According to the Cadet Handbook, each afternoon, the "Commandant's List" is read out, containing the names of cadets who have been reported for violations of rules. They are asked to report to the Commandant's office ("The Porch") to receive a paddling, described in the handbook as "CD" for Corporal Discipline.

CD is provided with an oak paddle in a formal daily ceremony at "The Porch" under the personal supervision of the Commandant or the Principal, who decides on the number of licks to be administered in each case; no maximum number is laid down. All cadets due to be spanked wait together on the front porch and are called into the office one by one. The cadet is told to turn around, bend over and grab the door frame, and his pants and boxers are then lowered just far enough to bare the target area. Next a very short prayer is said, and then the licks are delivered by a powerfully-built athletic member of staff. The "pants down" policy, once standard in many military schools but now unusual in America, adds to the deterrent effect of the punishment by providing a degree of embarrassment as well as serious pain, and also means that the paddling is fair and equal for everyone irrespective of how many pairs of underwear they may have put on. The spanking procedure is semi-private: it can be heard by others on the porch but is seen only in silhouette through the frosted glass of the office door.

The article's primary editor is Alarics (T-C-L-K-R-D) , who's favorite subject area is corporal punishment and torture (see his contributions).

As for Chamberlain-Hunt Academy, if DeviantArt.com is now considered a "reliable source" for negative information about a school, can 4chan and Encyclopedia Dramatica be far behind?

The paddle is the almost invariable implement in US schools that still allow corporal punishment for student misconduct. Typically, with two or more administrators present, the student is told to bend over a desk or chair and receives the prescribed number of strokes of the paddle, normally in an office, but sometimes in a hallway. In the vast majority of cases the punishment is delivered across the lower seat of the student's normal trousers or jeans; it would be unthinkable nowadays, in ordinary schools, for the student to be required to lower these, though that might have happened in some places in the past, especially by sports coaches. Nowadays, where sports coaches still spank, the offender will typically wear PE shorts and a jockstrap so that there is only only one thin layer of clothing between the paddle and the buttocks. "Pants-down" paddling used to be common some strict military boarding schools, and remains a possibility in a very few, such as Chamberlain-Hunt Academy in Mississippi.

Thank you for your edits, Krimpet, but I wonder how long it will be before Alarics challenges you as he did to this IP's change? I think Alarics owns that article.

The school has advertised for students in the past under the slogan "We Love Boys; We Build Men".[4]

The Porch at CHA is traditionally synonyous with getting licks. CHA President Jack West joked in the school's newsletter in 2008 that the new "Snack break" policy would not mean "getting brownies on The Porch instead of licks".[20]

The emphasis on disciplinary spankings at Chamberlain-Hunt is a long-standing tradition. In 1951 a former Commandant of the school related that one cadet's mother had asked that her son be brought hot chocolate in the morning before getting up. The Commandant replied, "Madam, this is a military school, and if he doesn't get up when everyone else does, he will get something hot all right, but it won't be chocolate".[21]

Clearly the goal of this erstwhile poet and spankee was artistic, not factual.

...dubious writing like this only survives because there's no eyes on it.

Yeah, only about a thousand page views per month on a website that anyone can edit. I can see why garbage like this would "survive" so long in such a desolate corner of the world's sixth-most popular domain.

Paging Mr. Horse!

I've got another freak for "the book", Alarics (T-C-L-K-R-D) !
He's into spanking and stuff......and he likes to edit school articles!

(And I might point out, he loves to edit articles dealing with Singapore.
Mebbe that's where he got his first caning?)

This reminds me of Arcarius, who has made many fine contributions to Spankopedia, including this strange one on garden furniture

Ah, I remember Arcarius, and his obsession with sneaking an inane picture of frat boys' asses into the "Boy" article. I've no clue whether Arcarius and Alarics are one in the same or not - Arcarius appears to be Dutch, while Alarics is particularly obsessed with Singaporean topics - but their M.O. is certainly the same, and both should be dealt with the same way.

I found a spanking wiki (apparently the material from the old Wikia site reincarnated) and it has nothing on the Chamberlain-Hunt Academy. I think that makes it very likely it's a hoax.

http://spankingartwiki.animeotk.com/wiki/Wikia

Unfortunately, a Spanish-version of the Spanking Art wiki has now returned to Wikia. I wonder how long it will last there?

Well, as seen above, IP editors tried to remove the creepy material from the article, but they got reverted.

You would think that a school doing this sort of punishment would have a lot of stories about it, but I can't find any.

Thankfully, it appears to be dead - all links heading from that page return the error "Not a valid Wikia." The main page only appears to be sticking around due to some sort of caching.

Actually this is commonplace in states which permit it, last I checked (which I'll admit wasn't so recent).

That's why routine semi-protection is the answer to everything, right?

In my research efforts to find out if CHA actually did it, I never found any testimonies from any CHA alumni about the pants-down paddling procedure (save one on a blog I mentioned earlier).

And the solution to news websites printing libels is to make them user-editable, right?

That's why routine semi-protection is the answer to everything, right?

