I posted in the Positive Experiences section, but didn't name the person because I didn't have their permission to do so. The post was removed because of this unwritten rule (must name the person). I was surprised it was removed for that reason though, since it was a near miss platonic meet anyway.
I'm really fine with that - I don't really much care about the post being removed, or the rules perhaps needing to be updated. This post is not about that.
This post is about privacy. I thought the person probably wouldn't care since it's a positive experience. But still, it's their right to have privacy, and not have someone else they don't really know, advertising their private social life. Heh heh, not to mention, meeting the likes of me [:D]
The unwritten rule is silent on obtaining the other person's consent. In fact, the guidelines encourage the OP to include many details, such as where and when. And, it says you don't need to be involved with them, which to some, would seem to encourage more drive-by posts without obtaining consent, which again, isn't required anyway.
Yah, I know this is an odd thing to ask opinions about, and I'm not really trying to particularly effect any change here or give the admins a hard time (or bitch about it for that matter). It just strikes me as Orwellian backwards odd.
How do you feel about this? Would you like someone posting in positive experiences about you, without first discussing it? And what if it was an old romance, with an emotional or hard break up? Would you want that person posting about your (prior) positive experiences and naming you?
Well, as long as you don't abbreviate a screen name, or get accosted for doing so.....I say it's all good.
