Well friends, I’ve had my fill of
this tom-foolery, so let’s get to
it.
Way back in January, when
r/serialpodcast became so
dreadful that no one could
stomach it, a series of private
subs emerged for people who
thought Adnan Syed just might
have been railroaded. Today, we
know them as:
r/serialdiscussion-public
r/TheBonnerParty-super
secret, not known
r/NarcoticsUnit-membership
only, but not secret
As we'd /u/ViewFromLL2
would have you believe, the
Bonner Party sub was just some
ho-hum, boring, Yahoo
discussion group. Turns out, it
was anything but. It became the
place for Susan Simpson to spill
information from the case files
handed over by /u/rabiasquared
. The purpose of spilling this
information to the members
could be summed up as free
research, much like
/u/EvidenceProf does in his
reddit posts. However, there was
a lot of doxxing going on in
Susan's posts, and the behavior

clear
account activity
that everyone has come to abhor
in /r/serialpodcast with "leaking"
case documents and doxxing
witnesses or people related to
the case became the norm in the
Bonner sub. Exhibit A will show
you some examples:
http://imgur.com/a/tPYDc
Oh my! Doxxing? Susan? She
wouldn't ask people to do this,
right? Surely she wouldn't
tolerate it? Welp, ya, she did.
And for some reason, she felt
that it was a good idea to share
case files and information with
people she didn't even know
outside of reddit. Like these
members:
http://imgur.com/b6ouf3n
All these people are on the up
and up, right?
Nope.
Turns out that there was a
member in Bonner, who was also
a member in NU, that started to
have some sneaking suspicions
about an infamous
shadowbanned user from
r/serialpodcast. Who remembers
/u/janecc , aka
/u/veganspicegirl , aka
/u/samdolgoff ? The initial
members of NU will remember
that she wasn't missing from
reddit for very long, thanks to
this fun admission:
http://imgur.com/a/cyHio
As I said before, a certain
Bonner, who I'll call Sir
Bonnerite, started becoming
uneasy with Jane's admissions
about socks and servers, and
started to wonder who else she
was masquerading as and why.
Sir Bonner started to wonder if
Jane was acting in some kind of
official capacity and sharing
information with the State of
Maryland. And as such, this
Bonner member reached out to
me and tipped his had a bit to
start asking me what I knew
about Jane, who had turned up
in NU as /u/theodoreadorno .
I had no idea that Jane was a
member anywhere but NU, so
the extent of his concern was
not evident to me. After a brief
exchange of messages, Sir
Bonnerite came back to me with
some disturbing information. Sir
Bonnerite alleged that someone
had done some static IP tracing,
and had tied together the same
static IP address for the following
users, with the date and time
that each account was created:
http://imgur.com/6Hx4zMu
That's quite a list, isn't it? So, Sir
Bonnerite, sent me this
information, and I become
worried, grossed out, and above
all, freaked out that a) someone
might be unhinged enough to be
20+ users and b) is capable of
tracking someone down to the
point of knowing their static IP
address. I started to wonder
who would behave this way, and
why. I wondered if any of it was
true. I started scouring the "bio"
posts in NU to see who claimed
to be what in order to start
connecting the dots to see if
there was any truth to this. And
then I started to wonder what I
should do with this information.
Well, I lost a lot of sleep over it. I
started small. I sent
/u/ViewFromLL2 a PM saying
to be careful what she shared in
the Bonner Sub because of a
rising suspicion about Jane. That
message wasn't well received by
Susan, and I began to wonder if
she already knew what Sir
Bonnerite had said. So then
what? Sir Bonnerite had
messaged me further, saying the
same static IP address had also
been linked to 16 Facebook
accounts, and I had only recently
learned that secret Facebook
group existed. I decided to take
the information I had to the
Mods and /r/NarcoticsUnit. I
didn't want to sound crazy or like
a nut, but there was constant
discussion that there were moles
in NU and that someone was
giving information to hardcore
guilters. So, even though I swore
secrecy to Sir Bonnerite, I
messaged /u/Frosted_Mini-
Wheats and poked around a
bit about Jane. I had no idea that
while this secret Bonner
investigation had been going on
that dear Jane, and her friend,
/u/Compulsivebooknerd had
begun an off-reddit smear
campaign against our mod and
friend, Frosted. Seems that while
someone was thinking that Jane
might be up to no-good on
reddit, she was proving that she
was up to no-good off of reddit,
with some kind of intention of
being a mean girl to FMW. All of
us that were chugging along in
NU didn't know some shady as
crap was happening behind the
scenes, but the Bonner Party
knew. The mods booted Jane,
Compulsive, and FMW, chalking it
up to girl drama. Meanwhile, Jane
decided to carry on with her Wiki
project while being a mean girl,
and finally, the NU mods had
enough of her and booted
/u/theodoreadorno and
/u/compulsivebooknerd from
NU. Harmony again, right?
Seems that things mellowed for a
while, and I sat on my
information from Sir Bonnerite,
even while the mole hunt went
on in NU. Rabia joined reddit
again, Krista joined reddit again,
and before we knew it, our fair
/u/EvidenceProf began testing
the waters of his MVA theory.
That's about the time that
/u/DeleteandDeplete showed
up. See, a former user,
/u/synchrolux came up with
the theory first, pm'd a select
few with the details, then
disappeared. For those of you
who don't know the MVA theory,
just ask EP/Deleteanddeplete.
There is serious evidence out
there that they are one in the
same.
Let's also talk about the NB/Jay
dustup on Facebook. Remember
all the begging and pleading that
/u/Rabiasquared did for a
screenshot of that posting? Our
former friend, u/inspiteofital ,
aka divinehammer, and a few
others, says that
/u/gingercoffee has it. But as
luck would have it, gingercoffee
just doesn't want to give it to
Rabia because??? My guess is
that inspite and ginger are the
same gal, but I don't know for
sure. Rabia, I'd get after
gingercoffee if I were you and get
to the bottom of it.
If you all want to keep drinking
Jane's koolaid, feel free but take
that screenshot of the sock list
with you so that you know which
one of her personalities you are
talking too. As far as the rest of
the finger-pointing goes, Jane's
sock sleuthing post today in TMP
is a glorious work of bullshit. Our
dear friends, /u/In_Theory
and /u/fallaciousconundrum
would love to know that they are
being fingered as
/u/Frosted_Mini-Wheats .
Considering that InTheory is a
real guy with real blog, it's pretty
hilarious, but I'll let him tell you
that he's not Frosted in his own
words.
Shame on all you for the
constant bullshittery and wild
speculation and finger-pointing.
You've all been taken for a ride
by Janecc, the Sybil of Reddit. I
hope she's had a lot of fun along
the way.
u/Alwaysbelagertha , I would
have told you sooner if you had
reached out but the level of
absurdity and non-accuracy in
the sock hunts made it clear to
me that anyone who dare
questioned the mods at TMP
would be banned, booted and
forever linked to socks. You
know I'm a real person, and you
know who I am in real life, so you
will have to decide who you
believe. I'll let you guys have fun
guessing which Bonnerite gave
me the IP trace results.
/u/Deleteanddeplete ...you
sorted by:
were right to be suspicious of
Jane in TMP.
As far as Frosted Mini-Wheats
being all the things she's been
accused of? Everyone who has
participated in that ought to be
ashamed. Turns out a few of us
are brave, and have shared our
real lives with each other. Those
of us who know who Frosted is
in real life and where she was this
summer know that the
accusations lobbed at her not
only ridiculous, but impossible.
Your witch hunt against her is
over, and some of you owe her a
big, fat apology.
You don't have to believe
anything you read here, but I'll
let you know that I'm not
posting this without some other
real, honest and credible reddit
friends backing me up. I'll let
them decide if they want to tag
themselves before I do it.
Doocurly
ETA:* If you are on the sock list
associated with Jane, sorry, this
post ain't for you to air your
grievances. Take it up in another
sub and tell the world who you
are.

