Awww you don’t trust me? I’m hurt. Really…
You post that as if you have a clue how it even works. Oddly enough, even after Illia fixed that particular loophole, the guy still spams on a regular basis. Funny that, no? I suggest you do some more research before you attempt to call me on my technical knowledge.

You seem to think I am defending Pum. I am not, the moderators should deal with him in whatever way they think is appropriate. I am attacking you. You being the rengade member of the public with a shotgun.
Gee, seems to me that they did deal with him when they published his IP. Perhaps you should let them speak for themselves rather than putting words into their mouths. I am pretty sure they are perfectly aware of how to use the post reply button. If they wish to say something about the issue, they will.

Yes, you have questioned my integrity and morality. I submit to you that were I lacking morality and integrity here, would I not have done something regrettable with your personal information by now? Please understand that I say that not as a threat of any sort, but just to illustrate the point, especially since you brought the issue up yourself earlier. As a matter of fact, who was it that pointed out where you had posted it so you could remove it before anyone less principled got ahold of it? That alone should prove the point. Of course, since you don’t trust my integrity you won’t believe me, but nothing I say is going to change that. You have built your conceptions of me around that false premise, and you are the one that will have to resolve that.

Let me give you a suggestion, take a leaf out of The Honorable czaemon's book. He makes no ambiguous threats in the thread you linked, he informs the moderators exactly what he is doing (essentially identifying the poster and reporting them to the appropriate organisations). He is crystal clear. It is your ambiguity that makes you an ******** in this case Kaolian.
Just because I choose not to post such information on the board does not mean it does not get passed along to the appropriate people. You do not know of what you speak in this instance. Also, the ambiguity serves as a deterrent factor. There are ways to counter things once they have been identified. It’s a simple equation Do clearly identified bad things = Unknown bad things occuring. Do not do clearly identified bad things = no unknown bad things occuring. It works. Why mess with it?
