Please modify your PROFILE as your hotmail.co.uk email address is visible to spammers and scammers! 
By the way, only you and the Moderators should be able to see it! 
I'm going to be blunt: I am sick of this.
I am sick and tired of you prancing around the forum telling other people how they should and should not share and distribute
their own damn E. mail address.
No, I'm not modifying my E. mail address's visibility just so it suits your own preferences. I simply cannot stand people like you who try to get people to change simply because they are not using settings or options which you are using.
"Please modify your
PROFILE"? No. YOU please kindly back off. At least, back off me, if not everyone else. Your E. mail address privacy posts blatantly clog up topics unnecessarily, and
I at least find it rather irritating.
That said, I appreciate that your heart is in the right place, what with trying to help protect people's privacy and all. However, your brain I.M.O. blatantly is not in the right place on this, as you see fit to tell so many users in topics how much their E. mail address should not be public, and all this "Oh but you MUST change your E. mail address privacy!", even though A: You are not any form of official avast! staff, and B: It's not your bloody E. mail address, it's theirs.
Look, if someone joins a forum on the Internet and makes their E. mail address publicly visible, that's their own choice. If they are not aware that it is public, well then they obviously should have done the
smart thing and checked/researched regarding E. mail address visibility options prior to setting up an account, shouldn't they? Yes, of course.
I myself am not trying to act like avast! staff, nor an administrator or moderator. I am also not trying to be inconsiderate or nasty. I'm simply saying that I find this really annoying, off-topic, and somewhat topic disjointing.
Now, that's quite some paragraphs, so I'll end this post here. I will not speak further on this matter. Any future posts towards me from you (Or from anyone, for that matter.) asking me to change my account settings (Without any rational reasons.) will be blatantly ignored.
Furthermore, I am aware that my own Forum is offline, because I took it offline. This has nothing to do with this topic and is totally irrelevant.
Additionally, if you'd like to continue trying to coax me into changing my own settings, I'd much prefer it if you did so via forum private messages. Cheers.
Thank you and good day. None of my E. mail privacy settings were changed.
