Should they do so here, I would not hesitate in banning anyone for that.

A flame war has started because of the actions of these two Ozpol members.

The damage has already been done. Ah, well, just wanted to make the members here aware of what is happening.

Yes. Have you thought of banning the member who has continuously posted their photos and personal details all over the board for the last few years? This persecution of the original perpetrator might stop.

Just a suggestion.

I've just been informed by someone that my name has been used on another board. Fortunately I didn't use my real name, but it came from the email address I used not only on PA, but my account on Photobucket. Don't use your real name on any forum.

Thank you but your suggestion is ill-informed therefore not practical.

He has been in a few previous incidents over the years. Now by the looks of it there is a second perpetrator.

What does it matter anyway. I saw a member's photo up there 2 weeks ago and the person who posted it is still there.

Have you thought of setting some posting standards? You can't expect only some members to adhere to some rule that is never enforced across the board.

I have no idea what you are talking about but we do have a posting standard: no personal details.

Sorry, I fail to see anything hilarious about posting personal details.
