Is naming and shaming against site rules?

My thinking is it should be a it can be used maliciously.

Yes it is but countless status updating a daily basis would suggest otherwise.

"Yes it is but countless status updating a daily basis would suggest otherwise."

Report them.

It's against the rules and a status ban would soon prevent further incidents. 🤷‍♂️

A status ban?

I've actually seen people naming folks in their main text.

Should be allowed it might reduce the vile messages of people if they have to see how bad people truly type and behave towards others.

Most people have the mindset it doesn't exist unless it happens to them

"Should be allowed it might reduce the vile messages of people if they have to see how bad people truly type and behave towards others.

But then what would stop me posting one saying you'd arranged a meet with me and we're a timewaster who stood me up?

Or that someone I'd never met before had sent a barrage of abuse?

Or anything else that would be totally untrue but impossible for other site users to know was fact or fiction?

That's why it's not allowed.

Just report any abuse, whether seen in a message or a status update.

Then report the profile.

Admin can't check everyone's profiles and statuses but it helps them if these things are reported.

It would be too open to abuse. I had someone naming me in their status and calling me alsorts a few years ago because I refused to meet him. All I did was say no thanks.

There's always two sides to every story, with naming and shaming you only see one side.

A lot of people want to see naming and shaming allowed until they are named and shamed .

It doesn't work, people are vindictive.
