Dear Websleuths Members,
We have a problem with this discussion. I know we can work it out so the discussion can continue without us having to pull the thread for review or having to ban people.
The only people who need to be verified are those who actually know the main people involved. If you are good friends with Beth's kindergarten teacher then you do not need to be verified. If you are best friend's with Beth's best friend's cousin, you do not need to be verified.
If you know and have contact with any of the main people in the case and you want to post about it then you need to be verified. Or if you work directly with any of them. My point is it needs to be direct social or business contact for you to be verified.
You need to be verified if you say you are related to the main people involved in the case.
The verification process is very simple. I have to know your real name and talk to you on the phone. NO ONE will have the information but me.
Let me stress that this verification process is not perfect and people can slip through but short of hiring a private detective this is the best we can do.
If someone who is verified posts something you must always understand that there is a chance, even though they have been verified, that they may not be who they say they are. It's the chance we have to take.
Please email me if you feel you want to post about your personal experience in the case and need to be verified. tgrif@xmission.com
We do not allow Gossip and that's how we differ from the other websites.
Definition of Gossip; "A person who habitually reveals personal or sensational facts about others. "
I disagree a bit with the official definition. You can gossip just once in your life and it can have devastating effects. You don't need to be habitual.
We deal in facts and theories as long as the theories are not ridiculous or state as fact that someone is guilty of a crime when they have not been convicted. We look at the evidence and information provided to us (mostly) by the main stream media and discuss it. That is what we do.
In the Casey Anthony case her lawyer is named Jose Baez. People call him "Jose Bozo." We put a stop to it because it does nothing to advance the discussion.
In cases such as Beth's where the news is now down to a trickle it is difficult to keep the conversation going. It's time like this where posters tend to get personal and argue.
Please, as owner I really want to keep Beth's case out there, but I will pull the thread and the discussion if the rules cannot be followed.
Take a look at our
TERMS OF SERVICE
But I'll make it easy for you.
Don't be a jerk.
Don't call anyone a name.
Don't gossip
Be respectful
Don't drag names of innocent people out and plaster them all over the Internet.
Do post and discuss and theorize and enjoy yourselves.
If you have any questions feel free to email me or PM me.
