No, you’ve made claims, but you have provided no actual evidence that the data exists to support them.

well that is a technicality that the members of the CS forums should be able to answer should Nelfas wish to inquire about the unlisting of this thread.
duplicated with the express permission and approval of CS, yes.
Um, seeing how the first 3 are 404, and this one is unlisted… you might want to check on that permission slip.

if i had to venture a guess regarding the reasoning for the unlisting of this thread, i imagine it did not pertain to the actual message or discussion of the topic by OP.
Seems to me that permission has been revoked

Just so you are aware… Vrak does NOT like being name dropped. Especially when he told you to knock it off. “You don’t want to meet the devil if you keep calling his name”

You haven’t posted any article. So, why don’t you link the actual article.
And before you say, “much more prestigious than claremont i’ve been told,”
This is an eSafty Commision report, posted by the Australian Government:
Despite its positive uses, anonymity and identity shielding can also spur on harmful behaviours and generate new forms of harm, particularly against at-risk individuals and communities.
Anonymity is one of several factors that have been highlighted by our own investigations as a tactic used by those who seek to harm or abuse others online. There are two main reasons for this.
Firstly, being anonymous can make perpetrators feel uninhibited by the usual social standards of behaviour. By hiding their real identity or using fake profiles they can act without the fear of being judged for their actions or punished.
Secondly, being able to hide their real identity allows individuals and crime syndicates to pretend to be someone else and use that as a way to exploit others.
- The ease with which anonymous, fake, imposter and impersonator accounts can be generated is a contributing factor to cyberbullying of children and adult cyber abuse, as reflected in a significant number of the complaints we receive through our reporting schemes.
- Most image-based abuse complaints to eSafety relate to anonymous accounts on social media platforms. Image-based abuse means sharing or threatening to share an intimate image or video without the consent of the person shown. It includes sexual extortion, when scammers demand money or more intimate images.
- Most investigations into child sexual abuse material involve individuals posting the content online anonymously. These investigations have shown that content contributors will go to great lengths to remain anonymous, often using one or more anonymising security measure to hide their identities.
- Sexual predators and scammers also commonly use anonymous, fake, imposter and impersonator accounts to lure victims and gain their trust. For example, a sexual predator may use an avatar in a game to pretend they are the same age and gender as a child so they can become a fake friend and groom them for sexual interaction, which is online child sexual abuse. In catfishing cases, scammers often create a fake profile and pretend to have a personal history and characteristics that are attractive to the victim, so they are more likely to engage online and not be suspicious while in the relationship.
- Some chatrooms and message board sites are specifically created for anonymous communication, allowing the fast and wide spread of conspiracy theories, discriminatory commentary and illegal and harmful materials, and even inciting acts of abuse, violence and terrorism.
- Interaction with an anonymous account online can be very distressing for victims who are targeted by abuse. The fear that the perpetrator can continue to target the victim using another anonymous or fake account adds to the harm. For victims, anonymity can create barriers to reporting. This is because perpetrators using imposter or fake accounts are not easily identifiable. These fake accounts can be quickly discarded and replaced with new anonymous accounts, making techniques such as blocking and muting ineffective.
It is very difficult for regulators and law enforcement to identify and prosecute individuals and crime syndicates using fake accounts. It also makes it almost impossible for social media services and other users to deal with abusers breaching the terms of service, through strategies such as blocking and suspension, as well as preventing, detecting and removing multiple accounts operated by one user.
While conflict, harassment and targeted abuse are social and cultural problems, the role that anonymity plays in facilitating antisocial and illegal behaviour has been a growing cause for concern. However, it is important to note that preventing or limiting anonymity and identity shielding online would not put a stop to all online abuse, and that online abuse and hate speech are not always committed by anonymous or fake account holders.
Nevertheless, more can be done to ensure anonymity is not used to allow harms to freely occur. Steps can be taken by social media platforms to verify accounts before users start to operate them, or take down accounts that violate the terms of service and prevent them from resurfacing.
A balance is needed, where the misuse of anonymity and identity shielding is restricted without removing any of the legitimate benefits.

here are the talking points i’ve posted, if you want to discuss them, i’d be happy to respond:
Post the Link.
Why can you not post the actual source of your so called information. If you can not post your actual sources, than it is all fake, and irrelevant.

In otherwords, you can not post the actual source. Which means, your source is TrustMeBro, and not official.

I honestly don’t even know why anyone is bothering to try with Doobly. We all know by this point that their only purpose is to argue in circles just to spin people up.

Nelfas, nobody knows why the topic is unlisted. It isn’t something here anyone can confirm. You could ask about it in Customer Support, and see if they are able to help you, but accusing others of bringing the topic down isn’t going to help. If you feel someone post does violate the Forum Code of Conduct, click on the little blue flag at the bottom right of the person’s post, and report them.
Sorry for the edit, but I’m just going to put this up:
While the account wide ignore thread exist, all you’re doing is making the problem worse if all you’re doing is going around accusing people of such behaviour.
As Vrak has said to you:
Vrak message was clearly straight to the point: Making accusations and stuff isn’t useful to any discussion, which is why it lead to now you leading to this decision of making your thread closed. It is alright to participate in any discussion, doesn’t matter if it is this sort of topic or another sort of topic, but the accusations is something in which all the moderation is trying to get everyone out off, and to add, this isn’t just limited to you, but everyone who uses the forums.
If you feel someone is violating the Forum Code of Conduct, report it. Moderation will not take action against you for making that decision, except if switching between alts to flag the same post over and over. AKA Mass flagging. If someone is bothering you or is trolling outright, report then, ignore them, and just don’t engage. We’re all here oblige to doing the same thing too. Because not only with doing the right thing, it means we can also make it easier for Vrak, for Orylia, in fact, making it easier for every single member of the Forum Moderation team. They are humans after all, and they have a lot of work to do in helping the community and keeping the forums clean.
Sorry Vrak for editing after the thread is closed. But I hope, Nelfas, this information does help you into knowing what to do in the future.
