Could you explain whatâs not practical about these simple steps that you could take:
1) Create an EA Forum policy against sockpuppeting, and apply it retroactively to this case. This might naturally result in deleting the offending posts or adding a notification indicating they are sockpuppets.
2) Remove the encoded names and replace them with numbers per the edit your team made originally.
3) Change the word âdoxingâ to âdeanonymizingâ in the following sentence from the Guide to Norms (since the behavior you intend to prohibit is not doxing):
Doxing â or revealing someoneâs real name if they are anonymous on the Forum or elsewhere on the internet â is prohibited
