Note: the OP of the thread (and guy who runs the linked website, arete) is known to provide cover for prolific shills/incite inter-community conflicts. His site has been accused of providing browser fingerprints to would be doxxers as well.
Edit: he has also admitted to reading private messages and using their contents to assist a massive shill in continuing his shilling operation.
Oh yeah, and another thing. Elvis banned a proven shill for, among other offenses, sockpuppeting, vote manipulation, astroturfing, and support of pedophilia - he then accepts an undisclosed amount of money from this shill, unbans him, and proceeds to protect him for the next year+, even overturning multiple bans of this user by other, less subverted moderators until they quit in protest.
And this is not even the same site. It's a subdomain hosting a different open source website.
summary of that 1 year old drama:
u/then accuses u/OGrawsaw of being JG5's fed alt (based on a sarcastic message by rawsaw in the chat), says he posesses advanced hacking skills, wants to obtain JG5's home address using packet tracing on timed realtime chat messages of a specific length.
I respond to him by saying JG5's browser errors out when trying to use the chat, so it can't be him (that's all I said, not even which browser he uses, I didn't even have that info)
JG5 complains that I've revealed his browser fingerprint, so I delete the comment
JG5 then uses that deletion as "evidence" against me, claims I'm in cahoots with his enemy's plan to dox him. As for the sensitive "browser fingerprint" - him openly posting archives of that comment clearly indicates otherwise.

Just a word of warning
You mean that one time a year ago when I said JG5's browser doesn't support chat when u/then tried to falsely portray OGrawsaw as an alt based on a sarcastic comment in the chat. Not much of a fingerprint.
And this is not even the same site. It's a subdomain hosting a different open source website.

Controlled by the same admin who sides with one of the most prolific spammers and trolls on there and coincidentally was the same person you provided the fingerprint info to. At no time did you try to stop his doxxing attempts.
