Getting my private information removed from these forums

[rydan313]

There are a few threads on this forum where people are sharing my personal phone number despite me having no business relationship with the eBay user in question.  I have been reporting this for months and they never get removed.  How do I actually get this information removed?  It is against the rules 8, 9, and 10 but the mods refuse to take action.  I don't care about the content of the messages, I just want my personal details purged from this forum.

I'm not sure how you are reporting the posts; the moderators usually respond within a few hours.

The best way to report is by hovering over the . . . Options at the top right of the post that has your phone number, and choose Report Inappropriate Content from the drop-down list.

If that hasn't or doesn't work for you, then please reply again and let us know that so we can do something else.

That's the way I've been doing it.  It is the only way that I'm even aware to report.

Can you provide an example of a post (the URL link) that has your phone number in it, please?

alan@ebay and doug@ebay -- would you please reach out to @rydan313 and get the details from him so you can investigate this? I don't think he wants to post the link publicly.

How did they get your phone number if you never did business with them?

The mods are usually really good about removing anything that breaks the rules.

Thanks.  This has been resolved.
