I would suggest people just hide their e-mails on forums.

If they just don't open the E-mails up, they will be good.

I had that also, I think Creepy alerted us in the PM announcement, which may be gone now, but this should really have been a seperate one.

Just a word of warning people, if you do click on the link, it IS NOT the official runescape site. It looks very convincing, but DO NOT log in.

Jagex will never send you an email, they will use the message center. They dont have access tyo your email, it's hidden from them.

I got one, too. I didn't open it. :)

Please notice that in the RS registration, there is no form for E-Mail. JaGeX does NOT have access to your E-Mail address!

well considering that people can just copy other people's e-mail and onto their own e-mail, that wouldn't work
