Follow smart security practices when posting to forums and blogs


Attention: Kiwanis Community users are cautioned not to disclose personal identifying information in their posts to blogs, file downloads, groups, or forums – especially e-mail addresses. Web crawlers scan Web sites and public forums to collect this information for spammers to send you unsolicited e-mail. If you MUST post your e-mail address, we recommend that you alter it so that “johndoe@domain.com” becomes “johndoeATdomainDOTcom.”

Kiwanis International may choose to alter forum contact information to protect our users. However, there is no guarantee that Web crawlers cannot exploit the altered e-mail address.
