I told the OP it would be better to confirm the documents are stolen because I believe this would get the OP of the thread in question banned and the thread removed. Anyone buying personal documents at all knows they are buying from a shady person, and anyone buying from someone selling 100 people's documents knows they are dealing with a very shady person.
Hi, how it's possible some one has 100+ personal documents?
If these are not stolen = these are faked documents (in most of countries, probably in all world this is a crime). In both situation, this is a scam.
I think most likely he either does not have the personal documents he claims to be selling (he is scamming), or he is selling stolen, or forged documents. There is a very small, maybe less than 1% chance he has purchased these documents from his friends, acquaintances, and/or business contacts who all legitimately own the documents.
The small chance the documents are legitimately obtained is why the thread will stay up. If the OP of the thread referenced admits to selling stolen documents, the thread should get taken down.

No, none would happen. Scams as such aren't guided by any specific rules on the forum. No one gets banned for scamming or creating similar threads. They certainly get negative feedback from the DT which is what the best forum can do about such sellers and their respective threads.
Selling a stolen document would not be scamming by itself, it could be if he were representing the document was not stolen, but this is not the point.
I would refer you to this rule:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3629.msg51405#msg514051. Trading of goods that are illegal in the seller's or buyer's country is forbidden.
The selling of
stolen goods would be illegal and cause the thread to be removed.
