I would be interested to know how many BFL related posts were ever deleted. I am sure it is a lot if 3k+ users had their deleted posts released. I can only imagine the poor staff attorney who has to go through all the posts on the various threads, especially the ones with the ridiculous pictures (that I have read about), many of which I am sure are NSFW.

There were probably BFL threads in almost every section.

I would guess that this probably has something to do with why one of the BFL threads was recently apparently locked.

I wonder how many of those posts/messages were from Bruno?  Cheesy

That does sound like a lot of hassle indeed. I hope it's worth it. Also you probably did the right thing by PM-ing those who had there PMs exposed. It's a good time to remind people that PM stands for personal message, not private message...

Do/did you get any compensation for the effort you had to put into this?

Well he probably should have been compensated for his time and effort but I bet he wasn't. Seems like a mammoth task to collect all that info.

plus a complete copy of every thread in which anyone mentioned BFL

LOL.

This is pretty much the whole forum, right? Cheesy

They should just do that themselves if they really wanted it.

I recently received a subpoena related to a case against BFL (Case No. 14-CV-2159-KHV-JPO). I had to release all database info on a few employees/ex-employees of BFL (including their PMs), plus a complete copy of every thread in which anyone mentioned BFL or in which a BFL employee participated. (It was a huge hassle to put all of this info together.) The subpoena originally demanded all PMs that even mentioned BFL, which is ridiculous, but I managed to get this part eliminated.

If a PM of yours was released due to this, then I already sent you a PM about it.

I don't think that I'm going to send PMs about deleted posts that were released. 3196 users had deleted posts released, and I don't really want to send that many PMs when almost no one would care. I feel like people should have basically no expectation of privacy for something that they posted publicly anyway.

I also released all "report to moderator" reports involving or mentioning BFL. I don't think that these are very sensitive, so I'm not going to send out PMs about these.
