Answers:
1. What is this, why use it?
We provide free services to protect you against unsollicited e-mail,
also known as
spam. Using your e-mail address on the Internet just like that has
become 'dangerous' today. Many automatic systems (e-mail harvesters)
are searching the internet all the time, to find
as many email
addresses as possible. Once your address has been found by spam senders it's
usually spread fast and there's no way back: you will receive
more and more unwanted
e-mail every day. To help prevent this, we offer free images containing
your e-mail address and encoded email links,
which those systems can not read, while human readers still can! Our
methods are safe and completely free. (also read our spam
prevention tips)
2. Why is it completely free?
It's free for this simple reason: we don't want to make
money out of everything we create, and we really hate spam. This
started as a small project for personal use, but we wanted to share the anti-spam
solutions with all internet users worldwide. Our services will always stay
free. If this site grows fast, we might add expanded, paid services, and place
a few ads to support the costs. The email javascripts hosted on this site open
our website in the background every 100 views, and URL forwarding every 30
views as small promotion for us.

3. Are there any limitations?
Basically, NO! We monitor the number
of image views per user. If this exceeds 1000/day,
we
may contact
the user asking for an extra link to us on the user's website, or in extreme
cases a (temporary) ban of the account. If your account requests
over 100 email images a day, please link it to your spam-safe link page (see
HTML & UBB
code on 'view
details' page).
4. Can I use images on a forum?
Yes, you can. BUT: you must link them to your e-mail link page on this site!
(UBB + HTML code available on the 'view details' page) Not doing so could result
in account deletion (see q7).

5. Who can create an account?
Anyone can create an account on this site. However, we do not allow aliases from
domains hosting illegal, discriminating, sexually oriented or otherwise morally
questionable content. At all times, you may have only one (1) account.
6. Can I have more than one account?
No, that is not allowed. If we detect this, you will be banned from using our
services indefinitely! With one account, you can enter up to 3 different e-mail
addresses, all using our free services! Signing up for multiple accounts, means
you will never be able to use our services again.

7. What happens if I violate your rules?
Depending on the severity of the violation, you may be given a warning,
or be banned from using our services (temporarily or forever). The
rules (on this page and the sign-up page) were created for a reason;
everyone
should
be able
to enjoy our free services.
8. Can accounts expire if not used?
Yes. We periodically delete accounts that have not been used for a
few months (eg. having logged in or used images/ link pages).

9. What about my privacy on your site?
We respect your privacy. Your e-mail address is safe with us! Read more here...
10. Can you delete my account?
If you no longer wish to use your account, simply remove any references to
the images, javascripts and pages provided by us! It is deleted automatically
if not used for a few months.
11. I still have a question / something is wrong!
If you have any problems, see our homepage for our contact details. We do not
respond to requests for personal assistance for example with creating an account.
Contact us for example in case you did not receive a confirmation e-mail (wait
at least 24 hours), or to send your feedback on our site such as errors or
suggestions for improvement
(much appreciated) !
