Of course not. Unless that person screwed someone badly.

The obvious answer is no..never..and under no circumstance is it ok to post up peoples personal deets..I don't care what reasons/excuses are used to try and justify doing so, it's still wrong. Doing such a thing reminds me of scener behavior towards P2P..complete and utter bullshit that accomplishes absolutely nothing in the end. My advice to people who post personal deets (sceners or P2Pers)...GROW UP! And get a life asap. Lifes' too short for bullshit like this...it gets you nowhere and makes you look like a complete ass when it's all said and done. I've been in P2P since 2001 and I have yet to see this type behavior to serve any 'real' benefit to anyone no matter what their (self) justification may be. FFS...wake up! /rant

I see what you're saying but I do have a reason for the poll, it's another way for the idiots who do this type of thing to see how wrong they are in a general way. Why wouldn't people answer honestly?? Now we see that the number of no votes does not match the number of explanations so some people are out there just messing with the results.

PS: i dont think its ok to do it, but i understand, there doesnt seam to be another way to freighten someone..

LOL, well maybe this is an available weapon but it would be the Nuke and we don't use nukes anymore because of the ramifications of it all. If a country were to use one today the rest of teh world would be in an outrage no?

These people are in fact trying to frighten others and bully them into what they think is right this is unacceptable to me and it should be to all of you as well. People who do this should be shunned from the BT community as they are the biggest security risk around far worse than any super trader or anything.

Yes, sometimes people cross the line i can give you tons of examples of people i would be glad to reveal their true details.

So would I vic I would LOVE to post some peoples details. Still I would never actually go through with it though. This is what separates us from animals

I wonder how many people who voted No would change their mind if the personal details were those of a paedophile. I bet the poll would have totally the reverse results.

That said, in my opinion, no, personal details should never be published without permission, no matter who the individual is, including criminals, terrorists, and paedos.

You are right about the animals, but some people need to be destroyed. ( or at least their online personality ).

No. Should never be published without permission

I voted no but I voted no because I presumed this was linked to bittorrent community not the whole population as a whole. and yes you bet your sweet what ever :) that if I knew of an active pedofile or criminal (minus bittorrenting stuff) I would report them.

Phedophiles are people that sexually abuse kids, please don't mix one with the other, doesn't make any sense. People that sexually abuse kids,m they should be hang.

What was the basis of this question being asked?

LOL don't start you know the reason for the thread well.

Whoops! I just found out actually! I've been without Internet for the last week and am now trying to catch up! It was really a serious question at the time.

So yes, I do know now...My bad!

My answer is "no" btw...

LOL no internet for a WEEK!!! You poor soul.

My answer is No. Besides the fact that it's immature and lowlifish, it's also dangerous to post someone's personal info just because you had a "Who is the smartest battle" or "Who looks cooler infront of their friends" battle with that person.

I think only the lowest of the low would resort to this tactic to get back at someone.

They must not violate my privates.

i know your reason for the poll Detale...

the issue is about control, and though my position remains to be somewhat neutral here.. the same thoughts can be applied to another topic as well. the topic here is privacy.. I know that many are not gonna see the relation here nor the ones who do will agree.. but, the same theory can be applied to tracker privacy.. granted personal information can be more damaging.. but, to a degree its applicable ... privacy is still privacy .. on the internetz.. information is power.. i liked your analogy of the nuke, the knowledge of having it makes people nervous... using it is a decision of conscience... in the end though it's a matter of ethics and respect... if you get no respect then ethics will be tossed out the window..

i guess i missed what was posted.


What info was given out?



I have released info but only email and ip's of cheaters and big time assholes on the site. But giving out real names and all that i would say should be a off limits.


But again what kind of info was posted?

Real name, Google map of address, how many members in the family, some late bills to be paid etc. How much of it was correct I don't know, but just the thought of experienced staff doing such things makes me want to disassociate me from them as much as possible.

no. never ok. you wouldn't want someone to do it to you, so why do it to someone else?

Never oke!

here comes the christian!


but I agree, only not in the way you're saying it :)

It's never okay to be revealing other's personal info as BitTorrent in the FST community is considered to be piracy and if he/she lives in a stringent country then something might just happen.

Who knows?

Of course its OK if you hate the person - it would be the right thing to do

I'm yearn to your reactions shalafi :D ....

in any case , it's prohibited to use and post personal info ...:rolleyes:

except: if this info help to kick out "problematic person" :shifty: ...
And of course that the information will arrive to the staff only.....and not in publicly

Anyone who thinks that it's an acceptable thing is simply an idiot.
