Obviously we're not about to go out on a orgy of DEATs, DoSes, and bans for most posts in what you look like or deviant art posts.
But, for example, I've mentioned multiple times, everywhere, that I am living in Japan (I believe I've even mentioned my prefecture a few times) and I teach junior high school. Stating those would not be a problem.
Going through the forum to find a picture of me, or a link to try and trace back, and then say, "Hey, NERVUN is actually XX-sensei at XX Junior High School!" would be a problem.
While that is all great, I feel we need stricter guidelines on PII. For example, if some else was as open about their age or occupation as you are with your occupation, would it be fair for other players to repeat the information elsewhere in the forums with no negative intentions, and would the player have a "right" to be offended and demand action against those who repeated the information? Or would punishment be based on some grid (extreme, I know almost everything on NS is a case by casevapproach) and only pursued if a complaint is filed?
That's the type of question several people are asking, and as yet, there has been no attempt to answer. In fact, I was rather condescendingly told to stop worrying about it when I asked similar questions on the first page.