I would assume to help the science be swallowed a lot
easier. The people claiming to have titles in the field have
some hitchy hitchy claims in regards to medicine. Also in
how they cite legal briefs in lieu of peer reviewed evidence
while failing to understand how one medical claim on stand
does not make a citable scientific source.
I watched so many questionable claims pass through as
verified, I eventually gave up pointing out the discrepancies.
But what do I know. I only work for a living, I don't have a

former, why bury her? And for either possibility, why go
through the trouble of fixing a car in a body shop if that

murder instead of accident)? Or are you thinking that this

Who knows why??? Who cares why? People delete
reddit handles and get knew ones all the time, for any
and every reason. I deleted my first handle after I'd
had it four years because I was worried about that
amount of info being out there, for instance.
Nothing you've presented or said so far is at all
indicative that EP and D&D are the same person. I'm
chastising myself for saying anything because it's all
so dumb, but you're literally doing exactly what
you've accused others of doing to FMW & other
users. This speculation about socks and bullshit is
just to distract from the actual case and advances
being made. I'm guilty for participating, I know, but

Do you reject the possibility that EP may have just seen D&D's

explore?
Aren't your accusations as bad, or whatever, as what you're
saying everyone did to FMW?
Also: why does it matter even if they are the same person? Are
either reddit handles going around disseminating other redditors'
personal info, doxxing people, whatever?
permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply
[–] doocurly Moddy McModerton [S] -1 points 1 day ago
You're right, there's no one saying that they have definitive
proof that EP and DD are one in the same. Until someone
does post that, it's speculation based on some other
information.
Does that make the accusation bad? Not necessarily.
Everyone is allowed to make other alt users on reddit as
long as they are following reddit's guidelines. What makes
it bad is when they are in fact the same person and are
talking and carrying on whole lines of dialogue with each
other. What makes it bad is when someone is flat out
accusing others of being "moles" or "spies" or having
duplicitous intentions. Do I think it's bad to hang the
laundry on the line to dry today? Nope. If someone has the
balls enough to create a post accusing everyone of being
socks, then pot, meet kettle.
Do you have to like it? Nope. You can feel however about

[–] tuppence_beresford Booted from TMP :( 23 points 1 day ago
I can at least speak to my experience as a mod on the very first day of TMP. Someone
thought the Jane information was important enough to warn the mods about, and
when I wanted to discuss the allegations and a solution going forward, I was overruled
by alwaysbelagertha and ultimately removed from mod duties for disagreeing. That
approach and attitude was extended to every portion of TMP over time, and long-time
contributors were removed left and right for speaking their minds. The sad part is that
no one could know what was going on unless the booted person went to another
forum to tell everyone what happened. Then they were labelled as pot-stirrers and the
mods would say, "Oh look, see? That person was a problem all along. We made the
right decision."
Sadly, there wasn't any other way to handle being removed other than remaining quiet.
Sound familiar? Does it sound like every other totalitarian dictatorship in history? Yeah,
to me too. Meanwhile, few still inside TMP wanted to speak up even if they didn't agree
with the way things were being handled for fear of being removed themselves.
It's been sad to see the poor leadership at TMP, and even worse to be removed from
the community I've been a part of for so many months for no good reason.
Thanks for bringing all this out into the open, doo. Maybe now we can have a real
conversation about it.

While I have moved on, this post reminds me of the time I was accused of being a
sock for Ghostoftomlandry or whatever. Zero proof, but I was accused just the
same. And when I went public to address it, I had the post removed and received

ETA: Following this post, I've been removed from TMP.
That's impossible. They don't ban people for that. I know this because
they've told us so at every opportunity.
Each day, fewer and fewer people are left over there to repeat the mantra of
"No, people don't get banned for that." And each day, there are more and
more people saying, "Actually, yes they do!"
At what point do we realize that the number of people coming forward citing
hypocrisy is outnumbering the people denying it?

I guess we have our response from the mods. What
did they do? Throw every name they had at the
admins and hoped something stuck? The number of
wrong accusations by them is truly astounding.
As the title of the post says, "shoot everyone and
assume you killed the one who wronged you."
If they're going to try to get people shadowbanned, it
makes it real hard for anyone to just walk away. It
sucks the very people who are trying to get away
from all of it right back into it. Classic TMP move. Drag
them back in, then ascribe motives of pettiness
afterwards.

It's been sad to see the poor leadership at TMP, and even worse to be
removed from the community I've been a part of for so many months for no
good reason.
Late to the party as per usual but I guess here is as good a place as any in this
thread to start.
FWIW and for anyone who cares to listen, Tup_Beresford's story is basically my
story also. I was removed from TMP and was told by /u/alwaysbelagertha that
it was because FrostedMiniWheats had "harassed her" on a thread in
SerialDiscussion and because I was a former NU Mod apparently that equalled a
"conflict of interest" (WTF?!) I asked her not to include me in her personal
drama's with other Redditors and then she told me my banning had also to do
with a snarky comment I supposedly made about her. I couldn't remember ever
saying anything snarky to her so I asked TMP friends to check my posting history
and they couldn't find a single thing. I asked ABL several times to remind me of
the "snarky comment" on TMP but she never produced anything because quite
frankly, it doesn't exist there.
No chance to pled my case. No acknowledgement of the help I offered and gave
when TMP was established. I'm also another one that warned ABL about the Sock
Situation which she obviously ignored. Yet apparently TMP's ongoing mole woes
have everything to do with other Redditors and nothing to do with her decision to
disregard the many warnings she received.
Being cut off from a community that I was part of and enjoyed for so long, for
want of a better word, sucks. It's both sad and hilarious that ABL can't see the
hypocrisy in her actions.
TL;DR - yet another person with a hurt butt.

You're welcome Tupp. My intention was to show that the mass-hysteria and
finger-pointing was not only wrong, but that all the warning signs right in front of
their faces was being missed. The contradictions in values was extraordinary with
the constant allegations of doxxing, but no real questioning the ethics if it was
done by someone on Team Good Guys. The constant allegations of sock puppetry
and heinous behavior was embarrassing, especially considering that more and
more socks kept sliding under the door at TMP. Show your proof, Magnets. Put

Have you read "When Prophecy Fails?" by Festinger? A group of social
psychologists infiltrate a doomsday cult and document what happens
when the prophesied apocalypse never happens. The book is great but
one of the major criticisms is that so many social psychologists
infiltrated the group that it was basically 50% researchers and 50%
real cult members.

Interesting response from segovius. While TMP might be full of socks,
what is and always has been wrong is that those socks are me or
anyone associated with me. It seems like a stroke of genius for ABL to
accuse me of being those socks (external threat creates internal
cohesion, yeah?) - creating a bond in TMP, whose members already
reviled me for "killing" NarcoticsUnit (which I never actually did, just
curated the membership a bit more thoughtfully). I don't think it was
ABL being a sociological genius but ABL being led around by the nose
by the true queen of socks.

Exactly, peymax. As much as some people don't like it - my

thread anyway, complaining about the Dark Sub that you
couldn't stay off of (because you like arguing?). What
exactly did you contribute to NU? You have access to the
entire database of everything that was ever posted on NU
(which was posted to a google drive with no password
protection and the url handed out on TMP like Halloween
candy, including to the alleged socks). NU was my idea, it
wasn't intellectual property of The Bonner Party, and when
I chose smart, productive redditors to go forward with you
weren't invited. Be butt-hurt or get over it. Makes no

No one was banned ever except for 2 users
and, if you were in NU,you know who those
folks were. You were uninvited along with a lot
of other people. I remember you posting
occasionally. I remember talking with you about
messages we got from the MVA theorist. I am
sorry if people's feelings are hurt because they
were uninvited. You all got a new sub with a
moderator that Susan Simpson chose. I gave
access to NU to a couple of former members so
they could get their posts. They managed to
get (and publish) everything that was ever
posted on NU. I don't expect nor am I asking
anyone to understand why ai did what I did.
What flummoxes me is why, 6 months later, is
it still a big fucking deal? I'm a bitch who only
wanted a couple of dozen people in my private
sub. You all got a new sub with a moderator
everyone loves and access to everything from
NU. What's the problem?
If you decided to create a private sub and only
include your best buds, you wouldn't invite me
would you? But you and others think you have
the right to rake me over the coals for deciding
who I want to reddit with.

