stuff about me and found me on other forums.

Yeah, but that was only the first step.

To me this seems not cool.

Why, does that make you feel more insecure or something? Are you worried for some reason?

I'm unamused by this rayaan. Really I am. Sorry but using mod priviledges to look me up for your own amusement, seems wrong to me.

Its not a matter of being "more insecure", its a matter of decency. You sent me, by PM, a link to a photo of my family. You said you've been watching my youtube vids. Was this for any reason other than your own amusement?

Well, the privacy policy of our forums can be found here. It's no secret that we on the staff have access to the IPs of the members.

EDIT: Oh, the discussion continued while I was posting. Never mind me..

Indeed. I read it. And quoted from it. IP addresses is one thing. For forum functionality, to prevent sock puppets etc, no problem there.

Using the information given to look up other stuff for "lulz" is not.

Look at this way. Rayaan and I have enjoyed (or at least I have) debating on this forum many times. Now he tells me he has read what I have written on at least two other forums, watched vids on my youtube channel and even sent me by pm a link to a picture of me and my family, just so I know he has seen it. This introduces a somewhat unlevel element to any debates don't you think?
