I dont think thats an issue, actually thats how one should post email address on public forums to avoid the bots.

In a study of our recent server logs we discovered that at a single given time we had over 18 email address harvesters (a software/script) scanning Traderji.com for email addresses. These email harvesters put a severe load on our servers which in turn slows down the forum.

Since this forum is for discussions and not a place to share email addresses I sincerely request all forum members to stop posting email addresses with immediate effect. Any member requesting other members for email addresses or any member posting any email address will be BANNED immediately.

Hmmm.....good decision,and about time.

Keyrequired, if you host a website yourself, then you will realise the havoc played by bots and spiders on your server. Traderji is right in banning live email ids. In fact many forums with active moderators delete such posts and caution the posters. For repeated violations, members are banned. That is the only right & professional way of running a forum board.

The idea is to stop every member from posting email addresses. If members can go back and delete all the email addresses they have posted that definately would be appreciated.
