"Sins Advisor" ...... Well what could go wrong?
Discussion
So there is a page on social media and no doubt other places where scorned women can name an individual and then post his "sins".
As well intentioned as this was probably set out to be, I can see it being an absolute cluster f
k of SWT's having a dig at guys.
Surely Claire's Law should give the info they require and its from an official source?
Whats to stop a pissed off ex going on and accusing you of being the devil incarnate with no burden of proof?

I have serious reservations about naming and shaming online in this way. Instead of naming and shaming individuals, a societal shift to viewing domestic abuse as abhorrent and the preserve of the pathetic is probably the better way.
The problem with this is that it makes the group 'judge, jury and executioner', meaning that an abusive partner could make false allegations as a form of abusive in itself. Women can perpetrate abuse too, this may actually provide a vehicle for female perpetrators to do just that.

I'm sure there will be plenty of that on there. So much so that it will become pretty meaningless (I guess like fake reviews on Amazon/Tripadvisor/etc)Besides, I know a few women who are very good at ignoring all the warning signs and get involved with a complete a
hole anyway, then wonder why it all goes wrong.Oakey said:
Why was the thread title changed? It's called 'Prick Advisor', as per the BBC article.
Oh well we cannot have pricks causing offence to anyone 
Looks like FB has closed one down which had 100K members already.
As others have said if I put a pic of my Ex on FB with claims of the stuff she did to me with her name etc and it was searchable it would not last very long. I agree with warning others of dangerous Ex's but thats what the law was brought in to help with. Having this sort of info indexed and searchable by others is just asking for trouble, no matter how well intentioned the initial premise was.
