| About Corrupted-Justice.com |
| What is Corrupted-Justice.com? Corrupted-Justice.com is a civil rights organization. We are a group of like-minded people who are dedicated to bringing about an end to the harrassment and terrorism being perpetrated by the vigilante group Perverted-Justice.com using legal means. Back to top |
 |
| What is Perverted-Justice.com? Perverted-Justice.com is a loosely organized group of computer gamers, students, and the occasional well-meaning but misguided "reactionary" who's primary purpose is to bring about the complete destruction of the lives of anyone they determine is guilty of chatting with one of their "baiters". Their baiters troll internet chat rooms pretending to be young teen-aged girls in the hopes of entrapping men into sexually suggestive conversations. Once targeted, the PJ members scour the internet for all available information to publicly identify the target, his family, his employer, friends, associates, neighbors, etc. They then embark on a brutal harrassment campaign against anyone listed on their site via phone calls, internet messages, e-mails, neighborhood flyers, etc. Back to top |
|
| Isn't what Perverted Justice does illegal? Strictly speaking, the posting of publically accessible information is, in most cases, not illegal. What IS illegal is the harrassment campaign which follows the posting of a "bust". In addition, many questions are being asked about the sources of much of the information which is publically posted, such as DMV records and information contained in numerous confidential employee databases. The use of this information for purposes other than their intended purpose IS illegal. The subsequent harrassment and terrorization of their victims is also illegal. Back to top |
|
| Why haven't they been sued? There are currently a number of civil litigations being prepared against PJ, its owner, and contributers. Up until lately, it has been virtually impossible to bring suits against PJ and its members, as they are all completely anonymous. Identifying the major players would have been an exceptionally expensive and time-consuming process. Fortunately, volunteers from Corrupted-Justice.com have taken it upon themselves to perform the task of identifying PJ members using many of the same tactics which PJ uses in identifying their targets. To this point, upwards of 40 PJ members have been positively identified. Back to top |
|
| If you know their identities, why don't you post them? Corrupted-Justice.com is not law enforcement. We are NOT vigilantes. Rather than take the law into our own hands to attempt to affect retribution against PJ members, we have instead elected to keep all personal identification information secure and hidden from public view. Rather than releasing this information publically, we provide the details to lawyers who are representing those targeted by PJ. In a number of case preparations, we have been able to provide crucial information regarding the identities of many of the PJ members who participated in harrassment and "follow ups", as well as actual evidence of their participation gleaned from their own forums. All information is stored securely and provided to attorneys when requested. Back to top |
|
| Are Corrupted-Justice members former PJ "busts"? Absolutely not! None of the founding members of Corrupted-Justice.com have ever been "busted" by PJ. We are simply parents, teachers, students, professionals, and activists who abhor the blatant violations of civil rights being carried out on a daily basis by the people at PJ. We strongly believe that ALL witnessed criminal activity should be promptly reported to law enforcement officials in order to ensure innocent people are not snared in the PJ traps. Back to top |
|
| Do you help PJ "busts" escape justice? Not in the least! In fact, in most cases, we recommend that PJ victims immediately contact law enforcement! The assistance we provide to PJ targets, their family, their friends, neighbors, employers, attorneys, etc. is aimed at helping them to minimize PJ's "justice" - The justice handed out by a gang of anonymous vigilantes who's primary motivation appears to be the personal power which is generated by the ability to anonymously destroy a life. In a recent case, it was actually OUR members who contacted law enforcement regarding one of their targets because they refused to do so. Back to top |
|
| Do you tell "busts" to destroy their hard drives? NEVER!! In every case when we make contact with a PJ target, we make every effort to ensure that ALL evidence is kept fully intact. In the vast majority of PJ's "busts", the evidence of the ongoing harrassment campaign, hacking attempts, etc. are all contained on the target's computer. A successful civil suit against PJ may very well depend on this information remaining viable for examination by forensics experts. In a recent case, OUR members decided to contact the police to report a particular "bust" where PJ refused to do so. By the time the police arrived at the target's home, he had already been tipped-off by PJ and had destroyed his hard drive. Rather than helping to solve the internet predator problem, PJ is allowing predators to escape real justice by not contacting law enforcement and instead, giving these dangerous people a perfect opportunity to destroy the evidence of their wrongdoing.

