Hi good friends, thank you for being patient
Before saying anything related to the substance of the allegation, I will say what Sythe is and what Sythe is not. Sythe is primarily a black market platform with an economic objective. Sythe is not a community center. So please let the essence of that remain, and refrain from harassing each other. I will leave a quote from a famous Sythe veteran as a reminder. Please imprint these words into your souls:
Having said that, users should feel safe and we don't allow doxing.
The question at hand is if Itank pepsi doxxed Chellbell
----
facts
1. Itank Pepsi made a remark about Chellbell's child's medical condition in Sythe general.
----
Rules
The rule regarding doxing can be found
here and says:
- Disclosure of Others' Personal Information: Posting someone's information such as private emails, private social media accounts, addresses, phone numbers, private photos, etc. without explicit consent from that person will result in a 1 month ban and a DNT.
- This rule still applies if the information is publicly available or was posted by its owner on Sythe/Discord.
- Disclosure of a staff member's or acquantence of a staff member's personal information will result in a 6 month ban, a 6 month spam forum ban, and a DNT.
- To clarify, an acquaintance of a staff member is a family member or close friend who is only associated with Sythe through a staff member, if at all.

1. The first question to answer is: is disclosing the medical condition of Chellbell's child a dox? This is debatable. On one hand, it is descriptive, on the other hand, one can argue that the information is not specific enough.
2. Does the fact that this information was posted publicly play a role? Based on this snippet of the rule:
This rule still applies if the information is publicly available or was posted by its owner on Sythe/Discord. At the first glance, the answer to the question becomes 'no'.
Having said that, we have to consider the aim that this snippet was written for. It was intended to avoid users posting (spamming) pictures of each other in Sythe general. The situation at hand is a different situation. Furthermore, in a previous ruling, found
here, it was found that information being public, does in fact preclude the information from being a dox.
So there was no dox here.
Thank you for reading and have a nice day
