What happened? (include any proof):

I mean, i've never seen a more clear form of DOXXing in my entire life. He sent a picture of my ID into the STAFF DISCORD, and somehow wasnt instantly permabanned. I thought I had blocked everyone from garnet and I posted a story bitching about how bad my ID photo was and he screenrecorded it to get the exact second my address was shown.

@Andreas_Mitrovic what the fuck. You got any response to this? I wasn't online when this happened, but what the fuck happened man.

GG Staff Discord is a Garnet platform, so the moment @proggy gets online to review this, Andreas is likely getting a permanent ban for publicizing your information on our platform (doxing), but I cannot even fathom why you would post your own ID on your story where other Garnet members can evidently see it. The liability is on you too for that portion of the information getting to his hands.

My only point being that by definition atleast, when it comes to doxing, you SEARCH for somebody's information in order to publicize it with ill intent. In this situation, it seems like you quite literally 'doxed' yourself.

Again, i'm still very much going to punish Andreas for further publicizing your information on our platform, but looking at the entire situation, it didn't seem like any reasonable person would've assumed you'd be against your own publicly posted image being shared.

Locking until @proggy has some time to give me his input.

Firstly @jorts, there's no reason for any of our players to have a picture of your ID.
Sharing a pic of your ID is a massive failing on your part of protecting your own identity, and thus Andreas will be receiving a shortened punishment for sharing it. 

Andreas has been removed from the staff team and banned for 6 months for sharing your identity.
This is a major lapse in common sense by him, and he should definitely know better.
Sharing any users private information is not allowed and will lead to a permanent ban.
This goes for anywhere on our game servers, TeamSpeak, Discords, or sharing to any other player in the community privately.


To all players reading this:
If someone shared details of their identity to you, that does not mean they are okay with you sharing those details with other people.
Do not give out your real name to people, especially full names.
Do not give out any details about yourself that could allow people to search for more information about you.
"Face reveals" have always been discouraged, as well as sharing your social media with other players. 
Remember that you cannot truly redact any information that's shared. Once something is out on the internet, it is likely out there forever.
