I used a sneakemail.com address when I signed up to mmorpg.com.  It's the only place I've ever used that particular address.  Today I've started receiving spam through that address.  Luckily I can just delete the address to stop it.

How's that happened?

All I can say is OUCH.  I have a separate email address just for this type of problem.  I have one for trials I sign up for and another address for forums I want to join.

 

I feel your pain!

Don''t mock me my friend. It''s a condition of mental divergence.

Happened to me too, I just got my $15 in the mail for the sale, along with a certification for VCR Repair, I got my GED now!

Serious though you don't know for sure that it was MMORPG, spammers have their ways.

EDIT: Just incase you couldn't tell MMORPG didn't sell my E-Mail adress.

We're not selling addresses, they're finding them via profiles or sending to username@mmorpg.com addresses :( I know it sucks, but there's little we can do.

Just go into your profile under options and look below the entry box for your e-mail address.

It doesn't hide it by default, but it's not hard to change.

Someone offered me a cup of cold day-old coffee and an only slightly expired Ring DIng for your address, man. Hope you don't mind.

Taera, maybe Skywiseknight or one of the others could make it hide the e-mails by default. Won't stop the @mmorpg.com spamming, but it'll cut down a little on the personal spam, espe
