First, I always hide my e-mail from the second I create a username. Second, if the moderators and even Paul warn us so much about letting our e-mail be open to access, then why doesn't Paul just get rid of the option to show our e-mails, and just not allow us to show our e-mails, and if we want people to know our e-mails, we'll just pm them.

I've been having really really odd spam to another email addy of mine - just a garbled bit of Engrish as the title, but a line from a poem and a link inside the email. An example would be

title: \\\Believe!\\\

Message - Endured experience in your queer, kind face,

And then a link to a website selling things, or a phishing scam. Really really odd, but thankfully it didn't come from here...

If you get spam you shouldn't open the email really, best to delete it instantly to save them realising its a real email or worse
