facebook mishap

[Short Field]

If you don't want to see something posted on the squadron bulletin board, don't send it via e-mail or post it on-line.

im done with this post, ive got all the information that i want, and i want it deleated, no disrespect, but i have choises to, yah i may own it, in the same way that i own a trash can, and i want this in my trash can

[Майор Хаткевич]

You cannot delete this. Simple a that.

[HGjunkie]

I have to wonder, what does "deleate" mean?

[Major Lord]

Wouldn't that be sweet if we could just go back and erase some of the old things we said or did? Sorry, lad, its now in your permanent record. No " do-overs."

Some more advice. Go back and pay attention in English class, or make the best of the remaining ones you have coming.

Then he can 2B you and inflict the appropriate corporal punishment.

My dad was my Scoutmaster when I was a Scout.  It wasn't fun.  I had a rougher time than anyone else in the troop...I suppose it was him trying to prove he wasn't being partial to his kid.

One thing I try to emphasise to our cadets, almost ad nauseam, is that NOTHING you post or say on the Internet (including here) is truly "private."

Try and heed a2capt's advice...the "texting" era has made a butchery of the language.

One could make the argument that no lesson was learned in the discipline, and that further "explanation" is necessary.  Someone who
gets himself in trouble for online behavior, then causes further issues regarding the same subject and situation in a different forum clearly
doesn't understand the nature and inter-connectivity of these forums, much less Facebook, Google, etc.

Not exactly "lesson learned, move on".

Posting stuff on the internet is like saying something in public. Some people take longer than others to learn this.

By the way, Facebook privacy to avoid getting caught does not seem right with the core values to me. Just saying.

If you would just read your email notifications they clearly state:

Unsubscribe to this topic by using this link:

There is also a button at the bottom of the page Unnotify

I'm having trouble following the notion of not having your page wide open for people to see to be against the core values.

If you are ONLY locking down your page so you can bad mouth your peers or otherwise say things you should not......then you are violating the core values of integrity and respect.

Which, really, isn't the big issue. If you have a cadet bad-mouthing other people in CAP, regardless of privacy settings there's a core value problem.

I've heard of an issue on FB where one of the cadet staff noticed a post by a cadet where he/she was holding up a bottle of alcohol in celebration. When he/she called him/her on it, they un-friended them. Seems to be a constant occurrence where cadets and seniors forget they are bound to the code of conduct or core values, even when not in uniform or at CAP activities. Otherwise, what's the point of swearing an oath if you only mean for that oath to apply once a week for a couple hours.

You probably did not mean it in the manner it came across, but after the OP expressed regret about bad-mouthing people on Facebook you replied "That's why I keep my privacy settings set to[...]".  Obviously you get it why privacy settings do not absolve you of the core values, so nothing more need be said.

I would also like to add that sometimes privacy is necessary to discuss things frankly with someone. Social networking websites are not the appropriate avenue for such conversations. E-mail is only marginally better.

Just as an FYI to everyone, the privacy settings, sometimes don't work.  Sometimes people can still see what you have said, even if its in a private chat.

I'd like to see some sort of proof for that.

You're absolutely right. When you post it on a public forum like CAP Talk, it is no longer a truly private matter.

It's not an issue of what is (or isn't) "private" today, it's what might be tomorrow.  Zukerberg changes the TOS so often you literally need a scorecard to
keep up, and nothing, absolutely nothing, you put in there is shielded from the purveyors of soap.  It might be anonymized, but it isn't a secret internally.

You could very well wake up tomorrow to find Marie-Mark has decided that all your base are belong to him, and wide open for all to see.
You get what you pay for, which is one of twelve reasons why Facebook messaging was such a joke.

[flyboy53]

True.

The unfortunate lesson for this cadet is that once you post something on the Internet, it's public and goes EVERYWHERE!

The real lesson here is one of restraint, computer etiquette, and not to participate in what is essentially cyber bullying.
