    Email restrictions

    I made a topic, and wanted to make a way possible for people to contact me, as I'm unable to send or receive private messages.

    I read the topic concerning how best to post your email address:

    http://filipinaroses.com/showthread....-Email-address..

    So I understand the problem with spambots crawling the forum, picking up email addresses (and i'm sure they're smart enough to search for the string "*atyahoodotcom" or "athotmaildotcom" etc. and decipher one's email address). So I figured it was fine to post my email address in a picture (I mean it's going to be harder to find spambot software sophisticated to O.C.R my email address in a photo than in plain text). However, the post was still edited:

    "Photo removed for own safety - do not use personal email links"

    I'm not trying to cause trouble here, but would appreciate it if someone could advise me how best to approach this. I've seen others post email addresses, so figured it was my own responsibility, after all it wasn't even my main email address, so not sure how my own safety was compromised?

    Ok, understood. That's a perfectly valid answer. I'm happy to stay here, and earn your trust.

    Although, in general if no one can put their contact info down on the relationships/dating/friendship section, then only those that have been on the forum for a long time can communicate in that section. Most of which are perhaps unlikely to be seeking a relationship. - so it renders the ad ineffective.

    I have multiple email accounts (gmail,msn messenger). The email i used in the photo was good because a) it meant people with msn could chat to me straight away, and b) it meant that I wouldn't get "filipino/dating" emails messed up with my regular emails.

    edit: Thanks for giving me "Member" privileges.
