davita wroteIMO..That's very serious BSB...are you saying a forum member actually knew another forum member's name and status and reported to authorities about some knowledge gained from something said on this forum?
Was this information trivial or of a serious crime?
It would be useful if some of the events were described so current members were better informed of this possibility.
The information passed on stated that a member of this forum was 'working as a journalist without a KITAS or Accreditation'
As the 'accused' person used their working name and made no secret of the general area where they lived, it did not take long for the men in tight shirts to put two and two together.
However, where the informer cocked up royally was, the 'accused' did indeed write several articles that were published in printed magazines, but they never took a fee for them. This still did not stop the MITS trying from to say that writing for a magazine or posting an online article is actually 'working' without a KITAS albeit unpaid, and it was then pointed out that therefore everyone who posts any text on any forum, and that includes FB and Twitter, must be guilty as well.
They went away to think about it and never came back.
