Doxxing on WPO

Post by WikiWikiWow » Tue Apr 29, 2025 12:08 pm

In a thread criticizing a WP Admin, Valereee, one of the WPO regulars decided to doxx her, revealing that he knows her age, location, interests and even where she shops and what she buys (?!!). Valereee creates an account and calls them out on it.

Will they "circle the wagons" and protect one of their own, like one would expect from a den of misanthopic trolls? Maybe they surprise us, but I'm not holding my breath.

idk doxing is a pretty strong word for what s/he/they did there. but Valereee seems to think thats what it is:

Yes. Here, he can abuse bad WP insiders at will--without a bunch of SIMPERING FUCKHEADS criticizing him. And probably stabbing him in the back to Wee Billy and Jake. Fuck this little shit:

If this forum is going to allow partial doxing based on Vigilant's disagreement with an admin action, can we at least keep it off google? This has nothing to do with the action, doesn't demonstrate a COI or that they're hiding something. It's just needlessly shitty, but I guess he needs something to do when he's not getting successfully trolled by a minor.
But he won't move over here. Because he has an audience of current and former insiders over there. Must like the feeling of a knife in his back?

Whatever. No one will listen to him and Valereee will keep on being an abusive patroller, banning people for trivial shit. Eventually, in a few years, she will be dragged to Arbcom and the SIMPERING FUCKHEADS will go, "gee, we should do something about this". Long after it is too late.

I've argued elsewhere on this forum—badly—that reputation is important on Wikipedia. Wikipedia should be a meritocracy, or more precisely, a place where trust—as opposed to the initial blind faith of "Assume Good Faith"—is rooted in someone's record of actions.
Well, IT'S NOT LIKE THAT. You little turd. And you KNOW damn well it isn't.

Vigilant, you are scum.
Andy, you're a different variety of scum.

Vig is correct, it's too late, she is easily doxxed and was doxxed here. FIVE YEARS AGO. Although I doubt putting her on Kiwi Farms will result in much of anything--a female WP admin in her 60s isn't "lolcow-zy" enough for their demented amusement.

"Encyclopedia" my ass.

Reposting the early archive of the thread (because I expect Wee Billy will destroy it).

If those little putzes are soooo angry about Vigilant taking swipes at them, and about the doxery of their little friends, why aren't they here calling out the Bird for doing exactly that? Oh, right, they will receive a much more hostile reception on THIS forum. Oops.

An exaggeration. But okay let's play along.: Ms. Taylor which behavior is a threat to your real-world safety? Think carefully before you answer.

You have social media accounts which say exactly who you are and where you live. With pix even. Maybe your name is even in a phone book? No one thinks "hey, Valerie Jane Taylor what a great name for a stalking victim!'

No, it's something that you're doing on Wikipedia. That's why you want to be anonymous on Wikipedia because that's where you're being abusive.

Maybe like, quit? Harder than tobacco but it's been done before. Just turning in the buttons would make a big difference. Your Framban-era request for adminship was how you made the news remember?

This is so-telling.

NPC, wait that means "non-player character", huh? Is Ms. Taylor saying that Wikipedia is…a role-playing game?

Always was, and will remain so, until it finally collapses from lack of interest.

The thread is still grinding. Appears Wee Billy gave up? How nice, we get to see more typing practice from the Radish and other shitbirds of the Magical Wiki.

You see? He WANTS all of WP's badly-written rules to apply to the entire internet. Wonder if he wants to get rid of the First Amendment so he can silence Vig and anyone else who doesn't Worship The Wiki. Vigilant is doing them a FAVOR, and the response from some of them is to bleat like little babies. Typical.
Jesus christ, I know this isn't Wikipedia and you're not beholden to those rules, but how about just being a little decent about it? No one is asking that you enforce NPA or OUTING, and many of those Wikipedians you mention understand the value in an off-wiki platform where things like COI/PAID information can be laid out, and where people can speak honestly without couching or hedging their language, but read the fucking room. Most of us would be pissed off seeing this bullshit on any platform about anybody. Valereee even came here and instead of being able to have any sort of dialog, even if it was just her saying "Nope, disagree" she got threatened with doxing on fucking Kiwifarms.
Kiwifams has shown a REPEATED disinterest in Wikipedia nerditry. Too much babbling, not enough dramah.

And WTF is a "level 2 desysop" anyway? Is that like an XXL size buttplug?
