Once information is out there it's difficult to get it back.
DDM, you, for instance, were on a mutual friend's Facebook when I was before we both came off Facebook as were several others here. You had your settings up and I never saw much apart from your front page. At the time, I was still working in the UK and had my settings pretty open. it was eight years ago, I don't remember much apart from the black and white picture you had.
Let's look at worst case scenarios from doxxing, a person puts a woman's picture and a phone number on a dating site, men ring the number a female accomplice pretends to be her and says come in and see me at work I'll pretend I don't know you and we'll play a game, I like to be taken forcibly. The accomplice works in a bar with the woman and sees the man come in when the girl targeted goes to break she starts sending suggestive texts, saying I see how you look at me etc, you want to rape me etc. This goes on for weeks he comes in and gets hotter and hotter the accomplice says little on the phone after the phone conversation but then rings him a second time saying where the targeted girl lives pretending to be her and she wants to be raped. He attacks her (actually happened in the UK). The girls were about Kurks age.
Someone has kids, the guy goes on a paedo chatroom and posts pictures of them with address and the phone number of the person being targeted, very disturbing.
Actually happened in the U.K.
Using someone's cell phone number or email to spoof texts, all sorts of ways you could hurt someone like that. Text to the GF or wife that looks like it was aimed at another woman, or an innocuous comment about a date with another woman. Less destroys marriages. Happened more than once to people.
Find out the kids facebooks of a person etc... etc... etc...
Set up a site for someone's sister or mother that they are a Prostitute, hell DDM you know all this shit mate.
You know some ***** do all this and shitloads worse.

Exactly Surtur.
At Bran, it is E-drama but E-drama needs nipping in the bud before it escalates especially dealing with kids, who take things further than an adult like you would.
I also told Kurk I was reported him and suggested he just get a warning, I did not know he had done this shit before and BF made the right decision, in my opinion, to ban him for a month. He clearly has access to at least one historic sock account. From his posting today, no one but he, DMB the mods and 2 others knew I'd reported him.
