haven't read it all yet but it is quite an interesting read.

 

[brainhulk]

why does a troll on an interwebz forum gain so much attention? how does he compare to some of the trolls here?

 

[dawp]

it was related to some of the subreddits that had questionable content that he ran and modded.

he did get fired irl because of that.

 

[dennilfloss]

From what I heard on Ars, he was posting sexualized pics of dead teenage girls. Vile...

I stayed up late the night before last reading that whole article.

Real dead girls? Or pretend death?

Real dead girls? Or pretend death?

real dead underage teens.

 

[Chiropteran]

"His speciality is distributing images of scantily-clad underage girls, but as Violentacrez he also issued an unending fountain of racism, porn, gore, misogyny, incest, and exotic abominations yet unnamed, all on the sprawling online community Reddit."

That is not trolling.

Doxing people is distasteful, but fair game AFAIC. If you don't want your identities linked, secure your shit.

 

[Deeko]

Only Gawker can write an article so long about so little, and get someone fired in the process.

 

[Phokus]

Violentacrez was featured on CNN's anderson cooper because of his jailbailt subreddit. It got shut down because of that report an also somethingawful waging a campaign against it. He also started a subreddit called r/creepshots that took pictures of women in public (sometimes teenagers). One teacher got in trouble with the law because he took pictures of his own students and posted them up.

I don't understand why the hell anyone cares. Reddit has some holier than thou attitude that I absolutely despise. There is no story at all, whatsoever.

 

[acheron]

oh boy, Reddit vs Gawker. If only they could destroy each other.

If it's the one out in BC the news is going crazy about, he'll be getting call from the police soon. They're looking for this ass.

It'd be interesting to see if Mr. Chen has an intact car or house by the end of the month...

 

[Anubis]

never heard of this person
zero fucks given

I started in on the article but can't read the whole thing right now.

Dude was a bit of a dick with questionable taste. Got doxed, deleted his famous reddit account, got fired from job.

AKA no story at all, and reddit/gawker continuing to be the absolute retardfest that they already were.

 

[mcurphy]

Interesting story. Guy sounds like a creep.

 

[Anubis]

i had to google WTF doxed was

 

[preslove]

This guy sounds like more than a troll. Encouraging stalkerish behavior and posting underage pics goes way beyond internet trolling.

 

[Miramonti]

i had to google WTF doxed was

urbandictionary ftw.

 

[Texashiker]

Why take the guy to a level where he would lose his job?

Why didn't reddit just ban the guy?

If the guy was posting questionable material, and reddit allowed the behavior to continue, isn't reddit just as guilty?

 

[Jeffg010]

This guy was dumb because he was doing meetups with other reddit people. It was only a matter of time before he was found out. Anyone know what his job was before he got fired?
