Posting personal information on the site

For your internet security, do not post personal information directly on the site. Exchange that info through a Personal message only. It is against the sale rules and your ad may be deleted. Thanks

can I get clarification on this?

some of us use our real world name in our forum login name. often, our contact information, such as phone # and email address, are public record, and one can find this information by googling our names. if we choose to post our email address and phone #, is this in violation of the rules?

I of course agree, it's a bad, bad idea to disclose private information, but some of our data is public record anyway, so is there harm in posting it?

There can be, yes.
