In some rare cases, like a static IP that you can somehow trace to a persons identity with google (which is like 0.000000000000001% of IPS, if any at all), keeping the ID logged could be seen as storing personal data. I don't think there is such a disclaimer about the game server like there is for the forum. Nobody signs up for their IP being stored on the game server. Kind of leaves one wondering though. What if someone is using the server as online-pedo-predator, to spread Nazi propaganda, or organizing jihad on your server. The last one is probably not gonna happen, but I've seen borderline stuff like the first two on game servers before.

Not our problem. From the moment it isn't stored on our systems it holds no ground. It would be google that they'd have to contact, and not us.
Fair enough. What if someone says their real name and address in ingame chat? Arguably his own fault, but would you be obliged to delete it from your logs if he asks for it?

We would, yes.
It would probably be followed by a permaban though, if done with malicious intent/to troll the admin team.
Someone who threatens legal action probably doesn't really care about permabans anyway. The guy is probably just saying it cause he's a douche... but it kind of gets you wondering anyways.
