I am posting with a serious concern regarding the domain situation, and with the background of a software engineer, not that this is all that technical of a concern. If this rogue mod is indeed rogue, why is thedonald.win still pointing to the epik nameservers?
If the rogue mod has not relinquished the domain, how did he allow the page (this page: https://i.gyazo.com/cfa0847c08ce932885335d1f90ea40c4.png) to be put up?
If the nameservers are still pointed at epik nameservers, why are we not still using thedonald.win as our domain name? Was this change intentionally implemented early in the day in the hopes that the rogue mod would not notice and immediately reconfigure the DNS?
Sorry to say, but we need more transparency regarding this issue. We need the full story. With everything that's been going on, particularly related to arrests of Trump supporters, and all that I personally have at risk, and everybody else here, the answers to the AMA did not satisfy me whatsoever.
For example, NO question regarding cryptographic canaries was answered. Aside from that, my above question regarding the compliance of the rogue mod was not answered. I do not want to risk my life and livelihood and my family pondering these issues in a political climate that specifically targets us.
I am asking for a full transparent break-down from the initial launch of why this rogue mod is indeed rogue, why we are not still using thedonald.win, and why it seems that this "rogue mod" is in full compliance of this transition given the page that links directly to patriots.win.
Things do not add up for me yet. I am an honest person even when people do not like what I say, and I expect the same from this community and especially the mods. That AMA post in my opinion should have been submitted with a full breakdown of all information related to this that does not compromise opsec. My apologies if this comes off as abrasive, however, like I said, in this climate, there is nothing more important than the security of the users here, and making the users feel secure being here.
Regards.
Then sell/give it to the mods who are staying and walk away. He wants $$ but wants the site cleaner.
Keep in mind that we do not know what is going on in this guy's life. If he's married (and especially if he's married and in the process of divorcing), depending on what state he's in, the domain he owns could be legally classified as a "marital asset" and he might not be legally able to give it away when it's certainly worth a significant chunk of change. There are states where a professional degree (e.g. JD or MD) earned while married is a "marital asset", an in a divorce, the other spouse is entitled to half the proceeds of the degree for the rest of the holder's life. Whatever is going on with Mr. Rogue-Mod, he didn't do anything to disable the site on its original domain before the inauguration. We should not be rushing to create angry, accusatory divisions between Trump supporters, and he almost certainly still is a Trump supporter.
Hey, no disrespect at all, but remove his name from your post. There is no doxing on this site. If there was I'd have put his name in my post. EDIT: But I 100% agree with you.
I just found a comment from u/Doggos that included "Still aren't allowing his name to be out there" https://communities.win/c/TheDonald/p/11SJoSzg0s/x/c/4Dvm6R3J6Yd so I've edited my comments to remove the name.
I think he's a public figure at this point. He did at least one on-camera media interview identifying himself as the domain owner, and is named in a recent WSJ article (not clear if he spoke directly to WSJ, but since the article doesn't attribute the comments to another source, I'm pretty sure he did). Of course, if the mods decree that his name should not be posted here, I'll comply. Edit: I just found a comment from u/Doggos that included "Still aren't allowing his name to be out there" https://communities.win/c/TheDonald/p/11SJoSzg0s/x/c/4Dvm6R3J6Yd so I've edited my comments to remove the name. But the mods have identified him as the person named in the WSJ article, so they aren't really trying to prevent anyone from learning his identity, or confirming that the person named in that article is the same as the "rogue mod" they're discussing.
Hey - I only said that because I saw a mod in some other post, I think the stickied one, where somebody identified the person and they issued a warning not to dox him because of the rules. I did not make the comment about the doxing for my purposes...I just don't want any potential real patriots to be banned from here.
EDIT: I am a big proponent of the fact that we need AS MANY people on our patriot team as possible to combat the fraud and corruption we are experiencing. But like I said I'm 100% in support of what you originally said.
