I suppose it is common to assume that a system functions as it should, and perhaps that someone posting from Beijing might be trying to sell something. In my case, neither is correct.
When I enter text, it seems to default to <email removed> regardless of what I've entered.
1. I do not mention or link to any form of email.
2. I do not mention or link to any website.
3. None of those things are in my sig. I don't use one, don't quote, and don't use an avatar (so nothing is uploaded).
4. I have run a virus scan and come up clean.
Aside from the fact that I'm an American academic teaching at a Chinese university -- which means I live in, and post from China, I am not aware of anything that might be causing this problem. I could just blow it off and go back to reading the forum without posting, but I've come across a problem logging into the game that I was really hoping I could get help with. Instead, I'm finding it impossible to post, and people seem to assume I must be unable to read/follow the TOS and list rules. This seems to be a source of amusement or pride for some of the regulars, but it is a less than pleasant introduction to posting on this forum -- one that I've been following for several months now.
Assuming, for sake of argument, that I might really be trying to use the forum to ask a real question -- is there a setting that I am missing that might be causing my posts to get this blasted "email removed" when I am not entering email or links?
Thanks,

Anyhow I directed him to Azurac {sp?}
