[glow=green,5,0]Could we work out a no Spam policy for out e-mail addresses? The internet is full of bots that do nothing but crawl round web pages collecting e-mail addresses. Spammers use these addresses to offer us handy services like penis enlargement and cheap mortgages. I know all the English among us have a need to the first one of these however the Scots are all hung like a child's arm holding a peach and have no use for them. Part of preventing E-mail Spam is being responsible with your e-mail address.. like no posting it in an open format on a web page. The problem is easily solved by adding a few obvious words to your e-mail address that will confuse the bots but can easily be removed by a real person. Something like simonNO@SPAMecosse.net or simon.REMOVE@THIS.BIT.ecosse.net or Simon.IS HUNG@LIKE.A.RACE.HORSE.ecosse.net
comments?

Well I've took out all those mails from the main profile menu so that now the mails can be seen only each wormer's profile... How's that?

[glow=green,5,0]Sorry to say that it doesn't matter where the e-mail addresses are on a web site, they will be found. The only way to avoid the spam problem is to actually alter the addresses. You would have to add a little explanation as to how alter the addresses to be usable but it would take much.
If anyone wants to test the spam factor: Those of you who have there own e-mail account from there ISP and have a mailbox to spare, set up a new one with an address that you will never use and get Crespo to put the address up somewhere on the CWT web pages (any page will do as long as it is accessible via a link). Check that mail box every now and then and see how long it takes for it to start getting spam. I'd say it will take about 2 weeks.

The way I figure it a man who wears a dress should be packing to overcome the shrinkage factor caused from the cold updraft in a kilt on a winter day. KEEP DREAMING Us English folk are so well hung we have to remove one of our shoes of so we can take the tip out of our socks to piss! well I do anyway.ROFL

We could get round this by displaying the email addresses as image files as opposed to text.
