What's the sites policy on posters linking to people's personal facebook pages (or doxxing as it's also known)?
I've reported it but no action has been taken. The mod is active on the thread.

Hello there, Mumof56, thanks for posting.
While we look at things like this on a case-by-case basis, we will usually remove posts which, maliciously or otherwise, out someone in real life, especially if it's clear that person would not wish for their personal details to be made public in this way, or to do so would cause them harm or distress.
If an individual is already out there, so to speak, and is using their social media to garner or promote media coverage, then, generally speaking, we wouldn't consider that to be doxxing.
