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

[FlyingNarwhal]

It reminds me of the NSA agents who were looking into hot girls on the excuse that they might be terrorists or are involved in terrorists activity to be honest.

Yeah I gotta agree this whole things is reminiscent of the whole NSA thing in general, I couldn't stop thinking that the entire time. Especially what Jacob quoted from PMs:

You haven't really broken any rules nor caused any disruption (except recently because of what I revealed to you) ... so, we don't plan to take any action against you yet.

I don't actually think that there is any need to investigate you anymore; I've satisfied my own curiosity also. However, that doesn't mean that wer're never going to perform any investigations of you at all. Whatever investigation we do, know that it's going to be for the purpose of the running of this forum, not to disparage you because of the things you said in a different forum.

And of course the most NSA one of them all:

I investigated so that I may be able to obtain external evidence to verify my suspicions of you, and to keep those information for future use in case you start crossing the line in this forum as well

Just replace 'forum' with 'country' on that last one.



That being said I understand that so far we have mainly only heard one side to the story, and I am open to hearing the other side. Also as others have mentioned, people make mistakes. Obviously what Rayaan did was wrong, but I don't think he should burn at the stake. He made a mistake though, it happens from time to time. What else can you do but learn from them and move on?

I'm just glad I gave this forum the same email I use to subscribe to porn.