Woah easy there, I'm not raking ANYONE

In terms of creating a private sub for you
and your friends, have at it. Who's
arguing that? But when it starts off as a
much broader effort, and suddenly you
decide to clean house and destroy the
whole thing over personal issues, don't
expect everyone who contributed to be
perfectly cool with it.
You say a few people were given access,
well good for THEM. Everyone else lost
every ounce of effort that went into that
sub - those posts are GONE, can't be
searched, no longer part of the record.
You basically forced everyone to start over
RATHER THAN just handing NU to
someone else within the group and
starting a new private sub.
I guess the problem is evident - you saw it
as YOUR sub, not OUR sub.

I had just begun to get comfortable

and actually post questions and
thoughts about the case there when
it was shut down without any
warning or communication. It would
have been nice to have gotten a fair
warning that the sub owner was
wanting to scale it down to only
those she had bonded with and
given the rest of us an opportunity
to ask about the possibility of
leaving the NU sub as it was and
creating a new one instead of just
kicking most of us out without
access to our posts or comments, or
to at least have time to do
something with our own posts to
save them. The archive TMP ended
up with is almost useless.

I think part of the issue was your lack of
ability to communicate or to communicate
without hostility. You also saw a private
community as something you owned
rather than a community and
collaboration. The reason people still care
all this time later is because you failed to
communicate what you did and why you
did it.
You mismanaged a community from the
get-go (inviting people you didn't want or
allowing others to do it) and now you
want to yell at people about it who did
nothing wrong except get invited and then
kicked out by you. Actions have

permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply
[–] LipidSoluble 9 points 14 hours ago
See, the thing is, the sub WAS shut down, and possibly
temporarily. While it was shut down, the mods of NU
communicated with the mods of TMP so that everyone
could be told what happened. TMP agreed to operate until
NU possibly came back up. This is all well and good. Lines
of communication were open, and FMW let people in to
grab their own posts.
Except that people started slinging shit, the entirety of
every post was copied down and reported in a public area,
people started raining hell down on FMW's head for trying
to weed out the socks (raining down on her head all while
reasonlessly banning hoards of people from TMP for being
suspected spies/socks), all while a small group of people in
NU dug through everything trying to figure out where it all
went wrong and get back on track.
FMW locking the sub was not the problem. Were the
participants of TMP sane, level-headed people, NU would
have been able to root out the original problem of jane
socks and reopen the doors.
The problem was the vitriol, paranoia, underhanded tactics,
rumor-mongering, and public sharing of private information
that happened afterward, all shots fired from the bow of
TMP. Were I FMW (and I'm not before the accuations of
sockpuppetry start flying in my direction), faced with such
childish behavior, I would have said "screw you" and kept
the sub shut down too.

Absolutely entitled to your own opinion, glibly. For a brief
moment, NU was actually shut down except for mods. Then
/u/whentheworldscollide and /u/readybrek reached
out to me, concerned about access to their own posts. I
said ok, come on in and get your posts. I hadn't really
thought about that but I should have. I was booted from
The Bonner Party because of bullshit drama and lost access
to my posts, like the one about Jay talking about Adnan
"acting like" he was carrying Hae's handbag, prancing
around and being silly, the one about whether Hae had an
active pager when she died, and the first comment ever,
anywhere about whether the detectives might have done a
data dump on some towers that might have led them to
Adnan and Jay. I had some empathy - sucks to lose your
own posts. What then happened was that someone gave
out their password and anyone who cared to could stroll
into NU and tab anything. Not a problem even then until
/u/lipidsoluble revealed the entirety of NU had been
copied to a Google drive with no password protection and
the URL handed out like Halloween candy on TMP. I posted
fucking private information there as did many others and
didn't appreciate it being shared with the world at large.

Yep, I do comment in discussions in TMP if I have a suspicion someone

discussion about socks. I also comment if I don't think someone is a sock
when it's theorized. As I'm sure people in other subs probably do in their
subs. I don't take any issue with people discussing or speculating who they
think might be socks on either side...and I don't take take issue with you
doing it either. What I think is disappointing is how you chose to do it. You
just dropped a bunch of accusations (that very well may be true, I have no
idea) in a public forum for anyone to see. If you were concerned that people
in TMP were being dupped by a single user, you could have brought those
concerns to the people there. But you didn't, you put them somewhere you
knew would cause even more drama between people. Which is fine, just be

Looking over this thread, I see that this question never actually got answered. So
I'll have a go at it.
Believe it or not, it's quite boring there. This has been discussed at length in
/r/serialdiscussion.
And one of the reasons for it being boring is that the overwhelming majority of
activity falls under the category of "Good job Undisclosed team, you really showed
them" or incessant whining about the Dark Sub. For a sub that claims not to care
what happens there, they sure spend a lot of time obsessing about it.
All the juicy gossip that you're hearing about is stuff that's going on behind the
scenes.
People get banned, and they make an announcement about it in TMP that is in no
way reflective of the real reasons for the banning (and has little bearing on reality
at all). But there's so much secrecy and misinformation, no one knows what the
real story is or what to believe. Without any insider knowledge, the only option is
to take the mod's word at face value.
People are talking about the case in a sub they don't control, and the TMP mods
feel that they have some kind of proprietary ownership of the other sub (yes,
they tried getting the Reddit admins to forcibly take ownership of a sub they
didn't control -- additionally, the mods made demands of the mods over at
/r/serialdiscussion). Apparently they want to control any and all conversation
about the case, whether or not the conversation is on their sub. But unless
you've got a source to give you access to the mod mail, this all goes on invisibly
(heads up TMP, the first thing the admins do is contact the mods of the sub
you're trying to take control of, you can't do it anonymously). Most people don't
even know they attempted such a coup.
How many more people have to come forward with stories? Every single person
has a different story to tell depending on how it affected them and what they
happen to know about. Are they trying to say those people are ALL lying?
So, in the end, everyone there knows there's a ton of issues below the surface,
and the mods have forced them to collectively ignore them. As such, meaningful
conversation is severely stifled. End result: a very boring sub with a boatload of
drama behind the scenes.

To be serious for a moment- at this point, with all the documents available,
with it sounds like more on their way, why is the TMP still relevant or

yes, they tried getting the Reddit admins to forcibly take ownership of a
sub they didn't control
Which sub is this? The main one?
permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply
[–] InTheory_ 6 points 15 hours ago
When NU was revived and repurposed.
There's a provision on Reddit that allows people to try to take control
of an abandoned sub. They tried to use that provision to weasel their
way into the sub.
If it was a harmless gesture to see if the sub was truly abandoned,
why not just message the mods and politely ask "Hey, are you guys
active over there?"
Instead, they cry to the admins that "the owner shut down the sub
without warning."
If it was a case of one mod acting stupidly, how come no apology was
made? How come ABL didn't come forward and say "Just to let you
know, this person did this without our knowledge, we do apologize
and would not like to see ill will develop"?
Needless to say, the Reddit admins decided that the creator of a sub
actually DOES own it. That's not up for negotiation or discussion.
That's just the way Reddit works. There is NO case to be made for the
feeling that NU was "our" sub. The creator flat out owns it, period.
Additionally, appealing to the admins isn't done confidentially. So after
it was done, the admins sent a message to the mods. So there's no
dispute that the events happened or what was really said.

What or why do you think they want to control what is said

[–] InTheory_ 8 points 12 hours ago
Your guess is as good as mine. I guess power gets to
people's heads.
I think a big part of it is the requirement for membership in
TMP is that your first loyalty must be to TMP. When they
got wind of people being critical of the bloggers, they've
shown their disloyalty and they banned people.
Now, that's not wrong. They can make that a requirement
if they want to. At times there is reason for such a
requirement (especially if there are secrets to be kept).
However, it's disturbingly close to validating the claims of
brainwashing.

I just want to thank you for your honesty and this
seems like as good a place as any. You and I had a
discussion on /r/serialdiscussion the last time this
stuff blew up and I found you very candid and well
meaning. I can't speak for everyone, (all us guilters)
but this is a fascinating look inside NU, TMP and
Bonner and answers a lot of questions for me as to
why some people act the way they do. I'm really glad
some of you (many of you maybe) decided to take a
stand against some of the more unsavory stuff,
particularly the doxxing stuff, that was going on. And
I feel badly that so many of you seem genuinely hurt
by your experience on NU or TMP.
For me, I feel like discussing this case has invaded my
personal life because it takes time away from other
things, more important things, whether that's time
with my family or reading a good book or doing that
laundry that needs to be done. And that's not good.
So if this case is leaking into people's personal lives
where it's causing anger or hurt feelings or obsession
or whatever, maybe we all need to step back and re-
evaluate. I mean, we're just a couple of hundred
(maybe) redditors and we really don't matter in the
whole sum of things. Some of us maybe take it a little
too seriously, idk...
Anyway, thanks for your honesty.

