I set up a test account to verify that my statement is correct.
First screenshot is my account now, after adjusting my Privacy settings.
Second screenshot is a test account I set up and checked the Privacy settings immediately after registering. As you can see, "All Visitors" can view my profile details.
Third screenshot are the account details that "All Visitors" can view - which includes my email address.
I should mention, that I use an iCloud service that creates email aliases for all online accounts I have to keep my email address unique and private to each website I register on - meaning the email address I have used to register here is unique - no one can find it unless the website allows it to be leaked. So, that person
[email protected] got my email address from the forums here - before I noticed that my email address was exposed because the default settings do not make that information private to Members here.
I'm not posting this to cause any drama, but I believe that the default settings for new registrants should be changed at the very least, and perhaps those more restrictive permissions to account details can be applied site-wide to help close the door to this kind of data harvesting.
Any protection from scammers would be greatly appreciated
@Michael and changing these settings would be helpful - as an Administrator the change should be trivial.
Thanks again for the awesome resource - I love the community here!
Regards,
Mark
