From my Encyclopaedia Redditica:

- Doxxing 

Also known as Doxing, this is revealing personal information about someone, including yourself. We do not do that on Reddit. It’s in the Reddiquette[1], after all:

• Do not post someone's personal information or post links to personal information. This includes links to public Social Media pages and screenshots of Social Media pages with the names still legible. We all get outraged by the ignorant things people say and do online, but witch hunts and vigilantism hurt innocent people too often[2], and such posts or comments will be removed. Users posting personal info are subject to an immediate site wide ban. If you see a user posting personal info, please contact the admins[3].*

Please make sure to remove or block out any personal information, including other Redditors’ usernames, in all your posts or screenshots of Reddit stuff too. Anyone who deliberately pings the subject of a post where the usernames are blocked out will be banned. We can laugh at people without directly harassing or bullying them.