[–] MightyIsobel 9 points 10 hours ago
Was this somewhat expected? Or was
it completely new?
Speaking just for me.....
TMP's thought-policing mentality has been
spilling all over the conversations in SP for
months, so in some ways it is not
surprising to have former insiders confirm
that it was really happening behind the
scenes. Specifically, ideas like what people
said months/weeks/days ago shouldn't
matter; and that dissent and criticism is
"toxic".
However, I interpreted the groupthink
stuff as being a lot looser and more social
than the monitor-and-purge cycles y'all
are describing here. And perhaps there are
active TMPers who would still describe it as
basically friendly and opt-in. I'm surprised
by how rigid and formal the enforcement
seems to be.
Mostly, though, I am delighted to see
thoughtful well-informed perspectives in
the Serial conversation that feel "fresh" to
me. Not because y'all are truly newcomers,
but because we haven't had common
ground to meet each other in before.
I have been saying for months that the
"two sides" narrative is being promoted by
just a small faction of the Serial audience,
and I'm really glad to be able to point to
this thread and say -- See?

Actually, it's made me see the
FreeAdnanFolk in a much better light. I
thought there were about 20 very hostile,
unpleasant posters and I thought many
posters were making socks-but it turns
out it was only 1 person!
(I'm just going to ignore that
/u/ryokineko and /u/badgreta33
were on the list because they seem
reasonable and distinct from one another).
I was in NU, briefly, and what I liked about
it was that people were nice to each other;
no mysterious downvotes, people liked
each other, it wasn't scary to create a new
post.
Everybody is so team-based on the main
sub. Honestly, other parts of reddit are
not as hostile as serial podcast. I hope
that season 2 makes it fun again.

That is nice to see. It certainly helps to
see that you all don't have a hive mind,
which I think is what a lot of us guilters
believe, even though it defies common
sense really.
But for the most part none of this is
surprising and probably just confirms
what most already knew or believed, like
the doxxing stuff that goes on and the
secret sharing of docs and the loyalty
requirement. Some of the doxxing stuff is
a bit shocking to actually see evidence of,
because for me I think it's worse than
maybe I had imagined and I find it really
reprehensible and a bit scary. I'm glad
some of you do, too. And if I didn't
already have an abysmally low opinion of
Simpson, well, it just got lower.
What I've really seen from the infighting
stuff among you is that some of you seem
really hurt by it all, which I commented on
in my previous comment. The depth of
that is something I couldn't have
imagined.
The sock stuff, heh, we've known that for
a long time. I don't know who's who but
we all know it's happening so no big
surprise there. I can tell you that the
paranoia and mole stuff that goes on at
TMP isn't something us guilters experience
as a group. No paranoia at all on our side
of the fence.
Something else that's different imo is we
(guilters) are more a "of the people, by
the people" group dynamic whereas TMP
and Bonner in particular seem more like a
dictatorship. So that's been interesting to
be a fly on the wall for that.
But all in all, no real surprises, maybe a
little insight into specific users that I didn't
have previously, both good and bad.
And I'm not going to lie, it's been fun.

Believe me, we've tried. And I think
ultimately, that's the goal.
SWV and many of the others who I
have been publicly standing with
have had to put up with me
discussing my love of anime at
length despite none of them caring,
they've had to tolerate my musing
about what a real space fighter
would look like (turns out, the
physics of space are such that one
man space fighters won't be practical
at all), I've posted a ton of pictures
of my furniture restoration (which
they actually did care about ...
women, they gloss over the cool
stuff and opt for furniture
discussion).
Of the legal related stuff, they were
very curious as to my experiences
on the wrong end of the legal
system and encouraged me to blog
my experiences. This is stuff I never
get to talk about in the real world.
But it got to the point where it just
kept getting sidetracked with "Guys,
you gotta see whose sock you've
been named as this week." And the
sub suddenly reverts right back into
Syed-sub-drama.
Trust me, we eagerly look forward to
getting away from all this for our
mental health. We want to branch
out and have more people join us,
and we don't care what side of the
isle they're on. Unfortunately, up
until now, the 200 levels of
subterfuge wouldn't allow for that.
Everyone was scared of their own
shadow. Every time we thought
about inviting someone, we became
acutely conscious of all the stuff we
might have said that could be used
against us. So hopefully things end
here and we can all move along.
And if you want to know why there
will never be space fighters no
matter how far science advances, I
have pages and pages of rambling
geek-speak.

why is the TMP still relevant or necessary?
I participate there for a couple of reasons.
1. People are nice to me. To be fair, I don't catch that much shit on
the DS either. It's usually limited to sneering, but even that can
get exhausting.
2. While I am not much of a speculator and not at all a sleuth, I
think it is more ethical to keep that stuff at least somewhat
private. For example, while the MVA theory is silly, it was also not
public in all its details until now. So, until this moment, nobody
had publicly accused X of running over Hae (or whatever). So
whoever posted it here is the person who made the public
accusation, not the out-of-the-box thinkers who came up with it.
It's the difference between whispering gossip at the water cooler
and putting it on blast. Both can be bad, but one is more
damaging than the other.
Which sub is this? The main one?
Nah, I don't think so. I think NU. Because it was unilaterally shut
down, there was some effort I think (I was not involved) to see if it
could instead be transferred to a different mod.
ETA: I think the thought was more "Since FMW doesn't want it
anymore, can we have it?" than "Let's stage a coup against an active
sub!" I for one had no idea until just now that it still existed at all. I
thought she just shuttered the place.
permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply
[–] LipidSoluble 12 points 14 hours ago
No, what happened is that they copied all the posts and pasted
them on Google. Publicly. Where the entire world could search
them down.
After looking at the posts they copied and finding a shit-ton of
personal information about themselves that people posted under
the assumption that it would remain private, I locked down the
google account and changed the password, so it could not be
accessed.
At which point, the TMP mods tried to appeal to have Reddit
forcibly take NU from FMW's hands.

So you're the culprit! Good job for standing by your

The good news is that throughout this discussion, the
guilty side has had a chance to see that there are
reasonable people on the innocent side. We tried our
hardest to keep things at an appropriate level.
Throughout all of this, there were people who spoke out.
They suffered the consequences of it -- not simply
banning, but being demonized afterwards in a deliberate
smear campaign. Those people are finally getting their
props for doing the right thing.

Not protecting the google file was a fuck up. I never
bothered to look at it; I didn't produce any content I (or
anyone else) cared about.
But, from what I can remember, wasn't the genesis of it
users wanting their own content? And the only way to get
that fast was to copy everything?
And then the appeal was based on not having access to
their own content, which was then owned by FMW and
now, I am learning, you? Did you allow access for people to
get their own stuff? Or give it to them? Or delete
everything?
Like I said, I wasn't involved. Didn't know the ultimate

No, I had nothing to do with anyone getting anything
from NU. I was one of the mods over at TMP. From
what i gather, one user asked for access to NU to
copy and paste her own posts. Upon gaining access
to the sub, she copied EVERYONE'S posts and
posted them on a public forum.
For a while, the entire world had access to everyone's
posts. After a couple of weeks, I actually went
through what was there, and that's when I set it to
private.

Number 2 is a fair point, except the example you provided was

It's totally not true. TMP leaks like a sieve. But better to

About that... if I had to line up sub-war drama in order of
creepiness:
1. Being on reddit! We're all a little freaky.
2. Sock puppetry. I don't endorse it, but I can look past
it. Unless...
3. Spying on people from hiding and/or using deception.
Super creepy!
4. Doxxing, etc. Although this case is weird for reddit in
that it involves a mix of real people and us
phantasms, so there is some complexity involved.
Like, since a phantasm contacted SS's work, is she
then justified in trying to find out the identity of the
phantasm? Other phantasms? If Rabia gets tons of
crap as her real self, is she justified in wanting to
shoot back at a real person? If someone is a legit
murder suspect, is it okay to research them? Under
your own name? As a phantasm? I have my opinions
about each of these (e.g. I'm on record that Rabia
shouldn't have dinged SSR), but I understand both
sides of all of them.
5. Creeping in real life. Following Jay, for example, was
horrifying.

