A post on this thread is not a private message.
2. Do not include phone numbers, emails, KiK, Telegram, Wickr, or any other IM names, links, or chat invites in any section of the main site. This includes the personals section. Have members contact you through PM on the site instead.
You can then decide if you want to share those details with them. (Posting on their profile does not count as a private message.)
Encoding your phone number in the form of the alphabet (e.g., five five five one two three four) is also not allowed. Don't try to fool us by altering your email address in a post. It will be found. Finally, posting that your "IM name is the same as your username on the forum" will be treated as posting your IM name/handle on the public forum, and therefore is not allowed.
UPDATE: POSTING CONTACT INFO IN BINARY IS ALSO NOT ALLOWED.
BASICALLY, POSTING YOUR CONTACT INFO WITHOUT ACTUALLY POSTING YOUR CONTACT INFO IS NOT ALLOWED.
