I don't know what Power Wording is either, and Google doesn't help. Link?
From context, it looks like it means one of two things:
1) Some people you don't mention by name on websites, because they Google their name and, when they find it, show up and cause trouble.
2) Revealing something about someone that they'd rather keep private, a.k.a. "outing" or "doxing"...
It's #2 - I've heard it used as an analogy to the D&D spells 'Power Word Stun' and '... Kill'. If you have an anonymous handle somewhere, then either in or out of its context, to hear of the other one could have a stunning and alarming effect.
In any case, I see from Fluttershy's comment that this is fairly public, in which case 'power word' does not apply.