I agree with this list.i don't agree with most of your
number 4 though.
If you chose to be in the public, or be the public face
of a cause, you don't get to take personal retribution
on someone who made you mad or said mean things
about you. If ssr was directly harassing her or
stalking her or something of that nature- even then
she shouldn't personally handle it. Same with ss. But
she seems controlled enough to do it behind closed
doors or get other people to publicly fight her battles.
EP is the only one handling his public persona
appropriately. at least he only gives people a reason
to disagree with him based on his interpretations of
the law.

I second this. It is not what it's like. Most of the "innocent" crowd that was
booted from NU - none of them posted derogatory comments about the NU
like those people who have been booted from TMP have. Those who have
been booted have showed some kinda scary colors and while I HAD
reservations about the reasons for the boots... I see now that it was a good
choice. No, you guys don't owe TMP anything - say what you want, post
screenshots from private convos/subs. But you are absolutely not handling

it is no insult to me to be confused with her. I am, however, embarrassed to be in any

"Whatever fate befalls us?" I mean come on. And I think your righteous

entirely unfair and again, extremely melodramatic thing to say.
Are there shitty people in TMP? Almost without a doubt. I don't care for socks but
I also don't care that much about them. If people are nutty enough to make
socks and assume all these different personalities, well, it must be difficult to be
that kind of person. But who gives a shit? Do you or anyone else here truly think
that the average redditor, on this sub or TMP or anywhere else, is going to have
that much of an affect on the case or that anything we write in comments will lead
to something "befalling" us?

Big words. Takes a set of balls to say that to me here. I bet your balls are

Please, we all want to know what happens in TMP when you say "We are not
the legal guardians of Adnan Syed"
Oh wait, you didn't say that in TMP ... I did. I got labelled as a troll because
of it, a badge of honor I proudly wear because I spoke up. Those were my
exact words. And I had others. I had a whole post. I spoke up on an
unpopular opinion. I was willing to say we're being too dramatic in a place
and time when there were consequences. Half the sub was thinking it. But
they punked out and didn't have the guts to say it. So they continue to
think it, just in secret.
When you say those words to the mods and the bloggers in TMP and mean
it, then you'll have an argument to make. Otherwise, spare me. You're a
coward by trying to use that argument here and not in TMP.

[–] tuppence_beresford Booted from TMP :( 14 points 1 day ago* (las t edited 1 day

And that's really the purpose of all this, isn't it? To point out the
hypocrisy of some of those in charge over in TMP. There are lots of
great users in there, but there is also A LOT of false accusing, unfair
treatment to those who disagree, bashing the "other side" for some of
the same behavior they participate in, etc.
As a group, the goal was to have a space to discuss theories, etc.
without getting yelled at by those who disagreed. The "sunshine" sub.
But what it turned into because of poor leadership was a place where
disagreement was not tolerated, people were secretly kicked out and
then smeared for complaining about it elsewhere, and guilters were
hated on for doing things the sunshiners were also doing.
I don't like serialpodcast; it's an impossible cesspool of trollism and
disrespect. But there was hypocrisy in TMP, and anyone who tried to
speak up about it was spirited away with a proverbial black bag over
his/her head. The hunt for moles and socks was constant, while a user
who admitted to having lots of socks was welcomed back with open
arms.
So yeah, it might seem like some people being over-dramatic or having
personal axes to grind, but ultimately, we used to be a group of
people interested in finding out the truth of what happened to a
teenage girl and her ex-boyfriend who was accused of the crime.
Things have skewed so far away from that, and there are some people
who are really unhappy about that and think it's wrong.
So that's the deal.
permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply
[–] InTheory_ 8 points 1 day ago
Exactly. I believe a lot of people are looking for just that. Except
they have no alternative to TMP. So they put up with the
hypocrisy because so far it hasn't affected them personally.
I have to ask though, do you think it is possible for such a place
to be created? Can the issues and various angles be discussed
while the bloggers horde the documents? The sock problem runs
so deep it may be impossible to get rid of them all. Some
prominent people have to be called out for their crazy antics, and
will there be a sub left if anyone attempted to do so?
permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply
[–] tuppence_beresford Booted from TMP :( 14 points 1 day ago
I think the bloggers will do whatever they think they should
do, and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I think if
certain people hadn't behaved in such crazy, rabid ways
before SS, RC, and EP left SP, they would still be there and
sharing info. I think the only way discussion can happen is
with aggressive modding, where any language that is
insulting or disrespectful is removed pronto, no discussion.
That should've been the approach in serialpodcast as soon
as trolls started to appear, and it wasn't. The behavior was
allowed, and that was the end of sense and reason.

I am of the belief that there is no recovery possible.
The problems predate the creation of the NU/TMP all

problems have only grown since. There is no way to
reign it back in. The damage is done. My opinion: the
only way to fix the problem is to burn the whole thing
down, this experiment with TMP has proved that any
attempt to quietly fix it from within is doomed to
failure.

I was in NU and TMP. I was recently removed from TMP

of some potentially fictional battle between users. Some of
the leaders of TMP believe /u/frosted_mini-wheats is
some kind of boogeyman that they can blame all of their
troubles on. I am in her sub, so I guess that means I "can't
be trusted" or whatever.
What actually happened is that the creator of the sub
didn't like it when I respectfully disagreed with her on

remove me.

Other commitments took me away from Reddit for a good piece of the chronology in

enough time for me to get an eyeful of people in both subs getting out their torches

Whatever /u/theodoreadorno is up to I can't fathom, but the streak of naked

Let me sum up then. TMP has claimed to be the persecuted target of

forward with what they know, every time someone scratches below the
surface, we learn that far from being the victims in all this, TMP is at or
near the source of it all. As was said elsewhere, the guilty crowd has
none of the same foolishness going on. On some level they don't even
acknowledge to themselves, the TMP hardliners relish in it. And not for
a con, but just because the game is fun to them.

As an FYI, they have a lot to say about you
/u/stop_saying_right . What they had to say about you
with the whole MPIA thing was over the top. They were
accusing you of hacking Rabia's computer (not only is that
a ridiculous assertion, but it is a very serious accusation).
They were trying to track you down to discredit you in the
worst way. They even went so far as to figure out what
kind of printer was used to print those documents to see if
they were legit or not.
I don't bring this up just to throw yet more dirt on the
situation (though, lets just be honest, I am immensely
enjoying it).
The reason I bring it up was because when the
conversation went way past good sense, a lot of people
started speaking in your defense. But instead of being a
victory for TMP (as in "See, we all say things we later realize
is stupid, but eventually reasonableness kicks in and
permeates the discussion"), it turned out to be the
quintessential example of how the sub operates.
Of the people who spoke in your defense, the mods have
made them ALL quietly disappear in the subsequent weeks
and months (I think doo was the last holdout). Granted,
that probably wasn't the only reason they were banned,
but it was what first got them on the mod's radar.

you seriously believe we huddle together over there thinking

matters so much? People actually discuss the case and the

Whatever else you're talking about is definitely not apparent or

That's the point. You're pretty much believing
what you're told over at TMP. It's everyone else
that has to provide proof. If you want to ignore
the large number of people here who used to be
party to one or both of these groups repeating

your choice.
But if that's your choice, go back to TMP and

wade into the discussions over here. I've
watched the people over at TMP (and by extent
TBP) dig up info on people via documents,
perform witch hunts, harass and ban people,
harass people over on the dark sub, and
perform IP searches to determine who people
are in real life.

I've been wondering what could possibly save the sp sub
since my removal from tmp, and I really think the only
salvation is aggressive modding, which will never happen.
The divisions are too deep and ingrained for people to
police themselves, and there are trolls who love the
environment. No one has enough time to constantly
babysit, so it will never get better.

