E-mail address display


The manner in which e-mail addresses are displayed on the site has been changed in order to protect them from would-be Spammers.

Instead of showing an address completely, it will be mostly hidden with '#' characters (example: account @ cabl.com becomes (-REDACTED-) )

The underlying link to the address will have one of three actions depending on the user viewing it:

a) Verified user: the complete address is shown and linked as in the past.

b) Anonymous but registered: a form is provided to send an e-mail from the server without giving the address directly. The account's validated address is used for the e-mail's return address so that if the message is rejected for any reason, the failure notice will be sent directly to the user.

c) Not logged on: no access to the address


Access to addresses is now logged. Any account that accesses a disproportionate amount will be flagged for examination should an instance of abuse occur.

If you feel that anyone has taken your e-mail address from this site in order to send unsolicited e-mail (Spam) then please notify me.
