You should really PM a "God" or "Mod" ... 'twould be faster.
That was a horrible, HORRIBLE pun and you should be ashamed of yourself.xsedrinam said:They'd be deleted to help you.

You cannot conduct business with other students who go to that school, without reporting it to your teacher. No one really follows it though
Agreed, which is why I suggested a PM to Q... but there'd be no proof that that identity belonged to a student, and we're not in the habit of handing out email addresses.CanadaRAM said:It doesn't matter that the online ID is non traceable backwards in some scenarios --- for example once the OP's online nick is known by someone else at their end, then it wouldn't take much to check and see if they (or another identical nickname) are on this site.

mkrishnan said:Were the posts somehow related to adult content, or something illegal, or somehow related to other students or faculty or something? Why on earth would they care about someone being on a forum like Macrumors?

Boggle said:NO, YOU DON'T! Schools can set any mandate chosen by the school board, that does not mean that any student in that system must abide by the conditions of that mandate off of school property or after school hours. No institution of the government (which includes all public schools in the US) may specify conduct of citizens (including minors) outside the parameters of the institutions realm of responsibility.
In other words, when your parents are responsible for your behavior, which is all the time when you are not @ school and under 18. The school cannot make rules about your behavior. US SC Tinker v. Des Moines 1969
This case was about war protests but it set the precedent that students had the right to participate in any legal activity off school grounds, and not on school time no matter what the school's regulations might say.
end of song.
Good point. Still, one wonders how MR could be considered a corrupting influence.CanadaRAM said:Except in the case of bording schools, who assume 24 hour responsibility in loco parentis...
