Account issue...
Hi there,
One of the mods sent me a note that you were threatening legal action because she didn't like you luring 13 year old girls to your facebook page?
I am sure there is something else at play here, but I see why she was thinking this.
I read your banter back and forth, and I see both sides. Something that may not have occurred to you is that you are asking someone who has asked a question on a safe zone, where they are anonymous, to contact you, thereby revealing their identity.
I will add something about luring people into revealing their identity on an external site when I next revise the TOS.
In the mean time, I am hoping that you weren't trying to do what it looked like to that moderator. I read the rest of your column, quickly, and believe you are really trying to help people.
So, in light of the revelation that you would be trying to get someone to reveal themselves, no matter if that was your intent or not, I hope you will understand why the mod responded as she did.
If you want to converse with people more, that is completely OK. What I ask, however, is that you make some attempt to answer the question and then add that you would be open to talking more in the future, rather than completely ignoring their question and posting something like this as your complete answer:
"Send me a message. www.Facebook.com/mo.ruthless"
If you would like to discuss this further, please hit me up on Skype: DangerNerd
As far as I am concerned, this is a non issue, as long as you work within the spirit of the site.
Remember, when quoting someone's TOS to look for this:
"Advicenators.com may terminate passwords, questions, answers, users, or any other content at any time and for any reason."
The one thing no TOS is complete without. ;-)
Thanks,
Russell...

Want to answer more questions in the Technology category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Advicenators?
I think that it is clear by the way I have actually shown that I am here to help people with their problems, that I am not here to make personal relationships with these people. However some things have to be answered only after knowing someone's personality or "profile" I do not have a Skype, but I would like to chat with you a bit. The person I wrote that to did not contact me. Which goes to show that it is their choice to do so and it should remain that way. That is the freedom that built what we all know as the world wide web. The freedom to go and do anything that you please within legal boundaries. I and my attorney do not feel that I have done any wrong. Presenting it to him was just a way of covering myself should said moderator actually have deactivated my account. If I feel that outside contact is necessary in order to help someone then that is what I am going to do. As far as privacy of the person, I completely respect that. In my line of work in the nightlife scene of. LAS Vegas. I am entrusted with information on thousands of female dancers and hundreds of male dancers. By information I mean Social security numbers and copied cards, State identification, addresses, phone numbers, everything down to where they have tattoos and piercings and photos of those tattoos and piercings. Pretty much everything I would need to ruin thousands of peoples lives. With great trust comes great responsibilities. Hence why I told you said child did not contact me. You don't know if they did or not. Point being, (It is their choice) They have the choice to get the long term help they need/want should they choose it. Facebook is my means of communication with people I don't know. Hence why my real name is not on it. I'm not giving my information out to people I don't know. There is only enough information there for me to use it in a way that I must for work and social interaction. I know all about internet safety. I've been "white hat" for over a decade. You being a programmer, (Yes I actually took the time to look into who I'm talking to) I'm sure you know exactly what that means and you know that I am not here to do harm. I enjoy helping people and I will continue to do so as I please. Until I legally do something wrong. I don't see the point in fussing over it.
I do think you should look into some type of mobile messenger app that people can use to privately (by private meaning only a moderator may see it on the server) chat with the people that have a complex or time driven situation. I'm not the programmer type or I would have already gotten started and ready for presentation upon this conversation, but I think it would be a great asset to your site and would be a great addition and tool for helping people. After all.... Isn't that why we are all here... To help people....
Regards
Mo Ruthless
Ps. Sorry for any auto corrections. Cell phones can be awfully irritating with that.
