Err umm, Some of my um CLIENTS need to know if their Palm Pre will record visits to their prostitutes.
Ahem... please answer this question before 4pm this afternoon, if possible.

Since when did Slashdot turn into Autoadmit?

180.
cynical much ? try http://autoadmit.com/main.php?forum_id=2

naw it's not even creative, it's a ripoff: http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=222961&mc=6&forum_id=2#3387236

I had to dig up a some links just because Wired was too vague for my liking...

Past /. coverage.

AutoAdmit's forum notification of pending lawsuit.

The amount of racist, sexist, homosexual talk is astounding. Not to mention that most female players are the brunt of about 80% of deragatory comments in most raiding guilds.

It's all in fun and jest of course, and (most) you know full well what your getting into when you join a guild that is like this.

I spend 1 minute looking at that retarded http://autoadmit.com/ forum and if you honestly could say that you don't expect to find hateful offensive remarks, either stereotypical or personal, well then.. you should have left the house more.

In case anyone's curious, I found one of the threads in question. Whoever started it really had an axe to grind.

Plaintiffs can't issue a subpoena without the court's permission since discovery hasn't began. That's the whole nature of the motion for expedited discovery.

Why not? We post disparaging remarks about Gates, Ballmer, the RIAA, or whoever we feel like it. Sure, it's a way to express our opinions without having to leave our parents' basement, but what's to say that some of these posts don't have any merit? I looked at the site, and a lot of it is just racist, sexist, whatever-ist crap. If spoken in public, it's probably slander.

For one of the women (I'm not sure if she's one of the plaintiffs or someone else), they apparently posted the Facebook and Flickr pictures, Facebook profile, and other crap about a girl. They also follow girls around, taking pictures of them to post online. I don't know what was said about other women or people of other ethnicities, but I'm sick of reading those threads.

What about a law school that took those trolls seriously? And after the person owned up to the bad joke, AutoAdmit told the FBI the identity of the person. Apparently someone posted some comment 2 days after the Virginia Tech shooting, and someone at UC Hastings shut down the school for the day. I'm from SF, though I actually didn't hear about it at the time. The guy edited his comment soon after, yet someone copied and pasted it, and maybe called the school or something (Here's the original thread - I don't feel like linking to their site again: www.xoxohth.com/thread.php?thread_id=616215&mc=80& forum_id=2#7959514 ). So, essentially, someone posted some threat online and a school was closed. I don't know why they were happy to assist the FBI regarding that case, yet they're hiding behind a shield of "free speech" in this one.

The unnamed bullying "Cork Ireland Professor" in the Wall Street Journal article must regret using ReputationDefender, who succeeded in having him named as Professor Ivan Perry at http://www.geocities.com/stuartdneilson/Reputation DefenderInc.htm http://bulliedacademics.blogspot.com/2007/01/reput ation-defender-to-consider-bullied.html http://bulliedacademics.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_ar chive.htmlhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/81398> http://www.iol.ie/~stuartneilson/bullying/ http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=6377 57&mc=4&forum_id=2

That is impressive results for a few dollars.
