Hi, all -
There have been some questions about the newly released search warrants regarding IMVU and WS poster, NoeticSoul, named in the warrant. This post is to outline the rules in discussing this topic.
--IMVU activities can be discussed on this thread, but ONLY if they specifically are about this case and the case players
--there is to be NO copying and posting from any threads in the private forums discussing IMVU
--NoeticSoul has posted that she will not be answering questions on the forum or via PMs about her IMVU involvement. Please respect this and remember that sleuthing a member is a violation of TOS and will result in a TO. If NoeticSoul wishes to respond to questions in the future, she will do so.
This is a perfect example of when posters become involved in a case that they may face public scrutiny about their involvement. I urge ALL posters to think carefully before becoming involved in a case. And, I want to remind everyone that you are on your own when reaching out to case players -- you are not reaching out on behalf of Websleuths without the express permission of Tricia.
Members of Law Enforcement regularly read at WS. Generally they contact WS Admins when they register, but there is no requirement that they do so. Unless they ask us to, we do not publicly identify them, but all posters should be aware that public comments about illegal activity could bring them attention they may not want. WS receives subpoenas on a regular basis from various agencies. WS will comply with all valid subpoenas received.
Please thank this post, so that I know you have read it.