I've tried to help the article out a little by actually going to the source about what "physical" punishment entails. I am getting a bit annoyed at the urge to put every private school in the country in; these articles are vandalism magnets ("notable alumni: Bob the jackass").

That guy is rather disturbing, isn't he? This talk page section seems to give a quick idea of his general POV.

Alarics is Colin Farrell*, the proprietor of World Corporal Punishment Research. He's an old man who says he's been fascinated with the subject since he witnessed it in school as a child.



*No, he's not the same Colin Farrell who's not dating Lee Dennison.

I thought he actually was a scholar on corporal punishment and not some nut? I guess we know the answer now.

I see a problem with situations where the individuals adding the libel have write-access while those seeking to remove it do not (unless by some coincidence they have four days of previous unrelated editing experience).

Major offences

A pupil found in possession of a lighter is presumed to be intending to smoke even though no cigarettes are found. Possession of playing cards or betting with monetary incentives are considered gambling. Students who commit these and other major offences, such as smoking or truancy, are given corporal punishment (strokes of the cane). In serious cases, the caning may be administered in front of all the other students.

I think if you look closer you'll find I haven't been spamming corpun.com on Wikipedia. Many of the links to that site were put there by others, not by me. (I have myself REMOVED references to corpun.com put there by other editors, when I know there is a more direct citation available.) I only cite it when there is no other source for that item. In the great majority of cases those are respectable news items not otherwise available on line (bear in mind that the great majority of corpun.com consists of a huge archive of historical press articles) -- "convenience links" I think they are called in WP. Those surely are reliable sources, unless you are suggesting that they have been made up. I think someone who takes a few minutes to explore the site, and reads its "About this site" page, will see that it is not the sort of site that makes things up. The relatively few bits of corpun.com that use anecdotal sources (not RS in WP terms) make clear that that is all they are, and I would never cite those on WP. Likewise, any opinion is clearly separated from fact, just as with a good newspaper.
As for Wikipedia Review, it seems to be an anti-Wikipedia site that hates everybody on here, interprets everything in the worst possible light, and assumes bad faith at all times. Its tone is hysterical and abusive, and it jumps to all sorts of conclusions. Most of what they say about me and my edits is incorrect. Everybody makes a mistake occasionally, but I think my overall editing record, if anyone has the time and energy to go through it in detail, will stand scrutiny. I am quite happy to discuss any individual instances that people have problems with.
On the substantive issue, I have never on WP pushed a particular POV on corporal punishment and include both pro- and anti- points of view when opinions are discussed, though most is neutral factual material. To come back to Paddle (spanking), the only inline reference citing corpun.com now is to the "list of handbooks of schools which say themselves that they use the paddle" pages, which is just a list of external links that, as I said before, do turn out, when you click on them, so be what they say they are. So I cannot see how that is an unreliable source or in any way partisan. No such list is available anywhere else, as far as I know. -- Alarics (talk) 07:39, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Alarics speaks!

[...] He's been drinking the Wikipedia Kool-Aid and he's a liar. He does own the corporal punishment articles and has slowly edit warred with others who have disagreed with him.

Now the question is, how will Wikipedia deal with him?

There are no lies in anything I have ever written. I don't do lying.

Okay, then be honest with us -- if you came home and found Newyorkbrad in your bathroom, luxuriating in a lavender-aloe bubble bath while singing aloud the score of "Camelot," how would you react?

(Things like this do happen, trust me.)

All editors get into disagreements with others occasionally, but I have not engaged in any sustained edit-warring. I have never broken the 3RR rule.

Kindly desist from your personal attacks.

Me, I'm glad you turned up to talk about this matter...

I've never heard of Newyorkbrad.

You never heard of Newyorkbrad? Have you been living under a rock?

Not necessarily. It is probably because Brad has no interest in BDSM, and accordingly is not a part of that "community". Sometimes being "boring" is good, or at least, just as well.

[*]This isn't Wikipedia and WP:NPA doesn't apply
[/list]
Hope that helps. Because if you don't keep that second point in mind you tend to get flambe'ed here. Me, I'm glad you turned up to talk about this matter... you may want to review the whole thread.

I also have no interest in BDSM. That's nothing atall to do with the matter in hand.

I wasn't going to bother to come on here, but I am not going to stand idly by while people accuse me of being a liar. There are no lies in what I wrote. There are no lies in anything I have ever written. I don't do lying.

You really don't do your case any good by throwing wild, unsubstantiated libels around. If you think something I have written is untrue, specify it and we can discuss it.

I'm not sure what you mean by saying I "own the corporal punishment articles". I was a prime mover, with the agreement of other editors, in reorganising them because they were previously an incoherent mess. I started "school corporal punishment" and "corporal punishment in the home" and "judicial corporal punishment" as spin-offs from "corporal punishment". I did not write anything like all the text. Much of it already existed. Naturally I do not claim any proprietorial rights over these articles. If anything User:Gabbe watches them more closely than I do. He introduced the corporal punishment template, which has helped create an identity for a linked family of sites. I cannot see that there is anything wrong with any of this. It has all been entirely transparent. Nobody has ever objected before.
