- diggydougie, on 05/18/2009, -6/+52Good thing I don't use Twitter.
Isn't it enough that nobody pays any attention to me here on digg? - SitPoMk, on 05/18/2009, -0/+24That's not going to do much against a harvest coder with an extra 5 minutes
- sockpuppets, on 05/18/2009, -0/+21sockpuppets@gmail.com

site:[forum.url.here] "@gmail.com"
not only ***** loads of emails, but targeted ones since they're from the same forum. Hate me now :D - trisweb, on 05/18/2009, -2/+17Um... don't give the internet your e-mail address in plain text. That's just dumb, and so is this.
- sockpuppets, on 05/18/2009, -0/+13I never found out why cialis was imprisoned to begin with.
- inactive, on 05/18/2009, -1/+11I twittered about reading your comment.

- TyrannousDotNet, on 05/18/2009, -0/+7Thats not really a trick...
- cowsgonemadd3, on 05/18/2009, -0/+7Runs off to take a poop. BRB
- SitPoMk, on 05/18/2009, -2/+8I twittered when I was pooping an hour ago. About my poop. Now I'm sharing my post-poop musings.
- IllBeBack, on 05/18/2009, -0/+5Wow, your vagina is very well-trimmed. Nice job.
- inactive, on 05/18/2009, -0/+5Digg comments have a neat feature, though. If you type your email here, it appears as astericks for everyone else. For example, my email address is ***********
- damntourists, on 05/18/2009, -1/+6your complicating it too much. just make a php mail form on your contact page, that way noone gets your email. not even someone physically clicking a link.
- ivan423, on 05/18/2009, -1/+6We just had a 5.0 earthquake in Los Angeles. It's pandemonium 2009! Everything is crazy as hell.
- inactive, on 05/18/2009, -4/+8In before a bunch of nerds get their panties in a bunch over a Twitter submission.
Whoops, too late. Bury this. - llamasonic, on 05/18/2009, -0/+4hate spam as much as the next guy but if you post your email as text for anyone to see, you deserve spam.
- nerddtvg, on 05/18/2009, -0/+4So... this is new? You can search pretty much everything and find some emails.
- ramsinks.com, on 05/18/2009, -0/+3that's why you sign up for digg/twitter/crap with your spam account.
- inactive, on 05/18/2009, -12/+15Well, it's a good thing I don't like Twitter then.
- lavis88, on 05/18/2009, -0/+3No *****!
- ludditte, on 05/18/2009, -1/+4twitter, that is so last week
- Thorpe, on 05/18/2009, -0/+3I would tend to use the direct messaging feature if you want to chat privately or give someone your e-mail address. To use that though, you have to be mutual.
- NorrisOBE, on 05/18/2009, -1/+4Hello, i'm a Nigerian prince.
- Howitzer86, on 05/18/2009, -0/+3There is this thing called a Private Message.
- cyssero, on 05/18/2009, -0/+3I don't even bother using [at] any more, it's literally useless. If bots can figure out CAPTCHAs that humans can't, what's a measly [at] going to do to them?
- TyrannousDotNet, on 05/18/2009, -0/+3isnt not putting your email in public in general a good idea?
- FatBurger, on 05/18/2009, -0/+3I think having to see that website was worse than any spam I might get.
- BenBenMan, on 05/18/2009, -0/+3And I'm a PC!
- Bloodwine, on 05/18/2009, -1/+3I HTML encode my email address if it is ever published on any of my sites.
Sure that is trivial for a program to test for HTML entities and decode them, but I am betting on the path of least resistance. I am hoping that they don't want to waste the CPU cycles to deal with anything beyond trivial because they are still harvesting 90% of the emails they come across. Why go through extra effort for a few troublemakers? - inactive, on 05/18/2009, -1/+3because its so ***** easy.
i took a class this winter and making an email harvester was the first (and our easiest) project.
We had like a week and were able to catch probably those 90% you speak of. The way you can represent an email address in text hasn't changed much in the last 20 years, spammers have the advantage in every way. All email harvesting still represented as plaintext is trivial.
Put your email in a picture, encrypt it, or use some harder encoding than &entities; - jcaino, on 05/18/2009, -1/+3? I figured that would be common sense.
- hannahmar, on 06/11/2009, -7/+8Like I needed another reason to dislike twitter
- hollywoodphony, on 05/18/2009, -0/+1Thanks for the tip! I'll get started on that right away, because you see, Staats Loterij International has just concluded its final draws of it's periodical promotional program.An exclusive list of email addresses of thousands of individual and corporate bodies were picked by automated random computer search from the internet.No tickets were sold.Your email address emerged as one of five(5) winners in the silver stakes category as email addresses were soughted, from a total number of 75,000 addresses drawn from all over the globe.
- partysan, on 05/18/2009, -0/+1Attention whores want attention, so there you go. In the form of 413 "Is your little friend long? You can get +4 inches within weeks" e-mail messages a day.
- damntourists, on 06/14/2009, -0/+1@zippyv, so if a user disabled JavaScript, then they can't contact you.
- nepidae, on 05/18/2009, -0/+1Haha
- Haplo, on 05/18/2009, -0/+1You're wrong (no surprise there). You and people who think alike are one of the reasons why there is still spam.
- damntourists, on 05/18/2009, -0/+1@zippyV: its more efficient for a spider to pull raw html data, and search within the data for patterns that will reveal any possible email addresses. i highly doubt that the spiders simulate a person clicking around on a page.
- damnshoes, on 05/18/2009, -0/+1your sunglasses are awesome.
- SitPoMk, on 05/18/2009, -0/+1Bots can figure out CAPTCHAs that humans can't?
- monroep09, on 05/18/2009, -1/+2Twitter still gets the front page
- ZippyV, on 05/18/2009, -1/+2On my homepage I use a javascript that inserts the e-mail address in the <a> tag when the user moves the cursor over the e-mail link. Most spiders don't execute javascript so I'm pretty safe.
