Site Rules

[gulliver1]

Ed Is it allowed for an AB member to hack into another members account to find out personal and private information and then post on Ab divulging and bragging about it...... Is this breaking Site rules ?

Gness, 14:08, our addresses are not stored. I was just messing about as gulliver always claims to live abroad yet behaves like he lives in UK.

[gness]

Thank you, Young.

How about thinking of the membership of the site then, TTT instead of this obsession with where Gulliver lives before posting something idiotic?

[Peter Pedant]

I can fly - - did I tell you that?
It doesnt mean that I did, does it

I 'accused' a councillor when I was elected one of 20, of voting this was or that. He exploded. Jowls wobbling etc.,
and inquired how I knew ( hur hur hur)
16 voted against, 4 for the proposition, one chmn, one vice, me
and then left one voted amongst 17

say 1 in 20, 5% chance of being wrong, worffa punt huh?

[gness]

Do you mean that Gulliver comments on UK matters despite living abroad, TTT?

[Peter Pedant]

there is an obsesson wiv Gulliver which everyone harks back to, as tho it were an annoying zit, giving it a good scratch every now and then

I think it amounts to harassment no less

[Peter Pedant]

hmm is Gness in the North or the Republic
asking....
only asking

[Peter Pedant]

TTT - messing
god that is new then

[gulliver1]

TTT Stop bending the truth. You know and I know, you hacked into my account ... You even acted Mr big by admitting it, then tried to laugh it off ....
supported by your ab friend

gness, commenting is one thing but daily obsession with things that only a native could feasibly that concerned with is what I mean. I live in UK but what if I posted daily and exclusively about a couple of aspects of say Spanish politics. Would an indigenous Spaniard not suspect that I was in fact in Spain?

No, Gulliver1, it is not allowed.

However, it didn't actually happen. It was a joke. I showed my disapproval of the joke on the thread where this incident took place.

[ABSpareEditor]

ToraToraTora, who cares? I don't see why it matters where members are located. If they have an opinion on UK politics then they have an opinion, and we welcome diverse opinions on The AnswerBank.

[ABSpareEditor]

Gulliver1, unless you recently amended your profile then I wouldn't worry. Your address or place of residence isn't listed. If you're concerned, you can change your password or email me and I will change it for you.

[anneasquith]

‘ it was a joke ‘ . That’s ok then . If everyone is in on the ‘ joke’ .

People can give away facts about themselves on AB so there would be no point in even trying to hack into the account. There is nothing to find.

[ToraToraTora]

AbED; "ToraToraTora, who cares? I don't see why it matters where members are located. If they have an opinion on UK politics then they have an opinion, and we welcome diverse opinions on The AnswerBank. " - fair enough just seems odd to me, I don't have to hack anything to know that he almost certainly does not live abroad.

[gulliver1]

14.35 Ed the very fact of ttt saying where I live, proves to me he did get into my AC. Because for security reasons that is what it would say .... get it.

[anneasquith]

Come on Susan , who ?

[jno]

Englishpersons are free to give their opinion on Scottish politics, and frequently do so. Others remark on affairs in Ukraine or America or even (OMG) the EU. Not really a problem, is it?

[gness]

I know how Gulliver feels then, Tora. I don't comment on Irish politics or news as there are very few Irish folk on AB.

I do have an interest in UK politics but there is no point now in even commenting on a thread here as I'll be told...what's it got to do with you. Don't you live in Ireland?
UK politics will of course be discussed on AB more than the politics of any other country. Those of us no longer living there shouldn't be interested, especially now.

Does it matter where someone lives? Maybe only if they don't share your views.

Wolf, if it’s that easy I do hope you’ve emailed the Eds separately - and urgently - to make them aware.
