A few months ago a post was made along these lines, politely asking that the use of personal Social Media pictures against the will of said person is not allowed on 1FF. Since then there has been a quite a few instances involving what some would consider to be 'sensitive information' culminating this week, in 3 seperate incidents whereby images were taken from a members social media, people were stalked on various forms of Social Media and in one incident, somebody found another members mobile number and started ringing/harassing them at strange hours of the night.
As a result, 2 members have been banned.
Now before anyone accuses 1FF of things being too formal, or too harsh. I/We totally understand that most of the time it's harmless banter, a laugh, a joke, everything's taken too seriously etc - the posting of GIF's really doesn't bother me at all, afterall if you don't want to be found on the internet, why have social media?
However, you have to understand that not everyone goes by the standards/thought process and in all of this, we just want to ensure that 1FF is painted in the best light and is as enjoyable as it can be for ALL members.
As of this evening;
*No sharing of ANY personal information on the website (names, mobile numbers, IP addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, locations) anywhere on the website, other than via PM should a member consent in sharing this information.
*ANY GIF/image/picture or link to ANY Members private information/social media will result in a non-warned complete permanent ban from the website and an IP block/deleted account, to ensure that any return will be from scratch and require a new IP address.
*Any 'perceived' cyber bullying or racial/homophobic/ableist discrimination made towards ANY member, will also result in the above.
Unfortunately, 1 member felt strongly enough about the above issues and safety of their social media/identity, to inform the Police of a situation that they obviously felt strongly enough about. For these reasons and these reasons alone, there will be a no-tolerance towards any of the above, to ensure that this is made crystal clear, there will be a site wide PM sent to every member on 1FF.
Sorry if this seems harsh/over the top, however, as admin we have the websites best interests in mind.
Thanks.
Admin.
