Can a mod force a user to take the names of other jellies off their profile?

Allow me to elaborate, if a jelly has other jellies names in their profile with favorite quotes of a past thread, can the user who’s name is displayed ask a mod to get their name removed from that jellies profile?

Do you think the jelly being displayed on another profile has a right to have their name removed?

Why or why not?

If someone is making a direct quote I don’t see why it would be a problem having it displayed somewhere else unless it is taken out of context.
This is the Internet. Once it’s out there it IS out there. That’s why we should choose our words wisely.

Pretty sure, no.

If you are being quoted accurately, what grounds would you have? I think your best bet would be to ask the user nicely in a PM.

I wonder if the OP has received a PM from someone to remove their displayed name OR they will have the mods remove it.

Just to be polite, I would ask permission before posting.

Mods also have the power to frisk you, and make you frisk them.

Or so I was told.

Anyone that dislikes the quotes I’ve put on my profile can PM me to discuss it. Most likely I’ll be happy to take down anything there that bothers you.

The only quotes I will not remove are the ones that were directed at me, for example the one where someone publicly called me a “god damn troll”.

If we’re talking about profiles like @FutureMemory,‘s where they are accurate direct quotes, I don’t think we’d have any grounds to insist it be removed.

However, we have had a case where a member used his profile to post something negative about another member (not a quote), and we did remove it.

If you don’t want your name on someone else’s profile politely ask that Jelly to remove it.
I don’t know of anyone who wouldn’t take it down, if you ask nicely.

@FutureMemory “Fuck this shit” I say to you. I think it is hilarious that that was my most memorable quote for you.

FutureMemory's avatar

Wow, an entire question about ‘lil old me. I should feel honored. Next time just send a PM.

@janbb It represents how sometimes threads get to that point where all one can think of saying is “enough already!”. It’s a good one.

Not sure, but they can demand a cavity search.
