Members joining using a VPN

Post by Jovial Monk » Mon Jan 17, 2022 2:21 pm

We need a more nuanced policy then just blocking new members using a VPN from full membership.

Maybe they need a longer probationary period? Say six months? If they are OzPol members and confirn on OzPol that they are

Protest all you like this place is known as a doxxers’ den (as is OzPol.) So joining using a VPN makes sense. Just how things are done these days.

Or maybe just treat them like human beings, you know, real people. And abide by the terms of the Constitution.

Well, could ask why the proxy/VPN. EL needs to protect the board against spammers and scammers.

On balance, Member privacy and security is more important. That is not safe here.

No, Bo-oby releasing private info, part of an email address, just cements that reputation if nothing is done about it.

Bullshit - no email address was released by me -
just a small part of the name and not even the @part.

The email address could not even be guessed.
Apologise for posting lies.
