because the news report will use the posters real name and nationality, essentially outing the poster if people put 2 and 2 together, i think is the general consensus of not publishing stories that are about regular posters
Just post the new story using the person's real name but don't let posters out that person by stating on the forum "Hey the guy in the news story posts here as 'BigDurians69'"
This is the same rule as anyne who makes the news.
If, I don't know, Anthony Galliano is in the news for the PP Post sale, that can be discussed on the forum, but he can't be outed on the forum by someone who knows his username.
If, I don't know, Anthony Galliano is in the news for punching out a ladyboy, that should also be discussed, even if he's a semi-regular poster, but he can't be outed by someone who knows his username.
This isn't that complicated. Why forum owners insist having three separate sets of posting rules for: (1) friends, (2) enemies, and (3) everyone else, befuddles me.
