[https://www.reddit.com/r/ScamNumbers/] 1. Do not post personal phone numbers.
You are NOT allowed to post personal phone numbers of any kind, including the
scammer’s personal phone number. 2. No harassment. This community strictly
forbids harassing other people, for example by posting other’s personal phone
numbers to prank call them. If prank calling scammers, please to not overly
harass them. There is a line between a small joke prank call and completely
harassing someone. 3. No “Any numbers?” posts No “Anyone have any numbers?”-type
posts are allowed. That’s what the whole point of the sub is. Sort the subreddit
by “New” to see (possibly) active numbers. Other questions are fine though. 4.
No scambait videos/pictures without contact info Videos and pictures of
scambaits must include the scammer’s contact information somewhere that is
easily visible (title, thumbnail, top bar of texting apps, etc.).
With almost 40k subscribers on Reddit, r/ScamNumbers is one of the most useful online databases for tracking down scam phone numbers. Some use the information for awareness, while others take advantage by prank calling scammers to waste their time.
Whatever the case may be, we have a zero-tolerance policy towards personal phone numbers. We have enforced this rule severely on Reddit and will do the same here.
Another problem is if you’re trying to sub to a community on lemmy.zip, it can be impossible if the server hosting your instance has blocked all .zip domains through their hosts file or even their Lemmy instance. You would be able to see it, but your instance won’t.
People and admins not trusting that TLD can be just as detrimental to people interacting with legit sites on that TLD, as its potential for abuse is at making it untrustworthy to begin with
