Hello,
I was brought to this forum through the acquisition of coticule.be.
All of the posts that I made on coticule.be were brought to this forum successfully, however my posts show my email address instead of a "forum name."
This is completely unacceptable, as I'm sure you know, there are thousands of bots that constantly scrub through internet forums to find email address for spam purposes.
I have been unable to find how to change the displayed name on my forum posts to something other than my email address. Over the past several weeks, I have noticed that the amount of spam I receive on a daily basis has gone up by a factor of TEN. I now know why... this forum has been publicly displaying my email address. I am now getting HUNDREDS of spam emails daily.
PLEASE CHANGE MY DISPLAYED FORUM NAME TO "Phlier" IMMEDIATELY.
I think it is fantastic that Bart's forum lives on, but the manner in which email address became easily viewed by every spam bot in the world is simply not ok.
