[QUOTE="PC Electrics, post: 176871, member: 650"] An excellent point Manator. I've PM'd a few people to suggest they remove these details from posts. There are people (I use the term loosly) out there who use 'bots' (I think they're called) to trawl websites for phone numbers and email addresses. they then sell the lists they create. Putting your details on a post on any public access site is asking for tons of spam and 'sales' calls. Perhaps you could modify the swear filters to look for phone numbers and emails and filtet them out (or at least highlight them to ask the poster if they [I]really want[/I] to go ahead)? [/QUOTE]
