/r/creepshots has been removed due to doxxing of the main mod.

MillenniumFalc0n · 2012-10-10T16:03:46+00:00

/u/Potato_in_My_Anus has verified the accuracy of this PM.

To clarify, this was about CreeperComforts being doxxed, not PIMA

flounder19 · 2012-10-10T16:04:34+00:00

I feel like this threat isn't entirely legal...

Atraineus · 2012-10-10T16:26:38+00:00

I can appreciate the dramatic irony of a /r/CreepShots mod not wanting to be exposed online but doxxing and black-mail I can't agree with.

Erikster · 2012-10-10T16:17:44+00:00

Well holy shit.

Why is all of this exploding now? Just because VA was doxxed?

douglasmacarthur · 2012-10-10T21:29:08+00:00

All I can say is that I dont envy the Reddit employee that has to track and sort out all this nonsense and I hope he or she is paid well.

kragmoor · 2012-10-10T19:40:10+00:00

this is entirely not legal. and if anything gets the admins of their lazy asses, it's people breaking the law on their site

CreeperComforts · 2012-10-10T22:11:04+00:00

This is what was sent this morning:

It's over

from HelloJK sent 14 hours ago

Hello *****.

Please don't go to the trouble of denying your identity. We have archived a great deal of evidence to confirm it.

Today you have a choice between two options.

Option 1

Shut down r/creepshots.
Unmod all the other moderators.
Delete every submission.
Delete your own creepshots from Imgur.
Leave only one post up: a public apology from you to the women of Toronto and to women in general for what you've been doing. The apology should acknowledge that r/creepshots is a vile subreddit because it normalizes perverted behavior.
After a day or so, make this account moderator. Make the subreddit private. Remove yourself and delete the CreeperComforts account.
Never post creepy pictures online again.
Just don't take creepy pictures anymore.

Option 2.

Use your imagination.

We advise you to choose option 1. Clean up your mess, change your behaviour, and move on with your life.

You have 48 hours to decide.

But after what happened to www.reddit.com/r/violentacrez , I doubt they will leave me alone, even if I do comply to everything, I am at a loss as to what else I can do.

sycoraxfleet · 2012-10-10T16:30:01+00:00

Have a look at /r/violentacrez. SRS is srs bsns. Someone start drafting a recap!

QueenCityACCT · 2012-10-10T16:04:42+00:00

Annnnnd it's already on reddit request.

emmytee · 2012-10-10T17:14:56+00:00

I, for one, think this whole thing is fucking hilarious.

TwoChe · 2012-10-10T18:23:26+00:00

Wow. What the fuck is going on and why radio silence from the Admins. Isn't this a pretty big violation of Rule 5?

someawed · 2012-10-10T18:33:17+00:00

This is great popcorn and all,but why is it that /r/subredditdrama is always the ones that get really mad at what SRS is doing?

I mean, out of all meta-subs, /r/SubredditDrama is the one sub with now 400 comments worth of insults, arguments and drama. Why did we get so directly involved instead of observing stuff?

LizzyBeth88 · 2012-10-10T22:16:24+00:00

I love the 'no grey area' arguments from the crazies in this thread. Apparently, if someone is against blackmailing someone from /r/creepshots, you automatically agree that the sub should stay up and support it morally 101%.

It has yet to occur to some that you can be against both and know that, barring extreme circumstances, one is not justified by the other.

fungalicious · 2012-10-10T19:06:27+00:00

Ummmm...so what exactly stops someone else from creating a similar sub?

This just seems like a dumb and illegal way to go about getting something done...I'm not even arguing if they should do it or not, I just don't quite see how they hope this is effective...

EDIT: Also - I really think this is a dumb idea if it was done by SRS...I mean I am sure both sides have their computer people, but I am willing to bet the "creeps" can do a lot more damage "doxxing" SRS, so this makes even less sense in that regard. Does SRS really want to fight a dox war with the likes of 4chan?

EDIT2: http://www.reddit.com/r/CreepyShots well that was quick

tarraingmobod · 2012-10-10T16:09:17+00:00

The dox war that SRS is starting will probably not conclude until it's breached Gawker's entity at this point. Hope you're happy, Gawker.

EDIT: its about time you got here, SRS. I've got another 100 accounts linked to my upvote bot; I appreciate you volunteering for testing. Let your downvotes commence!

(christ, this was just too easy)

SwedishCommie · 2012-10-10T22:15:51+00:00

Aaand /r/CreepShots banned.

SilversunPickups · 2012-10-10T17:31:26+00:00

Abdicator · 2012-10-10T21:48:21+00:00

Only one thing is for sure: there's a storm coming

Sir-Boasts-A-Lot · 2012-10-10T19:31:55+00:00

This is the best popcorn ever.

khoury · 2012-10-10T23:29:09+00:00

Admins will probably still leave SRS untouched. What's the prevailing theory right now? One of them is in a relationship with an SRS mod?

devastatingwoundchan · 2012-10-10T23:20:22+00:00

As a woman, if I had to choose between someone leering at an anonymous clothed shot of my ass and blackmailing me based on my sexual fetishes, I would choose the leering every time. Talk about the cure being worse than the disease. I felt perfectly safe on the streets with notwithstanding /r/creepshots (and related subreddits), but now I don't really feel totally safe having a reddit account.

cycophuk · 2012-10-11T03:12:31+00:00

I'm not sure if this will be seen, but someone or some people, created a tumblr account to dox people that had posted in r/creepshots.

It provides their a picture of the person, their real name, reddit name, where they live, age, screenshots of their posts, as well as other misc info. The people behind this have really gone to great lengths to provide as much personal info about these people as possible.

I'm sure it was created to as retaliation for posting pics that are considered an invasion of privacy, but this is pretty extreme.

