In this instance, personally, I wouldn't have a problem with disseminating the name. I was just explaining the reasoning for the policy of not naming names, as I understand it. It's just prudent moderation in case someone would start ruining the reputation of an innocent.

Let's say someone wants to cause unwarranted harm to the reputation of a person or guild. They could slap a few screenshots together, concoct a story, get a few friends to "corroborate" it and post the "evidence" on one of the forums here. The person or guild being knocked might not see it and/or respond to it, but it will poison the well of goodwill toward them in time. It's much easier to damage a reputation like that than it is to do damage control later.
