An Open Letter on Comments


iconFirst, I want to point out that I have taken painstaking efforts to make this site e-mail address free. I started by trolling all the pages of HTML and taking out any [email protected] I could find. I also took down the guestbook because it was getting hit by spambots as many as 10 times a day. I also changed all my templates so that any comments left on this site would display a URL (if there is one), or just the name. Commenters inputting their email addresses can rest assured that they will not be published in any HTML code where the spambots can find them.

Second, I want to encourage other webmasters to do the same. A large percentage of spam comes from email addresses culled off of websites by spambots. They search all your HTML files, looking for anything in [email protected] format. With some creative template editing, you should be able to remove all email addresses from your web site, and take a bite out of spam.

Sincerely,

Staff Writers of Ravenwood's Universe