I'm not going to post the link, as I'm sure it goes against the "no doxxing" rule and I don't want to get in trouble. If a mod wants to PM me, I will give them the link so they can check it out. I doubt anything can be done about it, but it can't hurt to try.

I really think this needs to be brought to people's attention though, since it is their personal info being posted. At the very least, the people who's info is posted there should know. If you were a contributor to r/creepshots, there is a good chance you have been doxxed.

CarlSaganAMA · 2012-10-11T00:17:01+00:00

Posting this again to raise awareness:

I'm fairly certain the doxxer was, or was aided by, a user named swintonblum. The doxxer mentions Toronto and seems to have a very personalized vendetta against the creepshot owner. She previously posted a TON of srswomen posts, which I occasionally troll. She created a post called

[TW] creepy motherfucker was taking pictures of my ass while I was grocery shopping

Which is now deleted, and I can't seem to find any trace of it on caches. Furthermore, all of her posts except for some heavy linkkarama ones have been deleted. I remember her posting about how some old dude apparently took a picture of her ass while she was bending over to get a pizza at the grocery store (in toronto). There was much talk in the thread of doxxing/outing creepyshots admin.

I would encourage anyone who has more sleuthing skills to find out whether she was infact behind this doxxing.

zonkers11 · 2012-10-11T03:27:06+00:00

This has got to be one of the slimier things I've ever seen go down. Ever. And I seent a lot o' shit. Damn.

J_Jammer · 2012-10-11T04:33:49+00:00

What craziness is that...that's CREEPY.

FuckAllOfYouAssholes · 2012-10-10T18:03:19+00:00

My mind has been officially boggled.

Since when did anyone from something awful give two shits about content on the internet?
Since when did a group of them (if not all of the users) become affiliated with SRS?
Since when did they go from trolling randoms to targeted attacks on things they thing are wrong?
Why the fuck is SA even mentioned in /r/violentacrez?
Do SA users really think their going to change people with what they're doing?
Did SRS actually come from SA?
Why the hell is anyone doing illegal shit to shame people for doing shit that isn't illegal?
Since when was SRS the moral compass for anyone?
Why the fuck does it even matter what's going on on Reddit?
How the fuck did the redditrequest for creepshots and /r/violentacrez go through already?

I am physically ill at what SRS and their affiliates are doing. It's fucking pointless. They're not winning anything. They're not doing any good. They're not saving people, ending violence, stopping harassment, providing help for any oppressed persons, changing public opinion. They're just fucking with reddit for the sake of it. The userbase is immature, and people say stupid shit and do stupid shit. But trying to ruin their public lives for how they act online? And blackmailing them with information that was likely taken illegally anyway, how the fuck is that any sort of 'okay'?

Any semblance of sympathy for the 'plight' of SRSers and the 'under-privileged' groups they represent is just gone for me. And I'm a fucking member of several of those groups. How can a group who claims to be pro-equality spew so much hate and do so many obviously bad things. And even if all this was just one person, they're doing on behalf of SRS and SRS is just rolling in the benefits.

And don't even bring up 'the greater good'. Don't even fucking dare bring up their actions like they have a net positive. If they want to do good, instead of calling all of reddit butthurt dwellers, why the fuck don't they get off their asses and out from behind their computer screens and go do something that has real value. Feed a homeless person. Become a counselor. Campaign for FUCKING EQUALITY. Not for Oppression Olympics, not for bringing down one group for the sake of bringing up another.

Who the fuck cares what /u/violentacrez has said or done? Who the fuck does it affect? No one. Literally nobody. Who the fuck does /r/CreepShots affect? No one. Not a single person is harmed. Not a single person is brought down.

Fuck all of you. Fuck SRS. Fuck SA. Fuck Gawker. Fuck whoever has been doxxing. Fuck you and everything you're doing. Fuck you for trying to bring down an entertainment site for the sake of stroking your own ego. Fuck you for doing real harm to people in the name of equality. Fuck your 'privilege' bullshit.

And fucking congrats for pissing me off. I'm sure that's just what you wanted. Rustle some jimmies, annoy some people. Good. Whatever. That only encourages me to be publicly against what you stand for. Nobody is forcing you to be on reddit, but you're forcing your opinions and beliefs on everyone else. You are the ones that should be shamed and banned. And you're too caught up in your own damned egos trying to annoy and piss off the userbase to see that. Fine. Cool. Ruin a business because you don't like what a bunch of assholes have to say. Good for you. They'll just move on. So will I.

ETA: For those who care: No i'm not /u/violentacrez, no I'm not a power user, and no I'm not a member or frequenter of any of the following subreddits: SRS, ASRS, MRA, Creepshots, VA's sub, jailbait (when it was around), or any of their spawn. I'm not directly involved in any of the drama. I'm a regular user just pissed off at the sum of the drama.

sycoraxfleet · 2012-10-10T16:07:53+00:00

It just says that /r/creepshots has gone private.

either way, I bet SRS will be throwing their feminist-flavoured lubed up dildos into the air in celebration. http://i.imgur.com/n0LMt.jpg

UnoriginalMike · 2012-10-10T20:51:29+00:00

While I do not think the means to kill r/creepshots was ethical I am happy r/creepshots is gone.

Now if we could just get srs to go down with it...

Smudgerox · 2012-10-10T17:24:48+00:00

Sorry, but what is doxxing?

chrisgrizle · 2012-10-10T17:59:10+00:00

Logic behind this HEY! stop taking those creepy pictures of hot girls in public, it's legal and all but it's morally wrong, take them down or I'll blackmail the shit out of you!

Cadoc · 2012-10-10T17:06:13+00:00

I can't sympathise with the methods of whoever did this (why does everyone 'know' it's SRS?), but that creepy fuck had it coming.
