Spam emails

[ctfphoto]

I signed up for BWE a few weeks ago.

I have notice a big increase in my spam emails since then.

Is there anyway to limit the spammers from getting our email addresses??

Increase in spam you're getting is likely a coincidence.

While having spammers and spam bots occasionally post on BWE and other public forums, I can assure you that they have no way of getting hold of your email address through BWE. By default, your email address is not visible in your user profile.

I have looked up the email addresses you used to register on BWE - I see it is available on multiple sites on the web. Sooner or later, any email address on the web will be picked up by spam bots - they search and catalog any text string with the @ symbol in the middle, and use it to send spam. I'll send you a PM with specific pages I found - you may want to look into removing it from those pages.

Your ISP provides email spam protection filters - you should also look into your account settings to beef up the spam protection level.

Thank you for the reply and the PM.

Yes my email address is out there on numerous websites.

Just thought I would ask.

Have a great weekend.
