On criminality and sourcing

Ping CharizardTheMan.

We do not make claims about criminal behavior here without providing a reliable source, because (we're an encyclopedia and) we're better than them. I'm not opposed to that paragraph being included. You just have to cite it.

Furthermore, you cannot declare something "criminal" without qualifiers just because one jurisdiction has outlawed it. Misplaced Pages is read by people in many countries. I, like many people, am in a place where outlawing websites isn't really a thing, and that sentence makes no sense from my perspective. If you do want to mention that, you also need a source for that claim, and you should say which jurisdiction you're talking about. ℰmi1y⧼T·C⧽ 05:12, 30 December 2022 (UTC)

That site doxxes people, has illegal imagery (CP), has criminals on the site doing crimes. And the site isn't funny. Stop supporting that criminal site and report it to the FBI. CharizardTheMan (talk) 05:14, 30 December 2022 (UTC)
