Its like if someone says Where does Phobia live and I tell them is that a violation. Just trying to make sure I understand. I know SS# and that kinda stuff is taboo but considering some of the "detective threads" for MTG and others I'm a bit confused.

If the person has already shared information in the open forum then you're safe.
I've shared everything except for my home address on this site but that's easily obtained accessing public information.
Flopnuts' real name is not exactly a secret on this site because he's facebook friends with several folks here. But he's never posted it on this site and he won't. If you posted Flopnuts real name accidentally, you would probably get a short vacation and a stern warning. If you did it to be mean spirited, it would be a lengthy vacation.
If you're trolling on this site all bets are off. This place takes pride in tracking trolls down.
I don't think anything has changed about the rules. Are they being enforced more frequently? Probably. This place has been understaffed for a long time and equal application of the rules suffered. Now there is adequate coverage. I think that expecting more rule enforcement is reasonable.
