Maybe I did not understand the moderator agreement correctly, but I still think that finding out university/department from the private information would still be a problem.

Perhaps there is some space to different interpretation.

Maybe we'll here from the mods about this.

@DavidRoberts Since I think it is better to keep the discussion in comments short, I left a few comments here.

I find it unlikely that the mods are going to take some action on this. (And considering moderator agreement, I am not sure it would be wise if they did.)

I am also not sure whether MO users actually care about such things.
