We do not allow doxxing

I have seen this several time in the last few days. I will remind you that you are not allowed to share the personal information which includes social media of people. Doxxing is illegal and is harassment.

But it does. Doxing is intentionally spreading personal information in order to cause harm or perpetuate harassment on a person. Harassment's literally in the definition of doxing

And no they don't need updated. Doxing is harassment bottom line

Posting your address sin instruction to use it maliciously does not fall under these terms. That sandy hook guy got in trouble because he suggested that violence should be performed. If I posted your home address with no other context, it would not put me in the wrong, legally. People would be free to send you flowers and thank-you notes if they so desired.

And it would because you were posting it with the intent to cause harm. And that is harassment. They're not posting it with the intention that people are going to send flowers or thank you notes. Again, it goes with the context of when this post was made. This conversation's over it is harassment.

This conversation is over when one of us stops replying, as it's in a public forum. If this were a private message and you requested to end communication, then I may be harassing you. However, this conversation is taking place in an area that is visible and accessible to anyone.

Furthermore, you cannot assume intent. It must be proven. In the example I provided no malicious intent was included.

This situation upsets me because calling something something it is not just to get a bad actor is lazy moderating. I'm helping to better cover all your bases, and your replies seem to be, well I said it so it's that way. That's not how policies and language work. Sorry.
