Recently several of the OptiBoard Moderators received a spam email from someone who had previously been banned from these forums for spamming the boards with many duplicate advertisements.

This situation brings up a issue that the OptiBoard Staff thought you should be aware of. Namely that we have set up OptiBoard in such a way that your email addresses are kept hidden and cannot be viewed. Consequently no one can find your email address unless you have purposely added it to a message on the Board or to your sig.

Furthermore be aware that the OptiBoard privacy policy clearly states that we will not divulge Members email addresses to a third party without your expressed consent. (See the OptiBoard Privacy Policy.)

Most of the Moderators have made their email addresses publicly availble on these forums, so the fact that we occasionaly get spam email is not surprising. However rest assured that we have taken every precaution to ensure that your private information stays private on these forums.

If you have any questions about this policy, please feel free to write me at [smail]smachol@optiboard.com[/email]. (See, I did it again! :D )
