Can I ask if you could have a think about a policy on threads that ask about personal information?
I am concerned for a number of reasons
The daily mail lift threads and if people can be identified through the advance search function it's leaving them open to this
Also we tell our children to be careful in the Internet about people not being who they say they are and using information etc and it seems a bit incongruous that threads that ask for personal details on here are allowed to stand without even as much as a warning.
Look at the recent hoo hah and how someone was identified and searched in real life from info they have posted here.
