Safety issues

[froggy69]

So mods have taken the story of the topeka arrests, are u f'in kidding me, something this serious should be put up for protection, mods get your act together, protecting this site should be utmost important!!!!!

[Guest090920]

Calm down, froggy. The thread was moved to the staff room for discussions among the moderators and the admin staff. Safety is a primary concern, however outing is considered to be more serious by the owner and admins.

We cannot save everyone who roams around backpage because that venue has inherent risks.

Thread moved to the correct forum.

#5 - Outing or threats of outing are taken seriously. Membership here is anonymous and for the privacy of our members it will remain that way. That means any effort or attempt to connect a person's real world information to their username on this board will be dealt with swiftly and harshly. This includes real names, employment, medical info, addresses past or present, images, criminal or driving record, etc. We expect everyone who participates here to respect and go to great lengths to protect the anonymity and privacy of one another. Reckless disregard or accidental outing will also be taken very seriously.

The rules are stupid, if we need to be protected, then we need to know who they r especially if one is still advertising to catch people

I agree with this. Both of those girls still have ads up, and they just brought down a whole ring of people. Who knows if they are just "monitoring" the cell phones of them to see who tries and make an appointment.

I really don't understand that statement. This group may have used BP, but they also used other venues - including this one....less than two weeks ago. And still has VP status and a showcase right now. I think the risk goes beyond bp roamers.

Sorry guys, but posting info on here that leads to a members RWI is not allowed.

[AlbusMilitis]

Ten days ago, I posted a thread in this forum titled Arrest in Lawrence.

The first reply to my post has 3 clickable links that take you directly to news stories with RL info....and that was apparently not a problem.

But now I can't say "there's a news story in the paper and StagenameX got arrested"?

I find that very strange.

And I'm not sure who I'm outing. I guarantee that everyone who knows the girls involved know they were arrested....because it was in every online news outlet in the region. And frankly, if I said "StagenameX got arrested, I saw it at this news source", most would read that and move on. But instead if I can only say "somebody got arrested in Topeka, I can't say who", dozens of guys are going to go to the story and find the RL info. It becomes the forbidden fruit.

Alas, here we are a day later, and my warning still remains erased from the board - not edited, moved to a spot where members can't see the thread or know it even existed. All the while, the VP showcase, and recent ad, for a provider who was just indicted on federal trafficking charges is in plain view on this board.

The thread you referenced is back in alerts appropriately edited.

A post made about a random "human trafficking" story is not quite the same thing as trying to connect a member to their RW info.

Wouldn't you agree?

Honestly I don't see how the edit helps prevent that....but I'm not going to argue semantics. I'm happy their names are back up.

Still, I think the term 'member' is getting thrown around too loosely as one of the ladies is not a board member.

[JCM800]

The term "member" would apply to the one that is an actual member here.

Nikki is still advertising, and her mugshot is absent from the Shawne county booking website, is that a coincidence????

[AlbusMilitis]

Froggy,

No. They have to arrest everyone at the same time, so nobody runs...and the odds are slim that all 7 would be in Shawnee County at any one time. So they just pick everyone up where they happen to be. She may have been in Nebraska or Arkansas, places she frequented. And if Nikki got picked up in Little Rock, for example, she probably won't ever go through the Shawnee County jail. She'll probably stay there awaiting trial, or go to some federal facility...or bond out. All 7 will probably eventually get scattered to seperate facilities, so they can't communicate with each other as easily.

As to why her showcase is still up...good question. Especially since this alert was taken down for around 12 hours. I don't know the answer to that.

[froggy69]

Samantha and 2 guys are on the site, just weird she's not and her ads r still up, could mean she's working w LE

[AlbusMilitis]

Froggy, I really doubt she's working with LE. One particular charge is of a sensitive nature and they could have easily and justifiably sealed the indictment. But they didn't, and put her name out.

And it doesn't matter anyway. What difference does it make if a pm to Nikki goes to 'narc nikki' or directly to LE. Either way, you're screwed.

Oh, and its Savannah Fox.....not Samantha.
