Here’s my two cents: I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with keeping this thread unlocked. BUT I think we should only really post if something new comes up (which is highly unlikely, at the moment)
I have to ask the mods: is it really worth hosting this conversation that clearly upsets so many people on and off the forum, in order to placate people like Junkie? Is it worth sowing discord and lumping us all in with the harassment these parasites are conducting just to find a 2 minute death video? I think it's a poison pill, and if the tape is ever found it'll be a pyrric victory at best.
Earlier in the thread, dycaite said words to the effect of "a lot of people come here to discuss the tape tho," as though the attention is a positive. I say it is not a positive when the people who come here are so unscrupulous. It looks like the mods approve of this behavior in the absence of any declaration to the contrary, and especially with the non-enforcement of the rules as pointed out by nostalgiaguy. That leaves a real bad taste in my mouth.
Not meaning to say it was a positive thing at all, it's just a fact; it's always been at the top of the most viewed pages... Morbid curiosity is a draw of the wiki and it always has been, like it or not. If we suddenly forbid people to discuss articles that we have on the site entirely, then we more than dip our toes into censorship territory, and I can see the backlash from that being much worse than the current situation. I'm just trying to take the path of least drama here... We thought having a single outlet on the forums to do that would suffice, but perhaps it's time we looked into another approach...
Also, we deleted the comment with links as soon as one of us saw it - Next time if you see something like this, please let us know on Discord or somewhere immediate so we can deal with it, well, immediately. It's no good saying "admins didn't delete this" when we don't even know about it yet... We're a small team and we rely on you guys to help point this stuff out to us sometimes.
Since a post was deleted, my last post got pushed back to the prior page and I just wanna make people very aware of it: there are to be NO MORE attempts to contact people related to NSFL cases. If we see you do it, you're out.

Thanks!
I just want to say that I will not voice my personal opinions on this search anymore because as a mod that wouldn't be appropriate. I will not stifle discussion or give anyone a hard time about what's passed. I don't want to make anyone feel like they're in a no win situation going forward because I voiced my criticisms of their actions earlier. I'll just be enforcing the rules that have already been laid down from here on out, nothing more and nothing less.

Those rules are what so we stay out of trouble? No contacting and no links?

Those are the two I was referring to specifically, yes. Just abide by those rules and I'll leave you to it. Should hopefully be a win-win for everybody.
If you ever feel I'm being unfair to you in my capacities as a mod, feel free to let me, Dycaite or one of the other mods know. I don't want to be seen as playing favorites or using my position to bully people.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to come back from my break! It's interesting to see this thread back up in action, but realistically I can't imagine much ground being tread other than back and forths on the authenticity of the audio (my opinion still being it is authentic) and the alleged "screenshot" (my opinion being it is a flagrant fabrication).
