Id say we all get together a form a little meet to go kick his gay ***. It will be lots of fun. We can drive all our mitsus and run his *** over, and over again then we can drag him to the strip and he can be the trap. =P well see who can hit him the fastest.

Does it make a difference if your email address is hidden in your profile or not? Or can it be pulled even if it is hidden?

I just hid mine and changed my school email addy to a Yahoo one.

it looks like it was posting to the e-mail form.. The only real solution is to disable in VBulletin the ability to e-mail a user, and only offer private messages.. Since their posting to the e-mail form, it doesn't matter that they don't have your e-mail, their relying on this site to send the mail. The only advantage is their not mailing you directly, and they haven't "Scraped" your mail address for use in future mailings from another location.

Be careful about complaining about spam to sites like Yahoo (your mail service) you could inadvertantly ban ANY e-mail from this site.. Including post notifications and bulletins that the administrators may send.. And not just for yourself, but if you do that and it gets banned to a NOT list, you've basically blacklisted the IP addess or domain (of this site) for ALOT of people. The problem is the spam originated here, so its a bit more tricky.

Don't bother, the account was created for spamming only.. it was probably automated and will never be used by a real life person..

Hey guys,

I got the email too. I've banned the user account and will ban the ip related to the account as well. From there, the best way to prevent this would be to remove the email form option all together. If we do that, members will have to get used to using the pm feature of the site to communicate on a personal level, unless the user allows you to view his/her email address.
