We all hate getting spammed. But no matter how hard we try to avoid it spammers still find a way to get a hold of our emails. One way to get spammed is by placing your email address on sites that are publicly accessed like forums, blogs, etc… I strongly advise everybody not to share email addresses in such sites because it would be very easy for spam bots to harvest your email address, but if there is really a need to do so then you must hide you email address by posting it as an image! Text inside images could not be crawled by spambots.
