I realize I'm stepping on a landmine here....

...and possibly tempting the Gods, but if one outs a member of Jim Robinson's FreeRepublic in this forum is this a violation of the rules?

Asking for clarification purposes as the trolls and disruptors seem to be growing in numbers.

1. Alert the mods - especially if you have solid info.

Click the little "alert" button in the lower left of the offender's post.

NGU.

5. Alert the moderators. At least they can keep an eye on him or her

2. Yes, it is. Contact the mods.

3. PM a mod and tell them

I think that's the best way to deal with the issue.

4. No, you can't call out members publicly

but you can point us in the direction in a pm. He'll then out himself in no time.

6. Thanks....

...that was my bad. I alerted the mods and posted the offensive information. It won't happen again.

12. "Outs"?

[Neecy]

13. good luck

I hope you're believed. It seems unusually hard to prove, almost ridiculously so.

I'll just add this: protect yourselves. Don't give out personal information to ANYONE unless you've met in r/t or have someone who can vouch for that member. There are sick people in this world who mean us harm and I have no doubt they use this forum to troll for information.

The best way to deal with a troll is to alert the moderators. Do not engage them...although I know it's fun it really is not helpful to us. Alert is your friend.
