> dox the perpetrator to kingdom come, in hopes that law enforcement and social reputation can make an example of of them.
Is a hell of a lot closer to "vigilante justice" than the version you just said. Had you made the sane posting first (or not pretended you did the second time) I wouldn't have said anything and just upvoted in agreement.
Which part of the statement implied "vilgilate justice." The part with the law enforcement or the "social reputation" part that is exactly the words game theory uses when discussing bad actor in a problem.
Just so I can modify my words to avoid future misunderstanding.
Doxxing means sharing people's relevant personal details that you gained without the targets consent.
In the case of malicious scammers, doxxing them so they can be cut off from other code repositories seems less like "vigilante justice" and more like "a public responsibility."
