ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area New Members? Why Are You Hiding?

Joe,
That's unreal, about the Spam excuse, when I first logged on to ECN, I was getting Spam by the hour, mate, since then, it seems to have just gone away.
Although I don't think that ECN is an elixier, for SPAM.
One thing I do know, Joe, a big warm welcome to all New Members.

Thank You.

There has been absolutely no one that has complained about an increase in spam because they were registered at this Forum. I don't like when this subject comes up because it is speculation and does nothing towards encouraging new members to join.

Unless the crafty spammers have circumvented it, one can post one's email with (at) instead of @ and (dot) instead of . and the spam bots will think it is ordinary text.

Like this:

vkkelly(at)stargate(dot)net
=
vkkelly@stargate.net

Plus adding spaces like Joe did in another thread will render the code useless to spambots.

Example: v k k e l l y @ s t a r g a t e . n e t

Virgil,

I don't think that Spam-bots would work here because email addresses are not visible nor are they in any hyperlinks. Places (other Forums) where they are visible may be another story.
