Did you guys remove the name of Keith Wells in a a very lengthy series of posts?

How about Gundi Holm?

There are folks on this site donating to prohibit this kind of censorship.

Personal info was indeed removed from the former incident.

In the latter incident, Gundi Holmes has sued SB and it is a matter of public record.

We similarly don't allow the posting of names in the Accident and Incidents forum until it becomes a matter of public record.

We are NOT here to mediate personal disputes between users such as this. That includes verifying the truthfulness of either parties claim. Allowing unubstantiated personal information to stand is against the policy of the board and it will be removed as needed.

Please conduct a search for Wells and you'll find your statement incorrect.

SB might want to update it's privacy policy, because it doesn't say anything about 3rd party (user) postings of peoples names/addresses, etc. Just that that it doesn't collect it to sell to other parties.

The only rule I've seen on not posting names is in the accidents forum, not to post accident victims names until it's been publicly released, (which makes sense).


I agree it's not the best policy to have posting of peoples full names (without their permission). but might be best for SB to actually include that in their privacy statement/policy.


I think the reference of the "keithdiver incident" was a good reference.... (before it was split into another thread, which I can see why also for separate discussion).

Information was reported and it was removed. There may be some information that remains, but we don't police every post for content. They are typically only reviewed and edited if they are reported.

Yes, we'll agree on that.
