The rules clearly state:
Beef will not be tolerated in any forum. Differences in opinion are expected, but please debate respectfully.
No posting of another member’s personal information without their consent. This includes, but is not limited to; real names, email addresses, telephone numbers, PMs, private IM conversations, IM screen names and home addresses. It does not matter if the member has posted this information themselves in the past. Member’s personal unseen photos are also not allowed to be posted without permission.
If your posts lower the average IQ level of the board, you will be banned. Example: Free posting, lame repetitive jokes, bickering, constant obscenity, immature vendettas, general annoying immaturity, failure to contribute to a community feel, private Messenger like conversations etc.
Why doesn't this apply to Dante? The general consensus on the board is that Dante's antagonistic and derogatory attitude toward Mark Deez was unarguably hilarious - which I'll happily concur with. However, humour aside, this was an ample example of internet bullying. He went out of his way to copy and paste personal IM conversations without his permission (which is clearly against the rules), acquire Deez's personal photos, photoshop them as a means to humiliate him..and because of the manipulated photos he was thus subjected to copious insults. I definitely won't deny that it was funny, but the thread made specifically to bully Deez was left open, and absolutely no warning, caution, or even a "please, stop" was administered to Dante..?
Where is the fairness here? Do the rules not apply to him? I don't understand the inconsistent degree of tolerance the admins/mods accept on this forum. For instance, I post up a harmless gag "i witnessed a murder today", and although some found it funny and some didn't (which is perfectly acceptable..), I was threatened with a ban by Pittsey? For what, making a joke? Yet when one member repeatedly bullies another fellow member for shits and giggles no one throws him any caution? That's fucking bullshit. I'd like to also point out Diaz exposing that dude who apparantely had an internet relationship with a fellow board member as a perfect example of the strange inconsistencies in tolerance this board accepts. Because that thread was perceived as unfunny, and apparently in "bad taste", it is closed. However, Dante's relentless humiliation of Deez persists. How the fuck can bullying like this happen and no punishment is given? When the fuck did the board become so damned elitist that one member isn't subject to the same forms of punishment and is granted some form of fucking amnesty?
This is supposed to be a "community" for fucks sake, and the poor dude was subject to such a barrage of insults that he left the forum. Who the fuck is Dante to manipulate someone's photos, post conversations just for shits and giggles?
