I've been away from sportsfilter for a few weeks and one thing I've noticed is that my spam has gone way down. Around the time that I joined sportsfilter, I noticed my spam went way up but I assumed it wasn't sportsfilter but some other internet accident. However it does make me think...anyone else noticed increased spam?

Actually, I've been getting some completely new spam from "The Porn Lottery" and a lot of unsolicited stuff from nexdeals. I have no evidence that they are related to sportsfilter, though.

I haven't experienced an increase in spam since joining here, and none of the @sportsfilter.com addresses are getting spammed yet, which leads me to think that the site hasn't been crawled by an e-mail harvester yet. I think it's unrelated. We're going to implement a change on the site that hides e-mail addresses to non-members. This should prevent them from showing up in spam lists as a result of being here.
