far from me to point out a potential error but wasn't Sir Chris of Harris' post before the rule change?
Outing someone's details has always been nono as far as I am aware, nothing new here.

The only thing I can take from this is that the rules aren't administered fairly.

How does one out someone's details when those details are disclosed on his profile?

oh indeed, but up until this rule change it's been pretty sparsely applied or perhaps I've been lucky in that I've never posted enough details for other people to be able to find them but enough so that the other person knows I've found them?

Wow, reading that makes me sound like a real stalker, i only did it for the women, honest.

Do you want me to go and picket outside harris' house, or should i picket Plato into coming back and have an egasm off against harris? hehe

Oh, and someone had better pay him this time MBH, we don't want Silent to be accused of amateur sleuthing either... hehe:

Don't be silly, there's more chance of Lord Lucan riding into town on Shergar than our overlords addressing any question that the peasants might happen to have.

"Website feedback" is designed to be ironic I think. Like a social experiment if you will.

1.Do not post material that a reasonable person would find offensive, annoying or upsetting, including personal information (including facebook/twitter/linked-in etc) & amateur sleuthing, nor may you bypass the swear filter unless you are Chris Harris.

Tee hee, very good...smile

Still don't understand the problem with posting a name when it's on his profile.

Might be barking up the wrong tree here, though, so, if it's something else, I really would like to know what it is.

Has anyone ever been banned from posting in website feedback, or do so few mods come in here that we can post whatever we want?

are you still banned? This is silly if it is for posting his name from his profile, it's a shame the management haven't responded either, perhaps it's best to email our new overlord, i've no idea who the hell he is though or his name.
