You.. how would you feel; if you look over the latest new thread titles and see one that is most probably a standard issue cheeky double entendre enticement to look within. You ignore it. A few hours later out of bored curiosity you give in and open the thread. Turns out the title is not at all a saucy pun, as the subject is actual full on hardcore sex related. Then you notice the name of the opening poster. It is YOU, your name has been stolen and associated with a 'filthy' subject, by whoever unknown, and for whatever malicious reason to discredit you in the eyes of the mudcat community.
Recovering from the shock & unpleasant surprise you request a mod check the IP of the imposter and make a clear note that this thread is a case of malicious Identity theft. But not to delete the thread, instead leave it open so mudcat members can be aware of what has happened and you are in fact an innocent victim of malicious ID Theft.
The mod complies positively to your wishes swiftly & effectively.
But shortly after the thread is deleted anyway despite your request for it to remain open to clear your name.
From this moment on, because of inadequate & ineffectual mods handling of the affair, any mudcatters who read the thread but not the clarification of ID theft, will continue to think of you as the dirty beast who created a disgusting thread..
is that fair ?
These are the facts, ok I exaggerate the sense of shock & disgust, but I'm sure that's how some of you more sensitive souls would feel if it happened to you, and not me.
