Mandatory Read - Email Address Incident
Posted: July 25th, 2005, 3:22 pm
Recently, we had an incident where a member posted their email address on the forum, and another member then traced that email through Google & phone books, and ended up calling her at home without permission.
While that member probably meant no harm, it reaffirms my belief that this forum should NOT have email address or phone numbers visible, either in profiles or in the post.
So, from now on, email addresses and phone numbers will not be visible, and are not allowed in either the signature line or in the body of the post. Private messaging will still be available.
Thanks!
