I usually try to stay out of these discussions, but:

I honestly had no idea that posting someone's phone number
with permission would be against the rules. Seeing as a person would be allowed to post their own info, I would have just assumed that someone else could post it for them if they had permission from the person the info (phone number) was about.

That question doesn't seem to apply to this situation really easily. DM wasn't asked to do something that was against the rules. At least, I think most people would have assumed that it would be perfectly all right.
The question would probably be better worded as "If I tell you to go jump onto a pile of pillows, would you?"
Because most people would assume the pillows were safe and would go ahead and jump.
Just a question I was thinking about, about the new "personal info" rules.
If I posted a picture of myself, and in that picture was another member of CC, would it be fair to say "The guy wearing the red shirt is me, the username of the guy standing next to me is _________." Or would that be counted as personal info also?
Because if so, you guys will find quite a few people to bust in the 500+ pages of the "Post a Picture of Yourself" thread.
Or personal info (just a picture and the name) of me and someone NOT on CC, which would also apply to many of the posts in the "picture of yourself" thread. Just curious...