Well I suppose it's identifying high conflict posters
and targeting them - if the socks are gone, that will

I do think if we could agree some guidelines about

peer pressure - works in real life - just out the overly
aggressive ones and trolls and if there's consensus
then they will leave

I agree that peer pressure is the way to go
more than aggressive modding. And, I know my
own urge to conflict gets driven high when I
encounter the obvious socks (which is every
day), and I could do better to be more civil. But
the problem is the socks are there for a reason.
They're part of an intentional, explicit PR
campaign to free Adnan, and they've been there
since early on. For every janecc that gets
banned there's a summer/mutton and her 20
re-animating socks. The drama over who
participates or leads backchannel secret subs is
a sideshow that those driving the ASLT
crazytrain don't really care about. For them,
there's no way to make the dark sub less
"toxic" without brigade downvoting and
smearing of those who express basic opinions
like "Uh, guys, I think the dude is pretty guilty"
or question the wacky theories of the
Undisclosed trio too hard. The reason why TMP
ignored /u/doocurly 's concerns about the
sock puppetry is not to defend a single person
(janecc) and her sock factory, it's to defend a
widespread and intentional strategy that's kept
from overt discussion on TMP but widely
practiced probably by more than we'll ever
know.

Adnan's innocence is the officer in the neighboring county calling in the plates on
Hae's car, in a neighborhood by Don's (mother's) house. If I take that away, the

If she's calling you out on it, you're

This post is a very large collection of
various things that have happened

and is likely a blend of both fact and
gossip. The point is not to call
people out, it's to share what's
going on behind closed doors. Even
with only half of this stuff being true,
it paints a pretty grim picture.
I would understand your stance if
this was one entire post about you
and the various ways in which you
suck. It's not. Even the parts that
mention you by name aren't about
you, they're about the fact that a
number of people HAVE been
harassed over the possible presence
of that screencap, and the people
that have been harassed aren't even
close to the people who may have it
(which was believed to be you, but is
apparently not you).
It's not about whether or not you
have a screencap, it's about the
lengths people have gone to obtain
it from people who don't have it.

It's talking about a comprehensive data mining project of people's

info possible from their FB timelines, adding people with open profiles
so they can monitor data from locked down profiles, see who/what
they comment on, what photos they add (!!!), who likes their posts.
It's the doxxiest thing I've ever seen, and this is an actual post from

Its why people should make themselves aware of Facebook

give a fuck because they want your browsing/click habits on file

I was being a little hyperbolic, but not by much. To

meaning they want to see what people think is private info.

Because I was a mere member, and not a particularly

anyone.
I could, like anyone else, nominate someone for
membership (though I never did). If the group agreed
and the mod approved, users could be added. Any
single member in the group could blackball a nominee
for any reason (such as "I don't like him").
I didn't inform Rabia because, like fight club, the first
rule of bonner was never talk about bonner. That
went pretty well until Janecc started talking about
bonner on subreddits and in emails to people from
Facebook, etc. After Jane outed bonner, I was gone
and didn't see that it was my place to tell anyone
anything.
Wrt to Rabia, when she expressed an interest in
joining NarcoticsUnit (where I do moderate), she was
invited and participated. I rarely interacted with Rabia
however and found her to be somewhat aloof in
dealing with a peon like me. I had no way of knowing
if SS had broken the first rule of Bonner and talked
about it with Rabia and figured that was none of my
business.

blame all 25 or 30 members on Bonner for
deceiving Rabia (see list in OP) and go

It goes like this: Stephanie rear-ended Hae either in the WHS parking lot or on a

Hae's hyoid. The reason it was Stephanie is because it took her 55 minutes to
take her sister home from school and get back to WHS. The car and body were
hidden, Hae's car & Stephanie's car got undercover repairs. Stephanie called Jay
(on Adnan's phone) to help her cover it up. Adnan didn't know what happened at

It fell on me after a failed attempt at a Yahoo group which I didn't start and
was invited to (that Yahoo crap sucks, btw). I'm kind of a lazy moderator,
so basically I just do whatever everyone tells me to do. Don't think I'm
some kind of mastermind or boss or head honcho in this whole thing. I just
clicked the button to start the sub.
Honestly, y'all are very emotionally invested in this reddit drama. It's

Oh my God. When will this drama end? Stop treating sub-reddits as some sort of
measurement of popularity or social status. As someone that's been in the bonner
party, it is nothing like you've described. As for FMW, I don't know much about her or
her decisions but I do know something isn't quite right there... considering the day she
closed NU she sent me a weird scathing email telling me that I was the reason she
closed NU down because of a comment I made that she took as me bashing her mod
decisions or something like that. I distanced myself right away but it's all so fucking
weird that this just adds to the pile. Get a grip people. Go outside. I think the air will be
good for all of you.

Let me slow you down a bit there. jon, I've always known you to be a
reasonable guy. I wouldn't say we interacted a lot, but I've never felt
any ill will towards you.
But there is something you need to understand. A lot of us DID walk
away. We kept getting dragged back into it. What's posted here is
only the tip of the iceberg.
Were you aware that after NU was shutdown and reopened with a
completely different focus (on non-Syed related stuff, which is why
only few were invited back), there was an attempt by the mods of TMP
to take over NU as if they had some kind of claim on it. As you can
imagine, that set a lot of us off. We couldn't just walk away.
Even long after we were all banned, our names keep popping up over
there in whatever the latest round of gossip is. Practically speaking,
how can we walk away? Some have had to change their usernames to
get far enough away from all this. Far from getting away from it, it only
fueled the sock accusations.
It sounds reasonable to say "it's just a stupid sub, let it go," but the
reality is that we've tried and we can't.
I hope that helps explain some of the animosity many are expressing
here.
permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply
[–] jonsnowme Magnet Cultist 7 points 1 day ago
I'm a girl :D but yeah, I've not felt ill will toward anyone really. I
wasn't aware NU reopened and wouldn't be shocked that I
wasn't invited (I still have a weird taste in my mouth from getting
out of the blue weird pms and accusations from the mod there
but I thought everyone had moved on from this bs) and from
what I've been told, TMP mods just went in and copied some
stuff that people at TMP worked hard on over there so that we'd
have it for reference. I haven't seen anything to prove that there
was some kind of fight for a take over and I'm not sure how the
TMP mods could stake claim on a sub like that (and I see no
proof of this in the post above).
To be honest everything I've read just feels like a lot of butt
hurt. I say that not in regards to you but to other posters here
and the fact that a post like this has to exist at all and the fact
that to get some headway and make a 'splash' it had to be
opened publicly. To me that says it's all about attention rather
than concern. As someone that's really only enjoyed TMP for
talking about the Serial case I have read a lot of the comments,
interacted with a lot of the people mentioned in this post as a
"Jane Sock" and even weird accusations against completely nice
and respectful people (those being accused of being CM, SS,
Rabia etc) and it just seems like a big weird war to me at the end
of the day.
I get it's hard to walk away when you enjoy discussing Serial.
Cool! Keep doing that. I'm going to keep discussing the case and
new findings and revelations when I can but this is the last I'm
going to post about all of this drama.
The drama is what I feel is easiest to step away from. Was this
post necessary? No. Did it do anything but act against itself? Not
in my opinion. At the end of the day TMP and everyone involved
is going to keep doing what they do. Undisclosed will keep
happening, posts on all subs will keep flowing. I get what you're
saying, really. But is adding another massive shitfest on top of
the already mountain of shit really worth it? What's the goal
here? To expose people in ways that really, not many people
even care about? If you have more to say, you can PM me! My
thoughts is just that we're all human beings at the end of the
day. No one here happens to be a "hacker" or expert at
detecting socks. There is speculation but this stuff just harms
everyone more than it needs to. I hope it all levels out and
people can go back to talking about Serial on whatever platform
they choose. I don't think it can be denied that when posts like
this are made, it just seems like people are involving themselves
on levels that are bizarre and unhealthy.

The biggest problem for me was that being kicked out of
the sub for no reason could have happened to anyone, and
can still happen to anyone, just because the person in
charge thinks on a whim that someone is a sock/mole/pot-
stirrer/whatever. It can literally happen to any one of you at
any moment, and that is not the kind of environment I am
on board with, ever. TMP can be upset about what FMW did
with NU, but it's the same thing when the sub creator can
remove anyone for any reason and no one can say
anything lest they are also removed with no recourse. It's
true none of this is very important, ultimately, but when
you spend so much time and energy on something, it kinda
sucks when it's ripped out from under you. Like NU was for
TMP, and like TMP was for all those removed for no reason.

