Can this be verified in anyway? I have been under the impression this entire time that the merits were given to the post while the address was listed, and in fact not until the address was listed.
This would seem to be an important contingency, especially considering that this thread and the dozens like it are riding on the fact that multiple users were encouraging a "DOX" through merit (especially sources).

I feel like doing a witch-hunt for the people that merited the post, unless you can prove that they did not merit until the address was posted, is a waste of efforts. Even if you can prove that, it would be a waste of efforts. I don't understand why we continually beat dead-horses in this community.

theymos has made note of these users, what can you do through posting about it that theymos is unable to accomplish?

My position on the issue has remained consistent, Vod should have negative DT trust (and probably a few more exclusions) for releasing a DOX (especially, of a forum treasurer). Apparently, DTs aren't going to leave negative feedback for DOXing - they have other priorities
