Personal Information Leaked?

    I made a post on a “powered by wordpress” site and the owner than posted my personal e-mail address associated with that account? Is our information visible to everyone, or did someone from WordPress leak my e-mail address.

    If it’s visible to everyone, why? Why have us create user names if our information is free and clear for anyone to view?

    It’s ALWAYS visible to the owner of that blog.

    You need to brush up on the difference between WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG. Sounds like that’s an independent blog, and not a WP.com issue at all. Independent bloggers can do what they like as far as WP.com is concerned; it’s not their issue.

    I will say this: that little thing that says “this email will not be displayed” is something WP.com puts on our blogs and I as a blog owner feel quite free to disregard it. When Scientology spammed me I posted not just the emails but the IPs as well.
