Monitoring, just to let you know it's stolen.. Not to help do anything about it afterwards hahah.

Guess what? Everyone already has all my email addresses. It's what makes spam filtering difficult :frowning2:

There's a gmail feature that lets you fix this in the future.

"Gmail doesn't offer traditional aliases, but you can receive messages sent to [email protected]. For example, messages sent to [email protected] are delivered to [email protected].
You can set up filters to automatically direct these messages to Trash, apply a label or star, skip the inbox, or forward to another email account."

I miss the days when plus addressing in Gmail would automatically filter that stuff. I use that all the time

I would assume the Bots are smart enough to strip that crap out now

me too, that's super easy to automate. And so common that I'm sure it is built in.

I'm not sure which is more annoying.... the sideways "G" gravatar default or these colored circles with letters in them. Make with the picture uploads, people!

What's weird is - where did that icon even come from? Since we are now only using local avatars on ML, where did ML get that avatar to begin with?

@RojoLoco huh, I thought that is a power button style image. The G never occurred to me.

It's both. And it's a fairly clever combination of the two.

The sideways G is the "Gravatar Generic" for when no avatar exists. The letters are NodeBB defaults for when none exists.

But why would anyone have a gravatar generic on here now? UNless they intentionally uploaded it.

I believe that that is the case.

scottalanmiller

Although the avatar in question is coming from Gravatar, not from the CDN. I'm not sure if you can specify a URL for your avatar or not. If you can, I don't know how it is done But it is only the one.

scottalanmiller

Oh wait, there it is. There is a URL option for the avatar. I suspect that that is what it is.