My apologies on that one. I have a 50/50 chance, therefore
I will be wrong 100% of the time.
I know you wanted to leave it with that. And this isn't
trying to bait you out more. So, in the sake of fairness,
this will be my final comment on this particular tangent as
well (I'm not always good at biting my tongue, so this is big
for me).
A lot of what you are seeing actually IS people expressing
how they're butt hurt. You're not wrong in that. And
people want to express that. That's not wrong. Any
attempt to silence such a conversation, in my opinion, is a
polite way of saying "We banned you, now you should
somehow feel an obligation to keep quiet about it."
Honestly, I recognize no such obligation.
And you're right, a lot of this IS bizarre and unhealthy. But
unstated in that is that it is only unhealthy for US to say
that. When the mods are engaged in this kind of bizarre
behavior (as the OP is bringing to our attention with such a
post), then it's somehow ok? In what world does that
make sense? How come no one is getting after them about
it being petty and just plain stupid? It is only petty when
we address it.
I think the number of people who have involved themselves
in this conversation shows how much people do care about
it.
I've said this before I was even banned, but I truly do not
thing the sub was started with those intentions in mind. I
don't believe they meant to be as dictatorial as they are.
But that doesn't excuse the fact that the sub has gotten
out of control and become just that.

I'm continually amazed by the lack of understanding of what constitutes doxxing.
Doxxing is the public broadcasting of private information, not the private sharing of
public information. Mostly it refers to outing the identity of anonymous internet users
and/or putting people's addresses, social security numbers, etc. on something like
pastebin and then tweeting it to thousands or millions of people.
On an unrelated note, thanks for the gold you gave me way back when doo. You were

Reddit has a pretty no-nonsense rule for the sharing of information,
be it private or on public record.
Posting personal information about someone, even information said
person posted in public about themselves is considered doxxing by
Reddit's standards and rules. It may be public information, but
gathering it all in once place for a bunch of nosy people to pick apart
with extreme ease is a violation of personal privacy.
Unless you are the NSA.

It's interesting. Early on the mods of /r/serialpodcast were some
of the first people in this case to start posting links to things like
Jay's criminal record, for example. By the time I came around
they had established a policy that this information wouldn't be
allowed on that sub. I didn't understand that and posted a
couple of comments and links and the mods removed my links
and banned me. We had some polite exchanges over PM and the
mods who I spoke with acknowledged a "gray area" relative to
publicly available information. They didn't indicate that what I had
done (and they had done earlier) constituted doxxing and
despite much of this type of posting having happened at various
times on /r/serialpodcast I haven't heard of reddit admin
shadowbanning or banning anyone because of doxxing.
Further, my point included the sharing of public information on a
private forum. It's not like anything is being broadcast for the
whole world to see.
permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply
[–] LipidSoluble 5 points 14 hours ago
It doesn't matter via rules of Reddit. The reason they took
that stance was because it's against the TOS of Reddit
usage.
It doens't matter if it's shared on a public or private forum.
It shouldn't be shared at all.

It shouldn't be shared among whom at all? Law
enforcement shares such info (as you mentioned the
NSA). What about private investigators? Involved
parties? Is the sharing of anyone's telephone number
by anyone in a private forum on the internet
unethical? I don't think it's cut and dry. It certainly
isn't doxxing, as the accusations have contended.

I am not convinced that sharing Jay's
criminal record is a violation of the TOS of
Reddit. He's a public figure (has been since
he did the Intercept interview) and these
are public records. Reddit's "private
information" policy is almost exclusively
about linking to people's personally
identifying information. He identified
himself publicly. I think it's apples and
oranges.
By this definition the telephone book, tax
assessors office records, and much of the
public library would be "doxxing".
Journalists wouldn't have anything to
pursue leads with. I mean, it's an
interesting ethics conversation... and
there are new challenges because of the
internet age, but nobody on any sub I've
seen is finding and publishing people's
street addresses, home phone numbers,
etc.

Posting someone's Facebook page is
against the rules. Why would
someone's criminal record be
exempt?
From
https://www.reddit.com/wiki/faq :
Is posting personal information ok?
NO. reddit is a pretty open and free
speech place, but it is not ok to post
someone's personal information, or
post links to personal information.
This includes links to public Facebook
pages and screenshots of Facebook
pages with the names still legible.
We all get outraged by the ignorant
things people say and do online, but
witch hunts and vigilantism hurt
innocent people and certain individual
information, including personal info
found online is often false. Posting
personal information will get you
banned. Posting professional links to
contact a congressman or the CEO
of some company is probably fine,
but don't post anything inviting
harassment, don't harass, and don't
cheer on or vote up obvious
vigilantism.

/u/alwaysbelagertha ...I'm sorry that you can't get anything past that concrete wall

I am rarely offended, but I will tell you that I'm offended greatly if you are insinuating in

Frosted. This post and information is of my own making. I don't need anyone's

the information about all the janes, hey, don't worry about what the evidence says.
I've got my own reasons for posting this post, and somewhere down on the list is
sticking up for a friend, and I've taken far too long to do that much. I've had the janes
list since March, and lots of people can verify that I've considered taking that
information forward waaaaaaay before you began blaming everything that's wrong with
your sub on Frosted. Ask /u/sleepingbeardune . Ask /u/Shrimpchimp . They knew

Well, I guess I'll speak up since I seem to be a part of these revelations.
First of all, Doocurly is a real friend of mine. She is one of a handful of people I've met
on reddit over the past almost-10-months that I would trust to accompany me on a
Las Vegas weekend. She knows things about my life that I rarely share. She's seen my
kids! I am poking my head up here to support my friend (not that doo gives a fuck
what anyone thinks about her - just one of many things I like about her) and to share
a few thoughts with the Adnan-centric Serial-related reddit community.
For anyone who might read this that doesn't already know, I have been universally
reviled by most former /r/NarcoticsUnit members for "destroying," "killing," or "shutting
down" that subreddit, which I also created. There was one former, pearl-clutching
member who was absolutely appalled that, when I was queried about what happened to
NU, I responded that I'd killed the bitch and thrown it in the trunk of my Sentra (I
know, not for everyone but I often have an inappropriate sense of humor; I guess it
was too soon for a Hae murder joke. Maybe in another 16 years...).
Somehow the "We hate Frosted for destroying NU" mentality evolved into "Frosted is
the enemy who is infiltrating our space and exposing our secrets."
Early on in the history of /r/TheMagnetProgram, I was accused of having a sock in that
subreddit. I was accused of sharing screen caps from that private subreddit with
guilters. I was eventually accused of being a "guilter" and colluding with other guilters. I
have been accused of being Harleyquinndc, UneEtrangeAventure et al, and most
recently Mrs. Direction (I allegedly helped Justwonderinif with her fucktard BestBuy
doodle theory - insert eye-roll). Now there is speculation that I am not just helping
Justwonderinif but I am in fact Justwonderinif her ownself, queen bee of the quilter
world (and I am both repulsed and flattered by that accusation).
Wait! You may be asking yourself if I don't have a sock in TMP how do I know what
/u/theodoreadorno (with an "e") is accusing me of today? Good question, amateur
detectives! I know because 1) I never killed NarcoticsUnit; it has been working for an
electronics manufacturer in Seoul lo these many months and 2) members of NU who are
members of TMP regularly post the latest bullshit from TMP in NU. I don't solicit this
information. I have little interest in TMP - never have. But people talk. It's not cats who
power reddit, it's gossip.
My initial response to janecc's accusation that I am Justwonderinif was but wait, look at
my comment history. JWI and I really don't like each other. JWI's certainty about Adnan
Syed's guilt, to the point she would risk something in her real life against her being
wrong about that, makes me ill. But then I recalled - this is Jane we're talking about -
the redditor who wouldn't imagine someone running a really, really long con, talking to
another of alleged personnas in a very realistic fashion being an odd or unusual thing.
This is the redditor who, upon being shadow-banned for using multiple accounts to
manipulate votes responded by putting in place tools to allow her sockery to continue
undetected. Jane didn't start using tor and pay for some hidemyshit service to keep
Janecc from being associated with her new, known username theodoreadorno (with an
"e"). She admitted on multiple subreddit's that /u/theodoreadorno was in fact the
same as Janecc. What other reason did Janecc have for equipping herself against sock
detection? Oh yeah, because she was going to keep socking around using those
usernames admin was too stupid to catch.
I am not certain what reddit admin can actually do regarding identifying socks. I invite
them to compare the IP information for my account against every user Jane and the
moderators at TMP have accused me of being. I don't use tor. I'm not paying a monthly
fee for someone to "hidemyshit" like Jane. I imagine my log on shows more than one IP
because I use different devices. I am not however logging on in a single day from the
Netherlands, China, South Africa, etc. I'd like to see admin compare my IP information
to JWI's and Une's and Mrs. Direction. I suspect Jane and Une would share one trait in
common - they're the ones trying to hide their footprints.
Edited for formatting. I haven't posted in so long I've forgotten how to create a
paragraph break!