| Login and Registration Issues |
| Why can't I log in? Have you registered? Seriously, you must register in order to log in. Have you been banned from the board? (A message will be displayed if you have.) If so, you should contact the webmaster or board administrator to find out why. If you have registered and are not banned and you still cannot log in then check and double-check your username and password. Usually this is the problem; if not, contact the board administrator -- they may have incorrect configuration settings for the board. Back to top |
|
| Why do I need to register at all? You may not have to -- it is up to the administrator of the board as to whether you need to register in order to post messages. However, registration will give you access to additional features not available to guest users such as definable avatar images, private messaging, emailing to fellow users, usergroup subscription, etc. It only takes a few minutes to register so it is recommended you do so. Back to top |
|
| Why do I get logged off automatically? If you do not check the Log me in automatically box when you log in, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university cluster, etc. Back to top |
|
| How do I prevent my username from appearing in the online user listings? In your profile you will find an option Hide your online status; if you switch this on you'll only appear to board administrators or to yourself. You will be counted as a hidden user. Back to top |
|
| I've lost my password! Don't panic! While your password cannot be retrieved it can be reset. To do this go to the login page and click I've forgotten my password. Follow the instructions and you should be back online in no time. Back to top |
|
| I registered but cannot log in! First check that you are entering the correct username and password. If they are okay then one of two things may have happened: if COPPA support is enabled and you clicked the I am under 13 years old link while registering then you will have to follow the instructions you received. If this is not the case then maybe your account need activating. Some boards will require all new registrations be activated, either by yourself or by the administrator before you can log on. When you registered it would have told you whether activation was required. If you were sent an email then follow the instructions; if you did not receive the email then check that your email address is valid. One reason activation is used is to reduce the possibility of rogue users abusing the board anonymously. If you are sure the email address you used is valid then try contacting the board administrator. Back to top |
|
| I registered in the past but cannot log in anymore! The most likely reasons for this are: you entered an incorrect username or password (check the email you were sent when you first registered) or the administrator has deleted your account for some reason. If it is the latter case then perhaps you did not post anything? It is usual for boards to periodically remove users who have not posted anything so as to reduce the size of the database. Try registering again and get involved in discussions. Back to top |
|
| User Preferences and settings |
| How do I change my settings? All your settings (if you are registered) are stored in the database. To alter them click the Profile link (generally shown at the top of pages but this may not be the case). This will allow you to change all your settings. Back to top |
|
| The times are not correct! The times are almost certainly correct; however, what you may be seeing are times displayed in a timezone different from the one you are in. If this is the case, you should change your profile setting for the timezone to match your particular area, e.g. London, Paris, New York, Sydney, etc. Please note that changing the timezone, like most settings, can only be done by registered users. So if you are not registered, this is a good time to do so, if you pardon the pun! Back to top |
|
| I changed the timezone and the time is still wrong! If you are sure you have set the timezone correctly and the time is still different, the most likely answer is daylight savings time (or summer time as it is known in the UK and other places). The board is not designed to handle the changeovers between standard and daylight time so during summer months the time may be an hour different from the real local time. Back to top |
|
| My language is not in the list! The most likely reasons for this are either the administrator did not install your language or someone has not translated this board into your language. Try asking the board administrator if they can install the language pack you need or if it does not exist, please feel free to create a new translation. More information can be found at the phpBB Group website (see link at bottom of pages) Back to top |
|
| How do I show an image below my username? There may be two images below a username when viewing posts. The first is an image associated with your rank; generally these take the form of stars or blocks indicating how many posts you have made or your status on the forums. Below this may be a larger image known as an avatar; this is generally unique or personal to each user. It is up to the board administrator to enable avatars and they have a choice over the way in which avatars can be made available. If you are unable to use avatars then this is the decision of the board admin and you should ask them their reasons (we're sure they'll be good!) Back to top |
|
| How do I change my rank? In general you cannot directly change the wording of any rank (ranks appear below your username in topics and on your profile depending on the style used). Most boards use ranks to indicate the number of posts you have made and to identify certain users. For example, moderators and administrators may have a special rank. Please do not abuse the board by posting unnecessarily just to increase your rank -- you will probably find the moderator or administrator will simply lower your post count. Back to top |
|
| When I click the email link for a user it asks me to log in. Sorry, but only registered users can send email to people via the built-in email form (if the admin has enabled this feature). This is to prevent malicious use of the email system by anonymous users. Back to top |
|
| Posting Issues |
| How do I post a topic in a forum? Easy -- click the relevant button on either the forum or topic screens. You may need to register before you can post a message. The facilities available to you are listed at the bottom of the forum and topic screens (the You can post new topics, You can vote in polls, etc. list) Back to top |
|
