If the data is via the ED API (it is) then they have.
How could players be encouraged to put themselves into dangerous pvp scenarios, even when they don't have to?

There isn't an issue if a player uses the in-game API to collect and store the locations of other commanders for their own personal use.
The issue exists when the player publishes that location data.
If I were to come on the forum and post the system I saw you in every single time I saw you, do you think I would get banned from the forum?
It is relevant. Do you think I would get banned, and if so, why would I get banned?
If it was some other medium, like Reddit or Youtube that I shared your location every single time I spotted you, do you think I might get my account suspended?
You are missing the point.
There is a reason the forum rule exists. That reason also applies to 3rd party applications.
There is a reason those forum rules were implemented. Those same reasons apply in this scenario.

Very well I've done that and in no place have I read anything that would lead me to believe that my original impression of your meaning is any different to what I've already said.
To date you've claimed to want criminal activities to be treated in a solid fashion. Yet you've offered little insight into how you would implement this outside of seeking to water down options I suggested. That's not out of context, nor misread and frankly if you persist in trying to deflect my asking for you to clarify this point, I really will have to conclude that you are being purposely disingenuous.
Then they'll run out of systems before long. Certainly temporary permit locks are a far better measure than what you've suggested - which is nothing.
You're not though. You've made no effort to address the problem outside of dismissing any measure which may be used to control unrestrained PvP.
What do you think this thread is about?
Had you considered the possibility, presuming you are not being disingenuous here, that you are the one with the poor grasp of the English language and lack the capacity to articulate your thoughts in a apprehensible manner?
If you were to come on a forum and post the location of all known gankers, I doubt it - it would likely be seen as a public service my many. If you were to come on a forum and post the location of a specific individual and only that individual, I suspect you'd probably be banned, but that would be because you'd rightly be seen as a nutjob. So, your example really doesn't make much sense in this discussion.
Indeed.
And what's that reason, chum?
Because it is targeted harassment.
There is a difference between posting one user's personal information and many's?
Yes. And if there's a reason to post it that makes a difference. Or perhaps you consider the sexual offenders list harassment?
That is a government sanctioned list.
How many people do you need to share the personal info without permission before it goes from totally cool to not ok.
Who gets to decide if your motives are on the up and up?
