There are two felony convictions stemming from that. One of those would have him registered as a sex offender. As I pointed out in the Zoo thread, he is not in the registry. I would really like one of the board attorneys to explain that to me like I'm five.
I'll preface by saying that I have no experience with the sex offender registry, but I looked up the law and depending on the nature of the conviction, a sex offender is on the registry either for ten years or for life.

I figured it out.

I have a 2016 copy of the DPS sex offender registry that I downloaded for personal use in a house buying hunt. When you download the registry, rather than use it online, you agree to receive updates and remove from your copy, that may be in any way public facing, all those removed from the registry. I assumed my copy would show the entry even if he had rolled off the online version.

In 2013 the Court of Criminal Appeals struck down as unconstitutional the section of statute under which the subject of the deleted doxxing was convicted. He plead no contest, by the way.

Based on the Fort Bend District Court record it looks like he got himself removed from the registry in 2015.

The other felony conviction is for online harassment of a TAMU football player and others. Also a plea of no contest.

It is shockingly inconsistent with other action to allow such a user to exist on this site at all, no less with an AgTag showing that TexAgs knows who he is. And to allow him to use it as a means of collecting user information through third party forms is incredible. I assume staff and ownership will be looking hard at this and I would expect some form of public commentary to stem from it.

Supposedly people have contacted staff in the past and nothing


You should tell staff that fat bib fortuna posted a picture of a nip slip. That'll get their jimmies rustled.

Some poster named fat bib fortuna or something who also used to be muckracker or something was outed as having impersonated Trent hunter and some other football player years ago while he was a reporter Katy high school sports, in order to get nudes from underage girls. He also apparently ran some contests on the entertainment board as a way to collect posters personal info so he could dox them irl.

WOW

I'm looking for his email address.

ETA: and I don't see it. I'm not sending a more detailed statement of concerns to a "Contact Us" form.


And what does TexAgs owe to any of this? The guy doesn't have any legal limitations around posting on message boards. And part of me says that if you're willing to send personal info to an anonymous poster on here then that's kinda on you.

Then check with his probation officer who would be the main one responsible for monitoring for that.

I don't have access to the terms of his probation. But if you think a probation officer has the time to monitor every one of his charge's e-personas you're going to be disappointed. It takes a village. The guy was convicted of a felony level violation of this site's rules and nothing happened. Most of us would get a long ban for suggesting that Dennis Franchione isn't a good football coach. I'd like some accountability as to why that is.

People are conflating two different things. His legal issues in the past, and doxxing users on Texags. And as far as I know, nothing has been proven on the latter, nor has anyone in the EB (the board he most frequented) accused him of such.

I feel like the crossover between his old crime and Texags is that it was an Aggie football player he was impersonating, which resulted in that player nearly losing his scholarship.

Dennis Franchione isn't a good football coach. There, I said it and I mean it.

His felony convictions don't have anything to do with doxxing people. I don't know if he did or didn't and don't much care. That's the only thing that gets moderated consistently around here is doxxing threads get taken down.

He was convicted of impersonating someone and using that impersonation to nearly destroy their life.

And the other thing, you know, being a child sexual predator.

And nobody is defending any of that. But beyond it involving an Aggie football prospect, what does it have to do with TA? Not sure why staff should be compelled to ban a user for their personal matters outside of this forum.

Hmmmmm, and how would you know anything about the personnel record of another TexAgs poster? Did you just admit to doxxing posters on TexAgs?

I can only speak towards my experiences, but he has always been a pleasant poster on the EB and I've never had a bad interaction with him. I'm going to copy something several have said on the EB and that I agree with which is while I find his past reprehensible and abhorrent, I absolutely believe in forgiveness and that people can change. I hope he has made amends and served/is serving his punishment. I hope he is legitimately sorry for what he did. I know he had some major life changes in the time since 2010 which no doubt have had an effect on him and he has hopefully grown into a better person than his past represents. I cannot speak towards the doxxing since as of right now, the only person I know has been doxxed is the accused.

Either way, it is for the staff and admins to determine what must be done and it sounds like that process is underway.

Not sure if serious...

If so, I'd suggest brushing up on the parts about not violating the law (committing felonies) and respecting student athletes.

I think the argument for banning from him TA is that he used polls on the Entertainment forum to collect user data and then used that data to doxx them. Doxxing a user is a bannable offense.

Well, if I was Brandon, I wouldn't want a known child sex predator to be associated with my website. It's not a good look.

Maybe just confine him to the entertainment board, over there they seem to have no problem with a child sex offender

so probation officer is off the hook because it would be impossible but you think it should be possible for owners of a website with message boards to verify each users criminal background?

If they do criminal background checks they can put a little symbol next the username. Like a little pair of handcuffs next to the AgTag and stars

Not looking to get into a debate on this, but did you actually read the page? Those rules apply to posting on texags. Far as anyone knows, none of it was done on this website.
