Doxxing, yes. But any discussion about harassing people will get you banned.

Why doxx someone unless you are implying a threat of harassment against them?

  Why get a website's ddos protection removed unless you're planning on ddosing it?

    Cloudflare doesn't just offer DDoS protection, though. Websites like Kiwifarms play a cat and mouse game with hosting providers, who typically don't want to host them. Cloudflare's other services make it easier to conceal which hosting provider is involved, making it harder to (legally!) pressure them. DDoS isn't the only way to take a site down.

"Here's the personal info on this person that we all hate and constantly talk shit about. It includes their address and contact information. We're totally putting this out here for innocent reasons. We trust you guys won't go harass these people now because that's against our rules!"

    This is nonsense. No man is an island. You are effectively saying that fame and peer pressure don't exist. There's obvious motivations to take things "just one step further" with a community that eggs such behaviors on. And that's true from a legal perspective as well. Tons of law deals with people who were not the individual to did the criminal deed, but instead offered the opportunity to do it or encouraged it. We don't live in some libertarian fantasy where every individual operates wholly separate from one another. It's just not how we as a species are wired.

      So just making sure I understand you correctly here.. You think that nobody is entitled to privacy or their own opinions unless certain other people approve?

So you've verified the person in the screenshot saying they've arranged for bombs to be planted has been banned?
