Phone numbers and addresses

While BoredOnline is a fairly secure website, anyone is able to register. Out of prudence it is not the best idea to be posting of addresses, phone numbers, and other such location identifying things.

Now, many BOLers have the phone numbers or addresses of other BOLers. When trying to acquire personal information from someone (phone numbers, addresses, last names, etc.), ask that person directly, don't go about getting it from a third person. Out of respect for that persons privacy, ask them for the information yourself. Some people don't want their phone number/address given out to anyone other than the single person it was given too.

For instance: If I moved from Montana, but knew someone there and found it out yesterday that they were on BOL and wanted to be able to call them for their number rather than asking another BOLer for it. I know for certain I wouldn't want them giving my number out to anyone else.

Be considerate of the other BOLers, while it is fun to call or even write to another BOLer, respect the privacy and desires of what is done with personal information.

Publicly posting phone numbers or addresses on the forums is prohibited, as it can be a security risk to the person posting such information.
