We do not allow the posting of 3rd party personal information unless there is a strong case for the public's need to know.

There are strict laws, rules and guidelines about privacy.

Our criteria are detailed in our policies page, in accordance with the FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act).

Advisory and Policy on Naming Names

exFamily.org agrees with the necessity for, and public interest in public disclosure, especially regarding non-profit orgs (where private persons cease to be private individuals and become accountable to the public).

We also make distinctions between leaders who issued directives, perpetrators, and rank and file victims such as children brought up with no choice but to follow their parents, etc.

Outing and placing the personal information of a webmaster with a call for personal harrassment, does not quite fit in with our policies on naming names.

Here's my suggestion. Point our visitors to where the same information can (legitimately) be found, but do not use our boards for breaking the rules on privacy.
