I recently got a right obnoxious bashing about being a wannabee moderator when I questioned a post. One of the nice references was Hitler, the rest were worse. All I asked was for names to be removed. I stand by my posts on that thread. It is not always about national security, some people are just 'bonkers' and they may not have seen Janes/have scanners/go to bases etc etc. I had a nutter start sending me letters and threatening me, when my name appeared in the Liverpool Echo in 2004. Even if information is available publicly, make them work to find it, rather than serve it up on a plate on Pprune!! Remember just how many times lazy journos quote directly from Pprune without checking facts. Some stories are still entertaining without minute detail being quoted.
