Email address privacy setting

sarahacott
Hi

Is there a way of hiding users email addresses? My forum is for young people and for child protection I need their email addresses to be seen by administrators only. Is this possible?

Thanks

Sarah

The true email address of any user of Nabble software is obscured automatically , so you have no worries. (Logon as a user with non-Administrator permissions to confirm this.)

Obviously, it would make many forums unusable if Nabble detected and obscured mail addresses in the body of messages. Wouldn't you want children to see where they should write to for vital information on your forum?

And what do you propose about those who post invalid but human readable address such as "me at mydomain dot com" to avoid having an address harvested by robots?

Perhaps I misunderstand your question?
