Unethical Behaviors Online

I really hate to have to do another post so soon about the goldmonkey forum. But I just could not ignore this opportunity to show people what can happen during the course of forum wars.

Blogs such as this one may pop up on the internet. People post on various forums or blogs about the gripes they have with other forums or their posters.

Now one can chose to do this the right way or the wrong way, IMO.

It seems that the goldmonkey forum has added a sitemeter to their site. That is fine in most cases. I have one here just to see how much traffic I get. The intent of the goldmonkey forum however was not the same. They wanted to be able to see who comes there to read so that they could publicly post the ips of the visitors. Then, they go on to say who they think that visitor is. Oh that visitor lives in Timbuck 2, so it must be so and so. In my opinion that is as bad as giving out a real life name or location of a poster. Not too cool eh?

One thing I will promise here, and that is no real life names of posters will ever be found on this blog. No real life locations or ips of anyone will ever be found on this blog.

Why? Because it just is not the right thing to do.

Just sayin. It is unethical. IMO of course.

Blogs Of Note Part 3

There have been some blogs developed to discuss the "falling out" of different forums or it's members.
I found an interesting blog called scribblemuse.com.
.
It seems that this blog author was a member of websleuths truecrime forum. She also joined justicequest forum. From what I can gather these two forums she joined are at odds with one another. It seems that she got caught up in the middle of some forum wars. It seems that she has been banned now from justicequest, and thus has started her own site.

Correction: She has had her site before joining the two aforementioned sites.

.

( thanks Lisha! )
.
Reading her site just goes to show that forum wars are going strong out there in cyberland.

Read her interesting writeup of her experiences here:

Busted Part 4

In this day and age of the Internet, there are so many articles and photos posted across the world wide web. Some people protect their articles and or photos by copyright etc. Nothing wrong with that. But when you steal another website's articles then try to copyright them as your own, something is very wrong there!

.

There is a group of disgruntled former monkeys. They made a website called chatandgrumble. They steal articles and photographs from all over the internet, and copyright these articles and photos as "CNG Research". They think as long as they call it research that gives them the legal right to do so. Wrong! Not only is it wrong, it is disrespectful, shame on these sheeple!

.

A recent example of such behaviour was posted at the scaredmonkeys site by klaasend, the administrator. Johan, you are so busted!! This is not your property no matter how much you try to make it so! I have to sit here and just laugh at these losers.

.

Original article as posted on the front page of scaredmonkeys:

Then you have Johan's new copyrighted (LMAO) version:
Johan or as some call him Johan555.....You are BUSTED!
Stop taking other people's stuff and calling it your own. ROFLMAO!

All of the photos and the explanation of what happened as stated above can be found at scaredmonkeys at this link: http://scaredmonkeys.net/index.php?topic=4924.1040

Stop back soon for more!

Can't We All Just Get along?

Can't We All Just Get Along?

.

Internet and all get along = oxymoron. Especially at a forum such as goldmonkey where there is no administration. Yes, you read right. From what I have heard, no one is in charge over there. Carnut built the place, but he wants no duties in keeping everyone in line. So he just tells everyone that it is their forum.

This is why many members have left over there.

.

Btgirl started a thread at goldmonkey.org with a poll in it. She wanted members to vote on whether or not to continue on with forum wars .

.

Along comes Sam, who says "This will be my last post here for awhile. NO ONE asked anyone to be involved in a forum war.Any post you made were made of your own free will. Please do not think you can take away my free will by doing a poll.".

.

I would give you all a link to this exchange, but alas, the thread is gone or has been moved.

From what I have heard, this is what Btgirl does when she starts something and someone objects to it, LMAO.

Internet forum wars, you gotta love them!

Stop back soon!

Crazy Internet Posters

I have seen some crazy people post on Internet Forums and Message boards. Most people there are ok and just concerned.

However some really strange and or crazy people come out of the woodwork. I am not saying all posters are crazy, but there certainly are a few who are.

One such poster is "Destiny". Somehow, this woman thinks she is the appointed one. She calls people in Aruba on the telephone about the Natalee Holloway case. She also called the bounty hunter Leonard Padilla asking questions about the Caylee Anthony case. Now she is claiming to have called Fred Golba who just did a search in Aruba for Dave Holloway.

This woman is out of her mind, LOL. Why is she calling all these people?

.

Can you even begin to imagine being on the other end of a telephone when she calls?

They must laugh like hell. Then they make fun of her when they hang up. Can't you just hear this woman, "Hello, I am some crazy woman from the internet who wants to know all of your business."

.

This is the same poster who got caught in lies before, and was Busted right here on this very blog! see link:

http://internetforumwars.blogspot.com/2009/04/you-are-busted.html

.

This is the same person who gets *feelings* about crime cases. I say the only things she hears are those little voices in her head, and the only *feelings* she gets are hot flashes.

.

This poster Destiny just makes it to easy doesn't she.

Ringy dingy, what a dingy she is!

Stop back soon!
