Warning on Doxxing in this sub

Community,

Given the post regarding BBMC and his apparent arrest, there have been many posts with his supposed dox. Doxxing is absolutely not tolerated in this sub. It will result in a ban from this sub. Please respect the rules and do not post any identifying materials on BBMC (or any member for that matter). Obviously if there is a news article regarding his arrest, posting that is fine. But until that happens, do not give any identifying information on anyone in this sub. There is a zero tolerance on this matter.

Remember doxxing breaks one of the most fundamental rules of this community and goes against the spirit of what we do here.

Just to publicly clarify, could posting a news article about a meth dealer arrested in the UK be considered doxxing under some circumstances?

If the article states that the arrestee went by "BBMC," cool. If the article states that 4 blokes got arrested and I, redditor, state that #2 is BBMC, that's not cool.

Does this mean no dox of scammers too? I am thinking more along the lines of market admins than errant vendors. Hypothetically, for example, would Kimble's dox be more welcome or well received than BBMC's dox?

It's an interesting question since, while BBMC was not malicious and Kimble was, the former is essentially already caught. The dox would presumably be less damaging to his freedom than it would be to a free, unidentified but highly malicious actor like Kimble.

Doxxing can also get subs removed/suspended/banned from reddit, or your entire account banned if it's an individual with no way to appeal. Not only that, but our entire community is founded on the basis of anonymity and privacy; with technology built at its foundation supporting that premise.

It's one thing to know who some one is, but an entirely different situation once someone goes posting it everywhere, bragging about knowing who soemone is, and intimidating/threatening/harassing that user. This used to be a community that was here for one another, and slowly this has turned into 90% shit-talking, trolling, arguing, and bickering....and 10% technology/vendor/dnm discussions.

I'm curious how much longer this sub will be a place where people visit regularly before it turns too toxic....
