Dear Websleuths members,
Again we find ourselves trying to moderate based on rules set up for other cases.
Once in a while, our rules do not fit with certain cases and therefore changes need to be made.
We will try and make this as easy as possible.
If you have a question send me a private message, please. Do not post the question on the forum.
For our new members: Welcome to websleuths!
Websleuths is different than any other forum on the internet. If you are used to forums like topix then you are going to find out quickly websleuths is not topix. We dont allow rumors. We dont allow comments from facebook or comments from other forums. We work hard to make sure everyone stays on topic. We allow and encourage appropriate sleuthing. Most of all we want you to become involved and enjoy your experience at websleuths. You can review our rules right here:
http://www.websleuths.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?159-the-rules
*Please no personal chatter back and forth. Welcoming someone back or making jokes at other members expense is not going to be allowed. The case is about Missy Bevers. Please do not make the thread about you.
* YOU CAN SPECULATE ABOUT PEOPLE IN THE SEARCH WARRANTS AS LONG AS YOU USE THEIR INITIALS ONLY. This overrides an earlier decision I made. My apologies for the confusion. It is 100 percent my fault.
*if you do speculate please do not make comments on their personal appearance. Thats just rude. You can speculate on their behavior but if you want to post something unkind about their looks please dont.
*Speculation is allowed if it involves someone who has been named in the mainstream media and you can logically put this person at the scene of the crime or can suggest they were somehow involved. Speculation has to be based on some semblance of fact. In other words, you cant speculate that the dry cleaning people killed Missy. The police have confirmed they believe Missy was targeted. Thats a good place to start.
*Speculation does not mean you can sleuth any of these people. Their lives have been turned upside down and the last thing they want to see is something personal and embarrassing posted on websleuths for the world to see. No sleuthing aka no digging into their backgrounds and posting what you find.
* Here is a hypothetical for you: Say you were face to face with the person you are getting ready to post about. This person also knows your real name. Would you say what you are getting ready to post to this persons face? Please think before you post.
*We have an unfair advantage. We are anonymous. Your words are very powerful and they will be on the internet forever. You will own those words when the truth is found out about Missy's murder.
To review:
*yes you can speculate as long as it is logical and done in a mature manner.
*Missy's husband's Facebook page is now private therefore it is off limits. All Facebook pages that are now private are off limits
*yes you can discuss all pictures/ videos (No Minors) as long as you can source them to a legitimate source . Do not post or discuss the twitter picture that showed the face blown up. This looks like some sort of photo-shopped picture and it cant be sourced.
i am completely responsible for any confusion that has gone on in this thread. Sparky is doing a great job and she was doing what i taught her to do. I want to publicly thank sparky for her hard work and dedication.
Ok newbies and old time Websleuths members, go forth and discuss!
Sincerely,
Tricia Griffith
