This is the third time I've seen a version of this post today, and now the /r/Seattle mods have neutered it beyond all recognition.
At this point, there is no useful information in this post aside from the Sexual Assault Unit number.
Mods, if this was your intent, well done.
If not, what the fuck are you doing

Reddit is really good at perpetrating witch hunts with little more than circumstantial evidence or the word of a single stranger online. Criminal trials were created for a very good reason.

You're 100% correct. My original posts, though, had names redacted and an alias for the female recruiter that this man was posing as (which I will not post) that I Googled beforehand that had no connection to him at all in the general sphere of the Internet. I wanted to be very careful to disclose enough information to be helpful, but not so much as to incite anything.

Some suggestions from the mods were helpful, like including the SAU contact info. But I didn't feel my originals contained any personal information that could have identified someone unless you already knew the situation at hand IRL.

Putting names in a post is problematic because the mods have no way to determine if they are actually aliases, or if you're just saying the name is an alias.

I'd prefer to err on the side of not causing a witch hunt, per reddiquette.

Would this female alias be permitted if it was released or vetted by /u/Seattle_PD? If so I would encourage /u/nonerboner to drop a fresh post to keep it up and active. There's no real harm then, surely.

EDIT: Why is this downvoted? It seemed like a solid question.

Sure.

The whole "Boston Bomber" Identification fiasco comes to mind; how many times did Reddit mis-identify the bomber(s)? 3 or 4?

We're trying to keep this post from being a witch hunt, which is prohibited by reddiquette.

First, the poster was originally asked to remove photos of the suspect, and then later asked to remove the alias (we have no way of figuring out if that's actually an alias or someone's real name) in the description.

Fundamentally, we're trying to do good here; you know, the whole innocent until proven guilty thing. I'm sorry you're unhappy about it.

At this point, there is no useful information in this post aside from the Sexual Assault Unit number.

Mods, if this was your intent, well done.

If not, what the fuck are you doing

Trying not create an internet smear campaign without a shred of evidence. Guess I'm just a complete jerk.

You're doing good, M. Mod.

[–]NonerBonerCapitol Hill[S] 37ポイント38ポイント  (6子コメント)

Hi. I never posted a photo of the suspect. I posted an Imgur album with screenshots of the original Facebook post with real names and photos redacted. I included the alias name and in my text post said this man "posed as" [insert alias here]. I gave every indication the name was fake, but included it because I thought it was relevant. I never once posted a photo of the person in question. I'm not sure where you got that bit from.

Of course, as a mod, you err on the side of caution. Thanks for leaving this post up, at least.

Plot twist: The guy you're describing is a mod O.o

I didn't know - I was not the mod who removed that post.

I included the alias name and in my text post said this man "posed as" [insert alias here].

Right, but as noted, we have no way of knowing if that name is, in fact, an alias, or if you're just saying it is. Better to remove all names.

Of course, as a mod, you err on the side of caution.

Yes, that's what we do; try to err on the side of caution.

Thanks for leaving this post up, at least.

Thanks for being willing to work with us, and for not calling us names - as many others in this thread apparently think is a good idea.

This is very careless of them.

[–]balancetheuniverseWest Seattle 16ポイント17ポイント  (1子コメント)

The mods and users of this subreddit are exceptionally angsty.

I estimate this post will receive no fewer than thirty down votes.

Posing as porn recruiters and abusing women, perhaps.
