I'm not completely sure if I even understand the official unofficial rules. In my humble opinion, it seems as though they were not well thought out.
The interpreted definition of spam and trolling is incorrect in the OP. It also doesn't sound very professional to post documents of someone without their consent. That's a breach of privacy. For example, if you repost a photo from someone's Facebook, that's fine because they clearly don't mind sharing their photos as long as it is a public Facebook. Anything that is set private, but posted publicly is a breach of privacy.

Unofficial list, as in not made by the admin. Official rules, as in rules that apply in Bitcointalk.
Also, see notice on top of the thread:
NOTE: This is meant to serve as a reference/educational/informational thread, NOT a rock solid list of rules.

These rules were gathered by me from various, sticky threads, advice from administrators and other moderators and my experience as a Bitcointalk moderator.

There is no incorrect definition. It's the definition that applies here (not everywhere in the internet), in Bitcointalk.

Q: What about deleting DOXes?
A: Nope, we don't delete them either as long as they are on topic and the information can be obtained legally (no SSNs for example). Why? Because such doxing is just compiling information about a user already available publicly, often via search engines.
