I looked at the link above. I find this particular item to be especially interesting:

2. Be welcoming, especially to newer members. It's tough being the new kid on the block, so please be especially kind and welcoming to newcomers.
If you think I'm (or anyone else is) being rude, please, report it. I'm actually just informing you of a rule or two that should be followed.

If I said some disparaging comments about you because you posted personal contact info, then that would definitely be an attack. This however, is me being a Member Moderator.

Actually the proper place to introduce yourself would be to write a full and proper profile.
On the advice site I think he only needs to post something like this (sans contact info).

If you do post your profile for review it goes on the 'using eharmony' board. There's a post that tells you how to do it.

Be prepared for lots of 'advice'.

Ed, here is a link to the instructions (PROFILE REVIEW INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES - updated 12/1/10) on how to post your profile for review, if you want to. That is purely up to you. If you do decide to post your profile please post it on the Using eHarmony board. I'm going to find my Welcoming Committee members and tell them to "welcome" you.

Actually, "I" (being the CL team) could stop you from posting stuff that was personal contact info.

As I said, introducing yourself is perfectly fine. It's the contact info that is not.
I know you can do that. I agree that you should.

I meant that I thought the main purpose of the section was to introduce ourselves and we were using it for something else, so you just let us, instead of telling everyone to stop. Now I know otherwise.

I didn't see the personal contact info left by the OP. That was a little unsafe for him to do.

Exactly why we delete stuff like that. Not everyone is a nice person and if someone posts their contact info it wouldn't surprise me if they started to receive some strange messages in the very near future.

The only thing I posted was my OKC username which is pretty much out there in the wild anyways. No biggie, now we all know that is not allowed by the mods here.

Since I don't know you, I can't tell if this is sincere or sarcasm. I'll take the high road and believe the former.

I am curious, Andie, if you, personally, welcome me here?

Hi Edin SD ... and welcome to eHA.

Let's take a little reset here. You unknowingly broke a rule here with your first post (no personal contact info). Oops! You got moderated -- the info was deleted and a moderator informed you of the problem, which is their job. There, it's over.

There are a number of posting rules here that you might not have encountered on other discussion boards, so it's worthwhile to read the Community Standards: eHarmony Advice Community Standards | eHarmony Advice

Very happy to have you here and I hope you enjoy it. Please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.
