Showing Your Email in a Post or Thread
When a new user first registers and fills out the required spaces to register, entering your email address will not leave you open to 'spam', as you can choose to hide it from other board users. However, if you post your email directly in a post or thread after you have been a registered user & gone through the moderation period, you are leaving yourself open to spammers.
Yes, most spammers are deleted when they make their 1-6th post attempt. However, anyone can register and not post anything, just look around and read what occurs on a day-today basis. If a spammer, who has never posted, or any guest a non-registered viewer, sees a valid email address openly posted in a post or thread, that Campateer is leaving his/her self opened to be spammed or worse. Being forewarned, is fore-armed!