| How do I edit or delete a post? Unless you are the board admin or forum moderator you can only edit or delete your own posts. You can edit a post (sometimes for only a limited time after it was made) by clicking the edit button for the relevant post. If someone has already replied to the post, you will find a small piece of text output below the post when you return to the topic that lists the number of times you edited it. This will only appear if no one has replied; it also will not appear if moderators or administrators edit the post (they should leave a message saying what they altered and why). Please note that normal users cannot delete a post once someone has replied. Back to top |
|
| How do I add a signature to my post? To add a signature to a post you must first create one; this is done via your profile. Once created you can check the Add Signature box on the posting form to add your signature. You can also add a signature by default to all your posts by checking the appropriate radio box in your profile. You can still prevent a signature being added to individual posts by un-checking the add signature box on the posting form. Back to top |
|
| How do I create a poll? Creating a poll is easy -- when you post a new topic (or edit the first post of a topic, if you have permission) you should see a Add Poll form below the main posting box. If you cannot see this then you probably do not have rights to create polls. You should enter a title for the poll and then at least two options -- to set an option type in the poll question and click the Add option button. You can also set a time limit for the poll, 0 being an infinite amount. There will be a limit to the number of options you can list, which is set by the board administrator Back to top |
|
| How do I edit or delete a poll? As with posts, polls can only be edited by the original poster, a moderator, or board administrator. To edit a poll, click the first post in the topic, which always has the poll associated with it. If no one has cast a vote then users can delete the poll or edit any poll option. However, if people have already placed votes only moderators or administrators can edit or delete it; this is to prevent people rigging polls by changing options mid-way through a poll Back to top |
|
| Why can't I access a forum? Some forums may be limited to certain users or groups. To view, read, post, etc. you may need special authorization which only the forum moderator and board administrator can grant, so you should contact them. Back to top |
|
| Why can't I vote in polls? Only registered users can vote in polls so as to prevent spoofing of results. If you have registered and still cannot vote then you probably do not have appropriate access rights. Back to top |
|
| Formatting and Topic Types |
| What is BBCode? BBCode is a special implementation of HTML. Whether you can use BBCode is determined by the administrator. You can also disable it on a per post basis from the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML: tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed. For more information on BBCode see the guide which can be accessed from the posting page. Back to top |
|
| Can I use HTML? That depends on whether the administrator allows you to; they have complete control over it. If you are allowed to use it, you will probably find only certain tags work. This is a safety feature to prevent people from abusing the board by using tags which may destroy the layout or cause other problems. If HTML is enabled you can disable it on a per post basis from the posting form. Back to top |
|
| What are Smileys? Smileys, or Emoticons, are small graphical images which can be used to express some feeling using a short code, e.g. :) means happy, :( means sad. The full list of emoticons can be seen via the posting form. Try not to overuse smileys, though, as they can quickly render a post unreadable and a moderator may decide to edit them out or remove the post altogether. Back to top |
|
| Can I post Images? Images can indeed be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed). Back to top |
|
| What are Announcements? Announcements often contain important information and you should read them as soon as possible. Announcements appear at the top of every page in the forum to which they are posted. Whether or not you can post an announcement depends on the permissions required, which are set by the administrator. Back to top |
|
| What are Sticky topics? Sticky topics appear below any announcements in viewforum and only on the first page. They are often quite important so you should read them where possible. As with announcements the board administrator determines what permissions are required to post sticky topics in each forum. Back to top |
|
| What are Locked topics? Locked topics are set this way by either the forum moderator or board administrator. You cannot reply to locked topics and any poll contained inside is automatically ended. Topics may be locked for many reasons. Back to top |
|
| User Levels and Groups |
| What are Administrators? Administrators are people assigned the highest level of control over the entire board. These people can control all facets of board operation which include setting permissions, banning users, creating usergroups or moderators, etc. They also have full moderator capabilities in all the forums. Back to top |
|
| What are Moderators? Moderators are individuals (or groups of individuals) whose job it is to look after the running of the forums from day to day. They have the power to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally moderators are there to prevent people going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material. Back to top |
|
| Private Messaging |
| I cannot send private messages! There are three reasons for this; you are not registered and/or not logged on, the board administrator has disabled private messaging for the entire board, or the board administrator has prevented you individually from sending messages. If it is the latter case you should try asking the administrator why. Back to top |
|
| I keep getting unwanted private messages! In the future we will be adding an ignore list to the private messaging system. For now, though, if you keep receiving unwanted private messages from someone, inform the board administrator -- they have the power to prevent a user from sending private messages at all. Back to top |
|
| I have received a spamming or abusive email from someone on this board! We are sorry to hear that. The email form feature of this board includes safeguards to try to track users who send such posts. You should email the board administrator with a full copy of the email you received and it is very important this include the headers (these list details of the user that sent the email). They can then take action. Back to top |
