Doxing
We had a bit of a kerfuffle today in PPD. I'm not really sure how this started, but it did. The short version is that I, CFRProflcopter, claimed that a user was doxed in TBP a few months back. Apparently, some of the TBP mods took issue with it and one of them wrote out a long post explaining how what happened wasn't really doxing. There were also ridiculous allegations on TBP (edit, not from the mods) that I'm a Red Piller. The incident can been seen here:

http://www.reddit.com/r/TheBluePill/comments/2w8lxu/harrietpotter_explains_accusations_of_doxxing/
My inbox had been blowing up for the last 2 hours, so I thought I'd make one post to address the issue. Here it goes...
Doxing is the sharing of personal information. The TBP mods and the PPD mods have a disagreement about what constitutes personal information. PPD mods such as myself believe that quotes from social media can be used to trace back to social media pages. TBP mods claim that
- this wasn't possible with the recent incident and
- that doxing is primarily when personal identity is made readily available
I readily admit that TBP's definition of "personal information" syncs up with Reddit's own definition while ours does not. Furthermore, the TBP mods are amazing at managing their own sub. They do and excellent job dealing with these types of situations. They also strongly discourage brigading, doxing, and other behavior that violate's rediquette. Under normal all circumstances, they are a pleasure to work with.
Our definition of "personal information"
Our definition of "personal information" is stricter than the norm for a very good reason. The sensitive nature of our sub dictates that we have a higher responsibility to protect the identity of our users. We take extra precautions to ensure that you, all of you, are as safe as possible. If you see this as a valid reason to criticize us, so be it. But if you're going to say anything, say it here. Fair warning, I will be un-checking the "send replies to my inbox" box for this post.
Finally, if you ever distribute personal information from outside of reddit and link it to a reddit user, regardless of how trivial or "untraceable" that information may be, we will ban you and report you to the admins. This is the last time we will ever talk about doxing, period.
EDIT: Shit, I forgot to mention that the incident of harassment (the one I called doxing) that started this whole thing happened in TBP. Based on Reddit's rules, this incident was harassment and the TBP mods deleted the comment and [I believe] they banned the user responsible. We also banned the user responsible since we considered the harassment an off-sub dox. The TBP also cooperated with us by helping us identify the guilty party.
