Are mods the only ones that can see your e-mail address? If so how does a user e-mail you? Not PM you, but e-mail you.

There is an actual contact function, I believe. They don't see your e-mail, but they type in the message and the site emails you with the message. That's the impression I got.

Minerva, I went to your profile, and the contact tab isn't there anymore, so I guess you can turn it off so that you're unreachable. Brandon still has his.

Everyone here has already made the correct assumptions. But I'll restate them in bulleted list form, which makes them more official.

  • Admins are the only people who can view your email address
  • We don't give your email addresses to anyone, though we may send you the occasional newsletter. You can of course opt out of those.
  • Members can email you directly, but your email is sent from the website. They never see your email address.
  • If you don't want to get emails from members, you can edit your profile and uncheck the "Personal Contact Form" box.
  • If you reply to the email they sent you, they will then be able to see your email address, since that info is stored in the email header.

If anyone needs minerva's email address, they can paypal me $10. Tongue

it's comforting, knowing that you can be part of a huge community and ALSO choose to maintain your privacy. as a striving yet poor and unpublished writer, i want all of my info available at all times. you never know who may be roaming these halls..

but i dont want g-black emailing min or tobii twenty times a night

i've always much appreciated this facet to the site

Or email policies have never changed. If someone got your email here, they either used the form (which doesn't show your address to them) or someone else posted it. The only exception would be if you share your MSN or Yahoo screen names, since those are email addresses.

Ha! How did I miss this?!

I'm usually weary about checking back in any of the threads I make here because I'm afraid I'll get scolded.
