Email Artist from Non - Dmusic members

NosmoKing	Date: July 24, 2008 @ 6:06 AM It seems that anybody can email you via your Email this artist on your page. This leaves the door wide open for spam and much worse. It can be anonymous. Unlike comments and shouts that people must be logged in, there is NO security or accountability in this section. Food for thought! I would have to believe this is unintentional and should be fixed.
FraDonaghy	Date: July 24, 2008 @ 10:50 PM An easy way around it is to just fill in a fake email address in your "settings" tab. However, I have been here 4 years (and 2 days!) and I have never had anyone email me using that function.
BOWILLIE	Date: July 25, 2008 @ 3:35 AM if im not mistaken there use to be.. in the process of making the account it had a do you wish emails and newsletters sent to you..you use to could enable/disable that option..but i cant find it anymore.

NosmoKing	Date: July 25, 2008 @ 3:38 AM Understood you were able to disable emails.. but my point is, sometimes they could be a good thing.. but not when coming from outside sources with no accountability. They should just fix it!
BOWILLIE	Date: July 25, 2008 @ 3:39 AM ah..good point
NosmoKing	Date: July 25, 2008 @ 3:40 AM I usually muster up one at least once a year
zedsalt	Date: July 26, 2008 @ 3:17 AM I don't recall being given the choice, but I think there used to be an "email this artist" link on my user page. It wouldn't readily provide the address; one would either have to do a little work or work a little code to end up with it. Frankly, that was more security than what I felt I personally needed (the address I gave DM is the same one that's plastered all over musicians referral sites all over the web), but it seemed like a nice compromise. I didn't notice when that link left my page, and it has been quite a while since I received a DMusic newsletter. When was the most recent one to go out? Have I been dropped from the list somehow?
