Announcement An Open Letter to DPF
I can't believe that there is such things going on away from the forums. Internet bullying is horrible something that I myself have endured and the repercussions of that made for some nasty things to happen to me which I wouldn't want anybody else to ever feel.
C'mon guys and girlies it's not right
Well said!
I am so sorry that you were a victim of internet bullying. I hope that it has stopped and that you were able to rise above.
It's really disappointing that people need to be told to act like civilized adults.
My best advice to any and everyone is to never, ever read that garbage. Do you really care what gutless, wimpy losers say about you while hiding behind a curtain? Respect yourselves and just stay away.
While it's fine to lose sight of entire posts from ignored people, I don't want to lose being able to see an entire thread just because an ignored person posted in it. Seems a bit extreme.Well said.
on another note, you can always make use of the ignore feature.
I'm actually currently working on making it even better where you won't even see any ignored posts/threads at all if they are on your IL.
but will DPF hold them responsible?
No, but that's ok because it is a true testament to what a collective group of people, with a common goal, can accomplish. If we, as a group, were able to take down those 2 humiliating, hateful and harassing pages: than we can accomplish anything when we work together!
Both pages have been taken downIn case you were unaware, there were not 1, not 2, but 3 "Confessions" pages. One of which was removed by the creator while the other 2 remained active. After countless reports were made by many...many...many people, including myself, the 2 remaining pages were finally shut down as of yesterday. I would like to address that Elysions' comments strike a very valid argument; I have been made aware of 4 out of the 5 admins from that main page and ALL are prolonged members here who have gathered ammunition to attack others there. They should most definitely be held accountable for their actions, as Facebook even temporarily banned their personal accounts, but will DPF hold them responsible?

That being said, a report was just sent this morning about a fellow DPF member that continually messages me and my partner to harass and attack us on here. DPF is not immune to these types of hateful actions and hopefully appropriate measures are taken to address said individual.

Let me reiterate this point since it seems to have gone by the wayside: DPF Staff have no authority outside of DPF. We are responsible for our little corner of the internet and that is it, no more and no less. We have/had no more influence over the way that particular Facebook page (or pages) than anyone else here does/did.Both pages have been taken downIn case you were unaware, there were not 1, not 2, but 3 "Confessions" pages.

That being said, the requests for DPF Staff to hold members who make vicious, hurtful posts on other sites accountable here on DPF because they're also DPF members just isn't viable or reasonable. It's the equivalent of asking to prosecute Mickey Mouse in California for crimes he committed in Florida. Mickey has residences in both states, but the offenses were committed in Florida; the State of California has no jurisdiction to prosecute. We (being DPF Staff) can't hold anyone accountable for anything that happens off of DPF.
I understand the example you are giving and what you mean. It makes total sense that you can't hold people responsible for what they do all over the internet.
That said, there is still a qustion to be asked: Is DPF (as a CA resident) giving shelter and ammunition to Mickey Mouse (a FL offender)?
