Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about TG Email Protection
No. Not at all. The contents of your database are NOT changed by the plugin. What the plugin does is something like this: when a visitor requests a post or page to be displayed in the browser (by visiting its URL), WordPress extracts the relevant contents from the database; it is at this time that this plugin steps in and filters these contents in a fast and efficient manner, searching and obfuscating the email addresses found in such contents which have already been extracted from the database. Thus, the contents of your database are not changed at all by this plugin. Only the (copy of the) contents being shown to the visitors are shown in a different (obfuscated) manner. While the visitor will still see the email address as usual, it will be obfuscated or hidden from the email spambots and spider software.
Well. Nobody can give full guarantee. As we find newer methods of obfuscating email addresses, so do the spammers to break such methods. No lock has ever been built that can safeguard your house from all the thieves and for ever. Even Microsoft Windows is pirated on the very day of its launch. What this plugin does is to make it extremely difficult for the spammers to automatically harvest email addresses from the website using spambots. We are working on more methods and this plugin will keep evolving newer methods of obfuscation. As of the date of this writing, our tests have found that email addresses secured by this plugin are completely safe and hidden from all the spambot or spider software that we experimented with. You can yourself see the results by experimenting with the plugin. Also see one of the screenshots in the Screenshots section wherein results of a famous email extractor not being able to find the email addresses obfuscated by this plugin are shown. At this juncture, we may also point out that if you use the additional (optional) measure to further obfuscate the email addresses by replacing the @ and . (DOT) symbols in email addresses by something like ' (AT) ' and ' (DOT) ' respectively or some other similar custom (unique) text to be chosen by you, then the privacy of your email addresses from spambots will be almost fully protected. Please also keep in mind that a determined spammer can even manually visit your website and note down the email addresses manually by hand in order to spam you. So, would you completely stop displaying email addresses on your website? What this plugin does is to secure the email addresses from spammers using automated methods by making use of some innovative and effective techniques. We are willing to evolve further tricks. Your feedback and suggestions are welcome.
