Hi,

I'm getting a lot of spam redirected to my site and e-mail from here, I posted up e-mail addresses quite a few years ago and came back to edit them out. I'm not able to edit these posts, but they are archived.

Can an admin please remove my website URL and e-mail address from my posts on this site? Thanks!

- After a week of posting, you would clearly be unable to edit post and it then becomes Read-Only but I'm unsure if any moderators themselves would be able to change the email addresses for you?

However, if they can't, the person who I would rely on is alex himself?

I think it would be a waste of time removing the email address anyway. Once the spammers have got an email address they will keep spamming it and selling it to other spammers. When one of my email addresses ends up being targeted for spam I throw it away and set up a new one.

It's the best thing to do, there's no way to keep them away once they've found you. I had to set a new one up because my old one was clogged with spam.
