I think sellers should provide a number for their buyer if u are selling a product. And arent on the site offer y not. Just let them know not to abuse the number most phones have a block feature now a days if they do.even if u are a private seller, its alot of noobs here, and the community is here to help each other not be scammed, But just a thought. I loke to talk to a peraon b4 i send my money. Im not into being scammed into moral hazard

seriously? i really want my number posted so it can get out to every crazy out there on the internet. i think you would see sells go down because as it is sellers take an asswhipping over the smallest thing.
Uh, no. The current system has been working fine for thousands of transactions. No offense, but I wouldn't give you my number.
If you talk anything like you type who would want to talk to you?
I for sure wouldn't want to field calls from random people around the world at all hours of the day and night.

Personally I appreciate your opinion. Lots of new blood comes in and out of RWI and many times, like yourself, they have comments or suggestions. I think once you settle in and get a feel for how it all works as a whole, it will make more sense to you. Remember, RWI has 50,000 members.
Many guys here do have phone numbers for (many) other members. But it's done after a level of trust and personal relationship is built.
You have to be careful throwing personal information of any kind out into the nameless/faceless void of Internet forums. The world is not what it once was.

At least he is looking out for himself. No reason to trash the dude. Obviously most don't like the idea, but there is nothing wrong with him making a suggestion. If a buyer requested my number, I would probably give it to him/her.
I hear you, but I disagree. I don't like the idea if having my phone number floating around. Trust me, you can learn a lo of personal information from a persons telephone number.
From his other post, it seems he thinks of this forum as similar to craigslist.
If that were the case, then phone numbers would be mandatory as you'd need to meet up in real life.
Thanks for the suggestion though, at least it has brought up some discussion if nothing else.

Reading your post was painful. Can you please have some respect for others and yourself and properly type in your concerns?
Regarding the actual content of your post, if you mean number (and by going along with others) as a phone number, I think that kind of information should be given out after some establishment of personal connection. Not even business since the nature of the products being bought/sold in this case. Except for Google Voice (Which is limited to US/CAN for free calls until 2013), replacing phone numbers in case of a compromise is a lot more painful than an e-mail address.

Looking at your other posts I can tell that you're one confused dude.
I advise you take your time and read around the forum to get a hold of how things work before posting any more WTB in general discussion section, or try to buy a watch posting directly in the thread and not using PM, nobody will answer to those posts. You will find that our TD's aren't out to scam you and you can build some really nice trust relationships if you prove yourself a stand up guy.
And try to type correctly, it's hard for people to read your posts and won't get you to many positive responses. English is my third language and I still try to write as correctly as possible even though people here are very tolerant with non-native speakers, but a native English speaker typing like that won't get much sympathy.

U must not of read post before yours I forgive your ignorance towards that but it really isn't that hard to get a google voice Number or anything of Tht sort Tht someone can contact u on if people are trying to build a company why not give Number out also first day on here I read a forum Tht said I should ask the Number. And I will do and continue to do so. I don't know anyone here from a can of paint and it's very easy to get scammed. A guy told me to pay for a watch ppgift. And we all know Thts a no no to this site n he been on for years so don't, try to down play me for asking questions. And a little secret I learned in college "that's what people do when they don't know" but as I said b4 IM still learning here and thx for the welcome.
I had to read this 3 times and I'm still a little confused.icard2:

You can correct predictive text you know.
Um . . . . . okay.

Please name said prominent schools. I want to make sure I don't waste my money sending my kids there. I just typed this on my cell phone.
Hi and welcome to RWI :cheers:
We have both native and non-native English speakers, those who speak English as a 2nd or 3rd language and those who don't speak English at all. In the interests of getting your point across to those in all of the above brackets, it'd be really good if you'd consider dropping the 'txt spk'.
It makes it harder for the oldies, those translating in their heads and those using translators.
If you happen to disagree with an opinion, great! it makes the world go around and we're all up for differences, name calling and petty squabbles are a no-no though and would likely lead to a ban in the end. Please do express opinions, I like to hear them on the understanding that in the same way you won't agree with everyone, they won't always agree with you too.
Have a look around, it's been eye opening in my very short time here.
