But there is merit in hiding obsolete threads from public view.
Joel,
Thank you for this in depth explanation. I do believe that these threads should indeed be removed. They do reveal the identity of the user, and I believe that is their concern. Additionally, it does not seem as though those particular threads have gained an immense amount of traffic, and there are several threads available on those issues. I hope you would consider the removal Joel:

Ed,
Thank you for your response, however, when this information is not exactly highlighted at the forefront of the website, I don't expect many of its users to be aware of this. I think this site will survive perfectly fine without these three threads. Just simply remove as requested, especially since it is the original content creator that has requested the action.

Read this Employee reply. There is NO sensitive info. These are not your posts. This subject has been broached many times. The result was no removal.

One simple problem is that IMDb kind of asks these pay stubs, contracts and other info of that nature. And some people post them in this forum without really thinking that they cannot be removed easily. I see some contradictions there.
These documents are not something that could help ”other people” later on, so they should be removed when the case is handled. Or better yet, people should not to post them in the first place.
Sure, people should use the IMDb help desk when sending ”personal” (this also means ”personal” to some other people, since these documents can also include info of other people and companies) info. But we all know that many people won’t use that option - or are even aware of that option.

As Will mentioned, Eboy, "please let us know and upon review, we may be able to remove the individual post".
I have seen these personal items removed several times when asked.

The problem is that people often forget to redact their mailing addresses. Even though the worst case scenario is unlikely, they might wind up receiving preventable spam.

Jeorj Euler,
People posting email addresses, phone numbers and other personal information is problematic and happens way to often. When I notice such email addresses and phone numbers I try to redact that information and post a note that Get Satisfaction is a public forum.
This removes this private information from future search engine searches, but it does not remove this information from email notifications.
