CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Earlier the staff recieved notificiation that harrasment has been occuring over the Skype messaging system. We thus deleted the thread listing usernames that members had been posting for contacting them through Skype.

Again it wasn't that anything bad was said in the thread, it just made it far too easy to access usernames for abusive purposes. If you still would like to get Skype usernames, I suggest you take it to PMs. Any further threads of this nature will likewise be deleted.

Skype?

It is a online program that allows for people to speak to each other voice to voice that gained a fair amount of popularity on CAA. There was a thread in which people could contact one another, and it is this thread that has been closed.

really??? sounded interesting.

harrassment again? geez, it's crazy!

*edited post*

We're not exactly happy that things are driving us to more and more measures, but it's something that is absolutely necessary. Rest assured, we will keep fighting until it stops. I'd think it's a small sacrifice to make so that others can feel more comfortable and safe.

Besides, just like with the IM icons, you can still get the skype username by pm'ing someone and asking if they have it. This still allows you the freedom to use the system, it's just in a much more controlled environment. Plus, wouldn't you want to have a little more control over who gets your username and who doesn't?

^^

I give my thanks to all the administrators and moderators for doing all of this to keep the community safer.

it was happening to me i have blocked those users now so yah.

no no, don't get me wrong. I'm not mad on the fact that you're removing the AIM screennames and Skype stuff. I'm annoyed because of the Harrassers who do this stuff ^_^

Thank you for clarifying; such generally helps. Remember that very short messages often are taken in different contexts by yourself and by others. Yes, they annoy us to.

Meanwhile, unless someone has something to contribute to this thread or to update the information herein, further posting will not be necessary.

What's Skype?

Voice to Voice communication over microphone.

Most IM programs I know of have something like that....

At this point I would intervene to say that this thread is not regarding discussion of Skype, but rather informing people that the thread has been deleted. If you are interested in gathering more information, feel free to PM those involved with Skype or research it on the internet.
