Mobile numbers
 

Hi are you allowed to put up your mobile numbers on threads.

when on this before it was banned.


looking through forums and noticed nearly every other advert as mobile number in it.


I know this was a rule breaker before?????

confused?

Hi Kitty,

Members should not put any of their private contact details on the public forum.

Some Members post their phone number in the belief that it will speed up the Giving and Taking process but this is not something that Admin encourages, though for practical reasons, we have to tolerate it. (It's impossible to monitor every sentence in every post on every thread in every forum.)

So, the issue of contact details on the public forum is dealt with in the form of advice, not a rule.

The following advice from Admin is located near the top of all the Givers' forums and the Wanted forum:

thanks chris p,

just wondering what had changed seen used in the past,
as surprised at the amount of mobile numbers that nearly every post had no reprimanded from Admin as in the past.

thanks for clearing that up

Hi kitty,

Permanent reminders at the top of all the forums, in the User Guide, and in the User Tips post should be enough to make people aware of privacy/security issues, but obviously not. Admin has gone past the stage of nannying Members re: phone numbers, though we do our best to remove email addresses, full names, addresses, directions to front door, and even when the person will or won't be at home...(the mind boggles at the carelessness of some folks!). So, when once or twice a year Admin receives correspondence from Members who say they are receiving nuisance calls (possibly from folks who aren't even Members of JumbleTown), all we can say is that they should contact the Nuisance Call Bureau, keep records for the Gardai, and try to remember in future that they shouldn't put their contact details anywhere on the Web.
