Rereading Jaeger's post, the argument seems to be that the pingback itself is an invasion of privacy, whether it reports anything or not. I'm not sure I agree with that, but I suppose it's debatable.
The link above gives details on the student's infraction:HAR!Robbins told reporters outside his house last night that the improper behavior he was cited for was eating Mike & Ike candies, which he said the school mistook for illegal pills.

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.

Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.

By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.

Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

I remember in some sci-fi Japanese anime (damn that's redundant) I watched many years ago, there were people who had microchip implants that blurred their faces on cameras. Worked on every camera. I'm starting to wish we had this tech.

@ Bigshankhank - I read a study that said not only does that movie make everyone who sees it shit their pants, but if you leave a load of laundry in front of the telly when that movie is on they will shit themselves.
@ Rev - Holy crap I forgot about that! That is such a killer idea, and I saw some led MC license plate frames the other day too
Oh man, now I want to make a suit and crash the set of that stupid ghost hunting show

Privacy trumps security in Webcam spying caseOctober 21, 2010 by Jake Simms
Posted in: Special Report
Protecting school-owned computer equipment just got trickier. Here’s why:
Lower Merion Township (PA) school district will pay $610,000 to settle a class-action spying case.
Students complained the school district spied on them via the Webcams on school-owned laptops. IT staffers snapped images of one student, Blake Robbins, sleeping in his bedroom and eating Mike and Ike candies.
After seeing the candy-eating picture, assistant principal suspected Robbins of popping pills and disciplined the student. Robbins’ family then sued the school district for invasion of privacy.
Other families joined the lawsuit soon after.
Time to throw in the towel
The school district argued that it only activated the Webcam surveillance program when a laptop went missing. Families are required to pay a $50 security fee for laptops and Robbins’ parents didn’t pay the fee.
Instead of demanding the student bring the laptop back, the school spied on Robbins. Now he has a $175,000 trust fund waiting for him.
School board president David Ebby says everyone’s learned a hard lesson:
“The district acknowledged and apologized for any mistakes … We revised our policies and procedures, reaffirmed our commitment to technology and put safeguards into place to ensure the privacy of our students, staff and school families.”
