| Yup..
We log Nicknames added/deleted so the message can be traced back to the original account and in turn can trace back to the IP used. |

I was wondering the same thing lately. I am glad we have the freedom to say or type most anything we want at the pork. People need to be held responsible for their actions at times. The whole hidden name thing can be taken to far.
I do think there has to be a limit so the place does not become a hate zone.
Thank you for asking this randa. |
| | | | | I am very glad to hear this Cradz..
and I am personally asking every single person being harrassed in this fashion to please forward these anon attacks to security from now on.
I agree pw...it is one thing to have your say...it is another to take cowardly punches at people and not allow people the chance to defend themselves against such cowardly potshots.

| | | | | cradz,
how are these situations handled? particularly when the harassment extends beyond the board or pager and filters into the room. *s*princess

| Firstly, as we all know, in chat we have many friends and sadly we get the opposite from time to time.
Should you receive a pager from within the Pork with unwanted intentions of harassment:
You have the option of permanently clicking to ignore the sending chatter. This will block all pager messages incoming from the perpetrator.
Keeping in mind, the severity of the content, I would suggest that you either "save as" in a folder -or- capture a screen shot of the full message, to send in to Pork Security, along with your complaint.
Pork Security
This is done so we may have an irrefutable (impossible to deny or disprove) means of proof to the harassment/threats.
As Cradz aforementioned, we do keep records of all information within the Pork. We do this for a purpose such as this issue.
If you have any further questions concerning this topic, please feel free to contact me at above email addy.
Thanks~
