On the aviation forums intervention by companies seems more vigorous with the forum administrators apparently being asked to either provide the ID/IP address details of the poster or remove the post.

If that's the case, the bank should be told in no uncertain terms what to do. This can be done in two words, the first of which starts with 'F'.

This is exactly what MSE will do in response to such demands.

Trouble is, the two words are 'Find enclosed'....

I think the OP deleted it maybe? or requested it, either way , a CIFAS Is going to make its way to them shortly

I'm guessing this is the answer. Can't see a bank demanding info on a Sunday. I didn't know an OP can delete a thread. Maybe the OP in question could confirm?

You can't delete a thread you start if there are replies (that's why we get threads with completely redacted OPs).

It could only have been done a couple of ways (as far as I'm aware): Deleted by the forum team or a board guide, or hidden by abuse of the spam button. The former seems quite unlikely at the weekend.

I didnt read the thread before it was deleted but is this even allowed? Banks come on here regulary viewing our posts and threads??? They then ask MSE for ID of the invididual?? IS that allowed and i dont remember anyone giving personal details when signing up here and even if they did it could all be fake ones.

Defeats the purpose of this forum if we are getting spied on by banks venting our frustrations and plans for actions if any

Nobody can come on here and apply to find out the real name of people posting on here it requires a court order

But all banks can come on here and freely read what's written. This isn't some sort of safe heaven in which we can talk behind their backs. Lots and lots of bank employees are regular forumites, too.

That would be like looking for a needle in a hay stack from the banks point of view. No-one gives out information on here apart from issues they have been having.

Is it against forum rules if I reveal my real name isn't 18cc?

Did you just ask yourself a question? Have you got two different accounts?

The process is that MSE is contacted by a party who feel they have been libelled and challenged with court action if they do not remedy the situation. MSEs only defence is to provide the contact information of the individual who made the purported libellous post so that this individual can defend the case instead of MSE. This only happens with this individual's permission (and they would have to provide their contact details). Otherwise the post is deleted. I don't think anyone has been asked if they wish to defend a libel claim for something they have posted in recent times, MSE just deletes the posts - probably for the reason you suggest, people could just give fake details to the claimant.

However, it's important to understand that when you post a lot of specific information about an issue you are having, this could be enough for a company to identify you, so you should be careful not to post anything malicious or libellous.

The purpose of this forum is discuss topics related to moneysaving. The forum rules are quite clear that "if a post may be unlawful, it has to go".
