This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So is a phone number, but you don't want that broadcast about, do you? Most of the spam and hack attacks are due to information that is carelessly posted on web sites.
My home number?  No.  Despite that, it is bought and sold several dozen times a week.  Plus, it is broadcast.  In the phonebook.  Spammers and crackers already have your information, and trade it amongst themselves for new code, or other addresses.

However, I apologize for posting the information.  It won't happen again.

There's no need to apologize. Just stop arguing about every little thing and wasting my time.

If you don't want registration information publicly accessible, you should probably pony up the little bit of cash for private registration.  

Like Stormy says, right now you essentially have it like having your phone number published in a phone book.  Private registration would essentially make your number unlisted, as it were.

Just saying you might want to consider it if its something you're really concerned about.  

Feel free to continue to yell at Stormy for posting it, though.  :)

Recently Ended: Palladium Fantasy - Warlords of the Wastelands: A fantasy campaign beginning in the Baalgor Wastelands, where characters emerge from the oppressive kingdom of the giants. Read about it here.

I make a good scapegoat.  :)
