Since the topic was turned into a circus, I decided to do it myself. Originally I wanted to make a poll and this can still be done, but here is the bare minimum:
The first step to solving the problem is legality and as it turns out, if we want this forum to stay up then any personal information relating to an identifiable person on the forum, can be requested to be removed.
This is according to the GDPR and we have users, such as myself, that force the forum to be compliant to these laws.
Here is a topic on law.stackexchange that specifically target the forum posts issue: https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/28276/are-internet-forum-posts-considered-personal-data-under-gdpr
It is not 100% clear, which is why it will be done on request and I will limit it to the bare minimum to comply with the law.
The bare minimum rule must be like this: "Dox data must be removed if the doxed person requests it and if the specific dox data was not posted by themselves on the site.".
"Dox data" is any data that can be used to uniquely identify a real person. This "real person" is the "doxed person".
"Doxed person" is any individual that has been uniquely identified by some collection of identifiers and the dox data relates to them.
In addition, if doxing is used as a tool to commit a real crime(such as cyberstalking, stalking, harassment, threats, or extortion) and it was not removed on request, it is a possible liability (according to any law).
If the dox data was obtained illegally, it is illegal and must be removed (according to any law).
Any changes to the rule must comply with the law, or someone crazy like med/primal can sue. If you disagree and think that people can't use the law against SC, explain?
