Yes. This is a form of doxxing. And as I said, very worrisome for users that create accounts on this forum to know that moderators will post things like that.
No it isn't. Doxxing is posting VERY precise things such as an exact address, real name, email, phone number... None off that was posted. You can't do that (at least i don't know how to) with just an IP address, which is known for being highly inaccurate and only providers a very rough idea of where someone COULD be located. It's the very reason why more and more us judges are throwing ip based piracy/torrent cases or the window die to it's inaccuracy. Hell of i look up my own op from my ISP, it puts me in a city 15km away from where I actually am. As I said, your IP address is public information. EVERY single website you visit, from whatever device, has your IP address in the server access logs (let me make it very clear, I DO NOT have access to that, just the very basic forum moderators info)
Then there's the fact that all I did was google JUST his username, no more no less and you'll find the same thing I did. DOXXING goes a lot further than that.
Anyone with an inch of capabilities of searching anything on google can find what I found. All that posts of mine did was show that if the user I was talking about, was that paranoid of 'leaking' sensitive info he shouldn't be on any internet connected device. The moment you enter the WWW your anonymity pretty much goes out the window.
Now back on topic.
