I have no affiliation with the ReactOS project but I honestly think that the doxxing could and should have been avoided (assuming the name included in the title is a person's real name). It probably also goes against some HN rules, but I may be wrong on that.

Posting the name of a harasser is not doxxing.

  that's a handy tool for doxxing, just claim some kind of ill-will and you're off the hook. (( no, it's still doxxing. ))

  Yes it is, especially if it's posted with no evidence backing up the claims. For all we know, this might be a private dispute between two people, and, if presented all the information, Bryan's side might be the side that sounds more reasonable...

  I was on HN when the Boston bombings happened, trust me, you don't want to let random people on the Internet doxx other people, no matter how smart or righteous the people doing the doxxing think they are.

It’s kind of hard when the person in question is doxxing themselves: https://github.com/Zero3K https://github.com/Zero3K At least, if you want to identify them at all. But a warning without the identity is a bit pointless I guess. That said, I can’t find anything crazy in a quick look at either their Jira or Forum. https://jira.reactos.org/browse/ROSBE-173?jql=reporter%20in%20(Zero3K) https://jira.reactos.org/browse/ROSBE-173?jql=reporter%20in%... Zero3K seems to have been involved with ReactOS since at least 2019, and has quite a lot of issues reported.
