Remove DV links from a person’s “past comment” page unless viewed in context.
(After the recent comment thread dfranke sparked, I lost a large number of upvotes from my past comments, which were previously almost uniformly weakly positively ranked. I assume my previous posts had not suddenly reduced in quality, and that someone had simply decided to go through and punish me. Making people view a comment in context—one more mouse click—would make this unconstructive action less convenient and less likely.)
I am alarmed and dismayed that no-one has raised the issue of privacy in this thread. Swimmer963, just from glancing through your comments, you’re [rot13′d description of Swimmer963 deleted].
I didn’t whizz through those to be creepy (actually I was impressed at how you seem to be consistently sensible), but if you’re going to share incredibly personal details about “a friend” who was raped, we need to know if this information has been posted with her consent. The above is very easily enough to personally identify you.
On whether or not this will be important or not: [blanked].
EDIT: Deleted precis of Swimmer963′s situation; it had served its purpose. EDIT: Deleted some personal information.
