This is now a major problem and i am sure other Admins are having the same problem.... The issue here is that members are sending their personal email addresses to other members via Email, Chat Room etc. to chat on Yahoo and MSN IM. There should be a feature in Skadate Software that prevent members from sending their email addresses to other members via Email and Chat Rooms. I know this feature is possible because i see that AbleDating Software have this feature in their software.

 As a suggestion>>>> Although there is numerous different email addresses such as AOL, HOTMAIL, YAHOO etc. There is one thing that is common among all email addresses, is that they all have the " @ " symbol so if we can prevent that then we should be able to prevent the entire email address from poping up in Emails and Chat Rooms. Anyways, as i said before AbleDating Software has this feature so why NOT Skadate....

There was a neighbor topics around preventing email exchange between members. There's no effective way to  do it because users invent all kinds of tricks for that. If you allow users to exchange arbitrary text it means you can't efficiently eliminate contact details pass there.

Such a feature wouldn't work but only make sites work slower and catching false positives with catch algorithm becoming more complex. I don't think it's a good idea to do a feature that doesn't really work except for being present on the feature list.
