Comment on Is it against the rules of most sites to expose a troll by mentioning an alias they use, even though it's been proven that said troll lies about everything about themselves?

but this troll has gotten posts exposing them taken down because the posts reveal personal information,

Where did the “personal information” come from if not from the troll’s posts? If it was from the troll’s posts, then why would it be taken down if the troll themselves posted it elsewhere? Is it doxing if the person being doxed is the one consenting to posting the personal information themselves?

All the info came from the troll’s posts, that are publicly available. Also this isn’t a normal troll, but a malicious troll who is transphobic, defends Nazis, tells people to kill themselves, etc.

The troll in question is highly manipulative and try to paint themselves as a victim who is being targeted for no reason, but the links in the description of this video say otherwise. Those links go to comments the troll posted on their own accounts. They gaslight, guilt trip, and use other abusive tactics to get away with their malicious trolling.

  I’m not reading your links for your specific troll because I just don’t need a troll to take up that much of my attention. However, your question is framed on any troll, so I think your question is valid and am fine discussing that.

  When mod/admins were presenting with the evidence that the troll performed self doxing, are you saying the mods/admins were fooled by the troll and took action they thought they were protecting a victim?

    The mods/admins were fooled by the troll who took the troll’s manipulation that they’re a victim of slander.

    Okay, so you’re not questioning policy of admins/mods, but pointing out your belief they followed the policy except they acted with bad information from the troll?
    
    If that’s the case, I don’t think you have a pathway unless there is an appeals process. Have you engaged the admins/mods in question to see what evidence (if any) they would need to reconsider their decision?
