Please contact TC69 or other admins directly through the many avenues that have been opened, so this can be handled directly and you can give them the information that helps them in their investigation.
Accusing TC69 of anything is making your accusations look less legitimate.
I wish you would, because if one of the admins on the site is a sexual abuser they should be permanently removed.
I don't understand, they seemed very willing to get to the bottom of this and get rid of him should the investigation turn out that what you say he did was true. What changed?
Yeah that does make things more complicated. Still it would be right for you to be vindicated.
As far as i'm aware TC69 has not spread lies or accused you of anything. If you do not trust TC69 for whatever reason, then contact other admins so they can progress the investigation.
The information you can share here should be shared directly with the people investigating rather than here, where they will likely draw attention from bad external actors trying to manipulate the situation and add fuel to the fire, as well as putting you in danger by making some of your personal information publicly available for any potential harasser to use against you.
Please respond to the admins in some way to share the information you have with them.
In our research we also came across this oddly specific pickle post from an account with Beatnik’s name in it (Beatnik’s anarchist friend) that could have played a role in finding a name, thus making everything listed public information. Not definitively saying this is how the leak occurred, but it’s a possibility.
But she didn't say the name came from the pickle meme, she said it was a possibility. That part always seemed like a stretch to me tbh
This is not true. The link to a pickle post was posted as one element of the various sources which make beatnik's information publicly available/potentially easy to find, as a public release of the facts of the investigation by the admins.
In no way was the sharing of this information meant as an accusation or in some way casting doubts into your allegations, it was in fact described as : "could have played a role in finding a name, [...] Not definitively saying this is how the leak occurred, but it’s a possibility." This is in the context of exploring the potential ways for you to confidently confirm your allegations, since information that is public and easy to find is sadly easy for a potential bad actor to use, and cannot be relied on to corroborate your allegations. It is not meant to discredit you, and I think that's pretty clear. If this is the reason for your mistrust of TC69 then I believe it is an unfair one, you should directly contact TC69 to share the information you have so they can progress, and any information you have that can help corroborate your allegations will be taken seriously.
You have no reason not to share it, as I firmly believe any confidence in the truth of your allegations would result in exactly what you want : an open announcement about the alleged actions being true, a ban of the alleged accuser and removal of responsibilities, and a confirmation to anyone who might interact with him that they should avoid him.
Please contact any admin with the information you have available, whether or not you trust them, it's a win/win. If you do not trust any of the admins, then sadly nobody in this community will have a reliable way of properly investigating this, and given the fact that the community as a whole trusts the admins and mods, posting publicly rather than responding to them directly will have no effect.
Getting hostile over being asked to provide info? Yeah this doesn't sound suspicious at all.
Everyone is telling you where to send that info and you're refusing.
You should be talking to the mods directly rather then posting private info on main.
Devs, do the admins even have the ability to change users' passwords or read DMs?
So what you're saying is, there's absolutely no way anyone from the admin team could have read her DMs or changed her password?
In your view what should happen going forward? What should happen with the current admin?
What should be done about that though? You've shared your story. We are aware we may be dealing with a sex pest. The other admins are covering for him. You said you have a main account so I assume you've been a member for at least a little while. Members should have a say in what happens in our community and how to protect it. Even without the keys there's a lot we could do. Do you have any ideas? I'd rather hear from you right now since this has affected you so much.
I'm listening to you right now. I'm asking you what we can do as a community to improve the situation. I can't go beat up the mods or use my mind powers to make them do stuff. But as a community we could pressure changes. I'm asking you what changes should we make and what should happen to those who do things like lock your posts and try to gaslight you.
Just to see if I am understanding you, the only thing we can/should do to help you is to let you post all his information so that we can go raid his reddit and twitter accounts?
She stated that Beatnik was calling from a San Diego number, but never mentioned her own location (unless I missed it).
I think that the accusation was that the phone number came from San Diego. The alleged victim could have lived anywhere.
But honestly I think this kind of conjecture isn't useful, and I'd prefer to reserve judgement for the admins posts/decisions. This kind of trickle of public posts are filled with prima facia conflicting info and only serve to murky the waters further.
For anyone wondering why this was removed, it contained a detail that could be used to doxx someone
I agree the screenshot request is ridiculous. But maybe the fact that you guys called for so long on Skype could give you an avenue for getting evidence - isn't there a call or conversation history? You could look for that, I believe it's preserved even though you blocked him.
Does your friend have a copy of the chat where you sent the screenshot?
