Still, if my email is showing I'm sure it will come. I have signed up but to be frank it never occurred to me that my email would automatically show up. I don't mind because I'm using gishpuppy but otherwise I'd steer well clear. That's the first problem - lots of people won't sign up if they can't hide their email. I think the best approach is to have an internal communication system for members only - FaceBook not always known for privacy concerns has this, RedBubble has an internal bubblemail, and .. the list goes on. And then it gets worse. If I use my standard email and start getting spam, how will I know where it comes from? It's possible to check the headings and so on and try a trace but spammers are good at hiding their tracks. If I use gishpuppy, I know who is spamming me and can cancel immediately. The consequences for the forum are not good. The forum loses a member. The forum may be identified publicly as a source of spam and marked down on WOT and similar sites. The forum will get bounced undelivered mails. I'm confident that there must always be an option for the email not to show. One other idea for a forum (and any site) is to design the robots.txt file carefully to exclude known malignant crawlers. This needs some care as it has SEO implications - don't want to exclude Google by mistake. Thanks for visiting again Hi

I wonder if there are plugins I need to install or options I need to set where the email address isn't displayed. Are you thinking that the email address was harvested by a crawler or that the mailing list was sold by the forum administrator. FYI - if you signed up for my forum and got spam, I'm really sorry - I can start looking into ways to cut down on the spam if that is the case.

I've conflated Custom Functions and the Dial modes in my mind. As I think this is such an important issue I'm going to clarify it in my next post. Hi
