You will give someone a piece of your mind, which you can ill afford.

Fictional doxxing is just as illegal as the real thing? But it is hard to direct persons or armed authorities to a place that does not exist! Seems jan has joined the Lost Boys, Second star on the rigth, and straight on till morning, right-o! Waiting for the Penny Lane to drop. There is a house, in New Orleans, they call the Rising Sun! 221B Baker Street is the residence of the person you seek! Or try 1150 W Addison St. Chicago, IL 60613, you know who lives there?

Your entire argument is a reductio ad absurdum that deliberately conflates an ontological problem (is this real?) with a pragmatic one (how must we act?).
You are placing an impossible epistemic burden on operators, demanding they be omniscient polymaths who can instantly discern veridical data from fictional trivia across all global cultures. Your "well-known" examples are merely artifacts of your own cultural priors.
The only prudent and scalable rule is simple: if a post is prima facie doxxing, it is treated as such. The operator's duty is not to become a scholastic debating the reality of your data, but to act prophylactically-at no detriment to any legitimate discourse. Your post is a disingenuous attempt to rules-lawyer a policy whose intent is perfectly clear.

Newer systems that rely on "AI" to process tickets may eventually be able to filter out this BS but for now they, and humans, have difficulty telling the difference between a real statement and one of pure fantasy.
Your human brain bolstered by your memories and life experience grant you the ability to tell this is not real. Great. The address given here appears to be real. No, I don't know who lives at 1150 W Addison and a quick internet search offers no answers. If this is a satirical reference then it falls flat.
No, we're not there yet. Really. We're not. The current generation of LLM / AI tech may help but until we can definitively tell fantasy from reality and have a reliable method for problem investigation in real time we are stuck with what we have. Humans. Fallible humans. People capable of taking facts literally and not recognising humor intermeshed with reality. So no, keep it in your pants, don't post stuff that looks real, and be nice.
