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 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.
WOWQuote:
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.

I mean F16 is allowed to exist so do you think they really care
What if he did have a limitation as part of his probation?03_Aggie said:normaleagle05 said:

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.

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.Quote:

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.

And the other thing, you know, being a child sexual predator.
Hmmmmm, and how would you know anything about the personnel record of another TexAgs poster? Did you just admit to doxxing posters on TexAgs?ham98 said:
the poster in question has been suspended multiple times by DPD. The only thing he is an expert at is being a crooked cop

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.
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.Brian Earl Spilner said:Quote:

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.Brian Earl Spilner said:Quote:

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 stars03_Aggie said:normaleagle05 said:03_Aggie said:normaleagle05 said:

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?
And I completely agree.normaleagle05 said:wangus12 said:

Agreed. But let's be diligent not to conflate forgiveness with forgetfulness.
