 It's not really an issue, but I'm just curious as to why this is. Is it a feature of SMF that can't be disabled? Or is it there for an actual reason? |

I'm certain this is why I get so much spam.

No, I wouldn't say that (although I could be missing out on sarcasm...), but I am curious as to why this is. |

Only the specific board moderator(s) can see your email when you report a post. For example if you report a post in the Greek board (in which I'm the board moderator), I receive an email from the forum saying that you reported a post, and that's when I can see your email (in my mailbox, not in the forum) Also, if you report a post made by a newbie, your email is not known to all the patrollers, but as I said only to the board moderator (if there is one) |

So reports in sections without local board moderators still keep your email hidden. Alright, thanks for the info. |

Yes, as none would receive an email. Although I don't know if the global moderators can see your email, but I doubt it. |

No, if you set your email to be hidden not even staff members can see your email (except from admins of course) |

This feature should be removed imo. If a nefarious person ever became a moderator of a board the exposed email could be used to hack the account. I have no reason to believe any of the current mods are dodgy but the number of accounts that get hacked via the email address is always surprising to me. Or maybe it's just the NSA or NWO that is doing that...  |

I completely agree with the above statement. Could we have a poll or some other means to decide whether revealing the email-id is required? I have considered changing my email-id entered into a junk id, just because of this warning. |
