Why did i get this message by *Saint* on 01-15-2005 at 06:16 PM
Whats this and did anyone else get it
How did they get my email and know i was a member of this forum?
Attachment removed because it exposed someone else's email address. The attachment in Sunshine's post (see below) still shows what the issue is.

I got this too. Some one has got everyone's e-mails off this forum and have done a mass-advertisement me thinks.

because you put your msn address in your profile.

I didn't get any spam and I have my msn address in my account... 
RE: Why did i get this message by _Humphreys on 01-16-2005 at 08:47 PM
I do and did have my email adress public on this forum and that's why I got the advert. But people shouldn't do that.
RE: Why did i get this message by paperless on 01-16-2005 at 11:38 PM
Well i didnt receive any spam either but some people here did, and i dont think that getting the emails of people from this place without permission and using them to advertise is not very good

My friend got the same thing... but he wasn't a user to this forum .
RE: Why did i get this message by zaidgs on 01-26-2005 at 03:10 AM
this problem is serious and many advertizing companies do similar actions thats why i avoid putting my emails as public.
although this is not gonna be the best solution but i think that there should be some terms when signing up with this forum (or other forums) not to collect emails, then even public emails should not be shown to guests, but only to members who agreed to the terms of service.
surely such terms will not stop spammers but maybe they'd help
