Question about a popular site on these boards... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

At the site " tvshowsondvd.com ", when anyone signed up for that site to vote, did you start getting spam e-mails? I just wanna make sure it's not a place that's use my e-mail address or anything.

Spam gets to your e-mail from every corner of the internet. Say you give out your e-mail to one certain website, it might give it out to others, or spammers might search for address' on that site. There's really nothing you can do these days about it.

Yeah, And sadly Spam Block Only gets rid of about half of it.

Well I know how it works, and I wanted to avoid saying it like this, but; "Does "TVShowsOnDVD give out your e-mail address to spammers"?

Nope. I believe they have a privacy policy that says so. I didn't see any increase in spam after signing up with them.