I am a moderator of NarcoticsUnit. It still exists and is my favorite place on
the Internet. The OP is a friend of mine. She belongs to subs that I don't
and vice versa.
I never had a real relationship with any of the bloggers. Because of
circumstances (crap that happened on /r/Serialpodcast) they all ended up
posting exclusively on NarcoticsUnit as far as reddit goes. I had reddit
exchanges with Susan Simpson and ai think she is intelligent, curious, and
an overall nice lady. I imagine her incvestigative work includes "doxxing," but
that's only a thing on reddit. The smartest thing I recall Simpson ever
saying was that one shouldn't post anything anywhere on the Internet that
one didn't want eventually shared with the world. Great advice.
Simpson shared some "insidery" info with me; I have never shared any of
that with the world at large. It certainly had nothing to do with Adnan
Syed's guilt or doxxing anyone. Based on the Susan Simpson I briefly
interacted with I have doubts that she knows about all of the crazy
shenanigans that have gone on in TMP. Susan always seemed rather drama
averse to me.

I don't know you, or at least I don't think I do. I almost like you for "fucktard
theory". Succinct, accurate and witty. But also a strong whiff of drama queen for
all the bitching and willingness to shit on people. So I am not buying this, but
thank you for the entertainment and a rare moment of fellow feeling with
chunklunk, frauline and co.

Well creuset (my favorite cookware!), I don't know you either but you've
been my favorite poster on SP over the past couple of weeks that I've paid
attention. I've been shat upon quite a bit so I hope you'll take that into
account. I wonder why you would respond here though since you don't
know me and don't have a dog in the fight. Just a need to be seen?
Anyway, looking forward to your continued, clever posts! YOU should be a
new SP mod :)

Just making use of the invite really. Wondering quite how and why my

I see that you have pasted a message from NarcoticsUnitMod here. That /u/
was shared by 5 people and I don't recall corresponding with you, whoever
you are.
I'm not trying to pass myself off as anything. I am a person with one /u/

I was no longer comfortable with.

This is unfair doo, you know I never doubted you. You know me very well too, and if
you're choosing to believe that we ban people bc they question us, well that's your
choice. This is disappointing. Let me know if you still want to be a part of TMP.

[–] dcrizoss 14 points 1 day ago
You shouldn't get offended so easily. What doo said is something that had
needed to be said. We all came together for a specific reason and all this business
with socks is absolutely bonkers. Wild accusations and virtual slap fights are
pointless. I for one would love to get to the bottom of this case and am always
interested in new information but sometimes it's hard to take stuff seriously when
you know there are some people that are literally talking to themselves and
causing dramatics for the hell of it. Shit, sometime I have to step over to /r/aww
just for a time out. You kicked me out of TMP once because I never posted or
participated. Now you know why. Just a suggestion but if you want TMP to be
different than all of the craziness that is reddit, you should have all users verify
themselves and encourage people to stay away from the dramatic cesspool that
SP has become. I'll be the first to volunteer.

I think you have some major, major housekeeping to do over there before you

up.
You might also want to check with Jane as to why her and AnnB have been in
each other's google circles for a long time.

[–] LipidSoluble 11 points 1 day ago
As a former TMP mod who voluntarily quit, and the holder of the
now closed account where everyone's posts and personal info
from NU was infodumped, there is too much merit to this post to
be comfortable. I quit sometime around when they started
banning people willy nilly and were crowdsource doxxing people. I
saw things that were way not okay.

We're nice really- pussycats by
comparison to many on that list;)
this may go a long way to
explaining the toxicity on the
DS and hence why everyone
was getting p***ed because
we were getting hostile
comebacks from so many
users - most of whom are on
that list (not all I hasten to
add).
All we want is some civilised,
respectful discourse - not warfare -
it seemed like we had to go into
battle every time we went on the DS
for no good reason.
We may disagree but we can still do
it without hurting people

No. I'm catching up and trying to
work out what this is about tbh. But
sock subterfuge and the subsequent
mistrust is unpleasant regardless of
which camp you're in. I will say (and
I'm not being snarky here), I
wouldn't want to be a member of an
insular sub where there is so much
paranoia and thought control: both
emblematic of totalitarian thinking.
Sadly, I think it has fuelled suspicion
and intolerance in the main sub. I've
been on the receiving end of the
former, and it is unpleasant, to say
the least. Anyway, have a good day,
Mr. P :-)

This is no doubt meant to sound like the high road. Instead, it sounds
like a cop out.
The mods are taking a beating. A lot of people are coming out of the
woodwork verifying that things aren't what they seem over there.
There's no way this discussion of 300+ 400+ 500+ 600+ comments is
from a mere handful of disgruntled ex members with feelings of sour
grapes.
This isn't going away. We'd all like to get an official response from the
mods over there.

FYI, I made the sub public, so anyone can view it. Gasp! My guess is that you
have people among your own ranks that have passed along the information
above. Hurry, purge anyone that isn't Jane, a blogger or you, then lock the door!
Guess what? This post will still be here. All facts are friendly, friend.
Please, anyone, if you are a "guilter" and I invited you over here, speak up. The

Question, are you saying the mod at /r/serialpodcast is a janecc sock?
permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply
[–] doocurly Moddy McModerton [S] 9 points 1 day ago
I said below, and I'll repeat, that a member of Bonner provided that list
of users who had allegedly been tied together by a static IP trace. I'm
posting the list that he compiled, that's it.
I've never had a reason to think that Sir Bonnerite was lying,
dishonest, or had it out to hurt anyone. He was concerned that the
original user, Jane, was up to something outside of reddit, and I
declined his invitation to be involved in a sleuthing effort to prove or
disprove his suspicions.

People say you are reasonable Scout so without introduction I'm
asking you a favour. Please consider the huge amount of personal time
it probably takes to be a mod of that very contentious subreddit, and
ask yourself if that doesn't exclude having as many active socks as are
being alleged, let alone evading detection by your fellow mod who you
work closely with. Tell waltz if you like, he's in an informed position,
but can we all keep calm about this and not start another bloody witch
hunt please? Thanks
permalink source save save-RES parent report give gold reply
[–] ScoutFinch2 8 points 1 day ago
I think I was actually the one who first nominated Ryokineko and
I'm not going to join in any witch hunt. I'll take the same position
I took with HarleyQuinnDC and leave all this crap to admin.
Otherwise, except for being a little heavy handed with deletions,
Ryo is doing a fine job.
But see, this is what I'm talking about. I seriously don't know
who to trust. That is the damage the janeccs and the summers
and the Unes have done.

Hi. I was really asking you in particular because I was
hoping you would use your influence. Sorry if it came out
wrong, I wasn't implying that was what I expected of you. I
agree about the socks. But I'm not sure they are the only
problem, and increasingly I think there is precious little any
of us, bar the mods, can do about them without actually
making it worse and causing just the sort of division and
shit stirring happening right in this post. Thanks for
replying.

Ryo isn't janecc.

It's been my observation that it's very tough for
individuals like janecc -- assuming that some
semblance of a genuine personality shines
through and it's not just socks all the way down
-- to feign levelheadedness and impartiality. So
I'm with you re: Ryokineko.
