Spammer harvesting Rockbox forum emails (was: Don't want to be a bug but...)

<< < (5/8) > >>

AlexP:
What is the default though (I signed up so long ago, I can't remember)?  And if it is not hidden by default, is this something we have any control over?  If so, it might be an idea to hide by default.

Llorean:
The default is "show", but the checkbox is right next to the box you type your email address into while registering. Log out, and click "Register" and you'll see it. I'd have to do some digging to change, but at the same time, I think it's so incredibly obvious that the people who don't see it are also the people who don't scroll down that page and read the agreement (it's far more obvious), and I have a hard time feeling sympathetic with people who aren't interested in reading everything and being good members of the community.

I do suppose that's a little callous of me though, but honestly, we can't help how we feel.

AlexP:
One quick log out and in later...

Hah, yeah, that is really very obvious.

NaFIann:
yeah you're absolutely right Llorean, usually I check for such things, don't know how I missed it this time.

I didn't mean to suggest it was the fault of rockbox ops, but just meant to warn people that those emails were hoaxes (incredibly, many people still fall for these mails)

Llorean:
What makes me curious is why the spammer is telling people it came from our forums (or what about the spam tells you he got the email address from here), since nobody's really clearly explained that one yet.
