Publishing your personal email address

sliphi

According to the forum rules:
"...you're not allowed to advertise any goods, services and/or companies anywhere on the forum, or through private messages, no matter how honourable your intentions.
'Advertising' includes touting for business; asking people to contact you; posting e-mail addresses, ..."

Furthermore, they state:
"Forum users should not post their personal details (full names, email addresses, home addresses or telephone numbers) or anyone else's on the forum or send them via private message."

So why does this new forum now allow users the option to publish their email address as part of their user profile?


Perhaps this is an unwelcome option that the Forum Team should consider removing?
I believe this option also allows non-members to view your email address, as anyone (including those not logged in) can view a user's profile.

In the meantime, I would urge all members to check their own user profile to ensure this option is NOT ticked.

My e-mail option isn't ticked - but the Display Skimlinks is.  Um - what are skimlinks?

ADD.  Found it - turned that off as well.
