Theymos, I hope you realize you are opening yourself personally as well as the forum up to huge legal liability by not taking any action regarding this. If something were to happen to OGNasty, him or his family would have a very solid case, especially since Vod has exhibited this behavior multiple times in the past. Legally speaking you would have no excuses.

How?

Theymos saw the post and then magically the Dox were removed - pretty sure he cleared his liability there buddy.

How? It's pubilcy known that OG holds 500 btc and OG himself has posted his address on the internet.

Nobody shows up to bill gates house to rob him. What about the fact that banks probably have a lot of money in them I don't see people running and jumping to rob them.

How can theymos be held liable for information posted on a semi public forum? That is like saying Christopher Poole is responsiblily for everything posted on 4chan pre 2015

I am just going to answer this pretending you have enough understanding of the law to comprehend it, though I have my doubts.

There are protections for commons, but as soon as you curate information, in the case by creating the precedent DOXing is not allowed, you inherently automatically create liability by picking and choosing who is allowed to continue to do so again in the future. You are either a commons or a publisher, and in this circumstance Theymos is firmly occupying the role of the publisher by enforcing the regulations on doxing on some but not all people. As a publisher he is liable for information he chooses to publish. This chain of logic is self evident. If doxing is not allowed, and this instance is excused, he is complicit in publishing the information in violation with the published and accepted terms of service of this forum (regardless of there not technically being one you click agree to or not).
