How did she get your email?

Question for moderators: Is there a setting we should set or change to prevent this?

BP no spam here but Nick has tried to register twice and keeps getting locked out because the board software thinks he is a smapper. (you and I both know that he is!)

I don't see anywhere where you can let anyone see your email address.

All new registrations are checked against Stop Forum Spam

So, as far as new users who register and are told they are a spammer it's because they either are a spammer or picked a username, email address, or IP address previously used by a known forum spammer.

I just got some email but it referenced PGO forum. It appears the spammers maybe combing the forums.

if you go to "settings" up at the top right of the forum

then "general settings" in the left column in a box "my settings"

from the general settings page there is a section called "vcard download"
this section says "You may choose to allow other users to download a vCard containing your email address and username -- If you want to keep your email address private, do not allow vCard downloads" there is a box to allow or not allow
