Posting your email address in the forum section or other places is NOT a good idea.
Posting your address like that, Spammers or trouble makers will then be able to gather your email address.

Everyone is required to sign up with your valid email address when you register on this site.
That email address cannot be viewed by anyone but a member that is logged in to WhalerCentral.
All members that want to email you can view your profile and send you an email.
This way, non-members will not be able to harvest your email address and sell it on the open market.
This helps in your security and privacy.

We highly recommend not posting your email address in the discussion areas. comments, etc.
Simply suggest to other members to look in your profile if they want to contact you via an email.
If you have chosen to "Hide" your email in your profile, then no one will see your email address or be able to send you an email except the admins here.

If anyone needs to change their email in their profile to keep it up to date, just let us know.
By sending us an email, we then can confirm and verify that address and can update it for you.

Hope this helps as we take security and privacy very importantly here.
