This has been explicitly against the rules of /r/textfriends forever, but mods still see it from time to time. This is how it's written in the welcome post (which you should read)(which will eventually be updated):

CONTACT INFO AND IDENTIFYING DETAILS IN PUBLIC ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN

All posts and comments containing this kind of information will be removed and repeat offenders or those that reveal others' information will be banned.

Kinds of forbidden information: full names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, mobile app IDs (kik, WhatsApp, Snapchat, etc), IM IDs (Skype, yahoo, etc), external profiles (facebook, okcupid, tumblr, instagram, twitter, etc), any kind of specific information that would allow a person to deduce an exact location or person, enough information that would allow a person to deduce an exact location or person, etc.

This kind of information should be shared ONLY through PM, and never in posts or comments.

From wikipedia: "Doxing, or doxxing (from "dox", abbreviation of documents), is the Internet-based practice of researching and publicly broadcasting private or identifying information (especially personally identifying information) about an individual or organization."

Don't dox anybody and don't get yourself doxxed.

Phone numbers are what we see the most, which is... very stupid.

Any contact information or doxxable content spotted by the mods will be immediately removed and offending users banned. These users may appeal their ban with the mods.

If you spot any contact information or doxxable content on /r/textfriends, please use the report button or send modmail.
