Well, it's about time.

DiaperSwappers has now added a "Wall of Shame".

"This board is very marketplace-driven and we want our members to feel safe when engaging in transactions or trades. Because of this, we have compiled a list of those people that have been banned due to scamming, having multiple usernames, and/or having questionable ethics. This is the official list.

With that said, any other list that is in existence needs to now be deleted. Please do not PM other lists around as we now have the official one. Those who are found passing other lists around will be banned. We do not want members "black-sheeped" or isolated because of speculations or false/unproven accusations.

If you have any names that you feel need to be added, please PM an administrator for review. We will look into each inquiry and investigate. If the user in question is found to be guitly, they will be banned and added to the The Wall of Shame."

I don't want anyone to worry; Diaper Scammers will continue to collate, collect, and report on suspected AND known scammers. Will this result in my being banned? I have no idea; I pm'd Juan for clarification more than 6 hours ago and still have no response.

So, this is the OFFICIAL list, eh? That implies there is an unofficial list as well. Care to share that with Diaper Scammers, DS admin? Just drop me a little note :)

P. S. When making an "official" announcement to a few thousand members, try to remember how to spell "guilty".

Then, there's this line here:

"krismarie Spam Via PM system"

What this said previous to the edit was "spamming BUDDHISM via the PM system".

That's definitely a reason I'll remember. Very unusual.

Hyena Cart Spot's Corner/ FSOT

This is seperate from the Hyena WAHM section. That section is going to take longer to get through and should appear by next week. In other words, these are USERNAMES, NOT STORE NAMES. There may be multiple people working together under a store name and multiple store names under a Congo. A Username is considered to be specific to an individual.

RED ALERT

Orange Alert
Yellow Alert

So, how *can* you do this? Can't they sue you?

Anybody CAN sue almost anybody over almost anything. That doesn't mean it's usually advisable, however.

There is a wonderful little federal law known as Section 230 of Title 47 of the United States Code (47 USC § 230).

Summation:
c, 1 "(1) Treatment of publisher or speaker
No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider."

For more information on what that means, read here:

Wow, this is a very interesting read. I'm pretty verbose, and this chick puts me to shame.

Angie, I have two words for you - SHORTER PARAGRAPHS! Damn.

http://www.thebatgirls.com/showthread.php?t=26169

(Ya'll owe me so much for actually reading this. So, so much. Donations of coffee pods are gratefully accepted.)

Angie posts on Batgirls today, accusing Misty of stalking her and not working hard enough at mediation on DiaperTraders.

"Since your being banned you probably won't see this. But I want to state that you have been given every opportunity to FAIRLY complete our transaction. You are the only person I have never been able to mediate with and end on good/pleasant terms with. I take that back, one of 2, only she has better things to do than stalk me. Everyone else that has truly wanted resolution got it. It has been your choice not to have this matter settled. I think you really should seek help for your obsession with me. It's not healthy and quite frankly is concerning me enough that I am discussing it with my attorney. Oh and I have several "friends" on BG, they have screen shots of what your posting, cross posting (which is against the DT TOS, did you know that?) so be aware your posts there are not private. All of this and our old emails are being saved for the lawyer. I hope you understand that what you are doing, slandering my name/character is a real offense with real jail/fines associated with it. Ya know, I think your kids might enjoy more of your attention, that your waisting on me. Just a thought."

Angie, you're an asshat. Leave people's kids out of it, ya fruitflake.

Boy, I can't wait to read your feedback...
