IRCop from DALnet claims IRCCloud shares personal user data with them reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lasagnabrigade · 2020-03-05 00:22 Is there any truth to this? Or is this IRCop [*Sara\_KS@staff.dalnet*] (https://www.dal.net/admin/teams.php?nick=Sara_Ks) posturing by attempting to sow doubt about [IRCCloud's policy](https://www.irccloud.com/abuse) that claims they do not disclose personal user data? https://preview.redd.it/6zcy1lnuxqk41.png?width=1015&format=png&auto=w ebp&s=bf0ed44a9ac1662b00e6927939f84f60e754ffcb ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Koda239 · 2020-03-05 02:22 Yeah, I'm gonna call bullshit. If IRCCloud is a legitimate company, with a loyal customer base, there isn't a chance in hell they're going to risk their reputation for one network. They'll laugh and move on to the next. Edit: Pretty sad that she's a member of their help desk. With that attitude, I'd hate to see what the rest of their "customer service" is like. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- combo187 · 2020-03-05 02:37 probably true, i've seen people using free accounts get their accounts terminated ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IlluminatiEnrollment · 2020-03-05 02:51 I'd start with not putting too much stock in anything you read on DALnet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2020-03-05 03:35 [deleted] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- scriminal · 2020-03-05 04:38 I don't know anything for sure, but this isn't the first time I've heard shady things about Irccloud ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arcalion · 2020-03-05 04:54 Completely agree that the concept that IRCCloud would share user data with any network is bullshit...however...nowhere in the log posted does Sara_KS actually state that IRCCloud shares personal user data with DALnet. Note also that the log is snipped after the first statement, but before the first alleged statement of Sara_KS. All she states is that DALnet/she has a good relationship with IRCCloud, and that IRCCloud doesn't tolerate abuse. Both of those things are plausible statements that a staff member might say to someone who was a serial abuser. Also worth noting that lasagnabrigade just registered his reddit account today, has no post history beyond this post, and even has the word "brigade" in the username. Hello, brigading? "wtguck" also isn't a registered nickname on DALnet. Why would helpdesk staff care what a person's real IP address was anyway if the person trolling is using other ones? What does that gain the network? None of this passes the smell test for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lasagnabrigade · 2020-03-05 05:38 It's not too hard to follow. The first comment makes an accusation that she has a history of claiming IRCCloud "admin will give her people's 'real ip'". The subsequent comment is her acknowledging, agreeing, and expounding upon it, "lol, yup and...". It's snipped because she responded to the first comment by using /notice instead of responding in channel, and all subsequent communication was via /notice which gets piped to the server window in IRCCloud. The (private) string preceding her comments also gives that away. Anyone who uses IRCCloud can confirm that behavior. She thought she was being sneaky. lasagnabrigade is a randomly generated nick from a random username generator because I'm really bad at thinking of nicks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2020-03-05 07:39 [removed] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2020-03-05 08:30 Faaaaaaake. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Nicd · 2020-03-05 10:02 IRCCloud's response: https://twitter.com/IRCCloud/status/1235504579938152449 > This is completely untrue, and we have been informed by DALnet that this conversation has been edited to appear misleading. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- l0de · 2020-03-05 16:39 It's easy to deduce this is fake because no one gives a fuck about DALnet. They have zero leverage in negotiating with Jwheare. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- onebts · 2020-03-07 03:08 DALnet is a has-been....! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- acidvegas · 2020-03-26 14:07 It is not that they "share" your information. It is more so that your privacy is easily infringed upon. IRCCloud was exposed for this a little over a year ago.
