From Cal -- Help us stop posting abuses

I've banned a poster today for continually (after being warned) revealing information about other anonymous posters -- activity that is intimidating and that violates our conditions of use.

We encourage robust debate and conversation on this site, but I draw the line at posters revealing things like IP addresses, physical addresses and otherwise private information about other posters.

Any poster who practices such abuse should be reported to me via my email (editor@thecitizen.com) or here on the site by commenting and blogging.

We monitor the site periodically and will act when such information about an abusive poster is brought to our attention.

This is a privately owned site, and there are rules. Break the rules and the offender will be banned.

Those who attempt to subvert the rules by signing up under another name are trespassing.

Read our FAQ and heed this alert.

I don't remember someone revealing what someone's IP was!

The only Internet address that I remember being revealed was the Citizen's! It is readily available.

You ask for help and I take that to mean that I should not do what the person who was banned did!

I'm not sure what you ask me to do.

...banned, I think, because he revealed River's name/address/personal webpage, and even mentioned his wife or daughter's name. His post was intimidating and revealed too much about another blogger. I think that's what happened.

Cal wants us to let him know if others do this in the future.
