I want to reorganize everybody that is a person of interest into a subforum. It does not mean we have to have multiple threads on each person. What it does mean is that I can incorporate a running Twitter feed into a separate page for each person and place it in their respective subforum rather than searching all over Twitter. If possible, I am going to try to do that with other social media such as public Facebook feeds, Instagram, and so forth so we are continuously updated on all of the people of interest. Does this sound like a plan?
 
We need update the no personal address policy. Normally I don't like to publicly list the residence of a person of interest but I am going to update this because there is a flurry of activity. I am going to allow it if: The person has already listed their residence on their public media or the person has already been doxed numerous times (and would not make any appreciable difference posting it).

I didn't realize that we had a no-doxing policy, but my personal rule of thumb is that if I can't find it on a web search as being a name/address/phone number with an easily provable link to the person of interest, I don't post it. For example, I did some digging with a piece of information in one of Turncoat's posts on Luna Prey's KF thread, and I came up with Luna's old address in Florida, as well as a potential real last name. However, that's not easily obtainable information, and it's not relevant to the thread as she has moved out of FL, so I didn't put it in the OP.

Twitter/Facebook/Instagram feed from the same account? How's that going to work? That's a lot of integration work for something that isn't going to get looked at very often unless it's a social media account with a lot of followers who actively engage with its posts. Additionally, some of the people of interest just don't have that much going on these days, so an entire subforum for some dude in Uganda who lives in a tree and eats bats to cure homosexuality probably is overkill (an example - not sure if that's actually a thread here).

If you do decide to implement this, I would at least pin the main thread and hope that the person who wrote the OP maintains it with new info as it comes up in either that thread or any of the others in that subforum.

It's very simple just have a separate page for Twitter feeds, one for Facebook, one for Instagram under the same subforum. If we get enough from one thread, that won't change in a subforum.
 
As you may have already known, I have been struggling on what kind of material to add that is best suited for our unique forum. So I have something here that I think will work out pretty good. I started this with SecretGamerGrrl. I went onto his twitter and I took a look on who he follows and decided to trawl through this. I used the following filters to weed twitter followers out.
No commercial twitter followers
No obvious celebrities (such as the Kardashians. I will have a separate strategy for that).
The twitter account must have a following of at least 20,000 but if there is a particular account of interest, I will consider an exception.
If there is a linktr.ee that is especially good.

I want to take these twitter accounts that I have sifted out and created separate sub-forums for each. I figure at least one page for the Twitter feed and at least one thread to start the discussion going. I have already started this with 4 of them and I have a lot more I can add. There are other cows out there in the Twitterverse that we can start to trawl as well.
