One way to counter this is to obfuscate the email addresses on our website. This change will not break existing functionality. It makes it more difficult for spam bots to be able to scan our website and find email addresses.\r\n\r\nI obfuscated the email addresses using zsh and [a function in my .zshrc](https://github.com/zg/dot_files/blob/master/.zshrc#L66-L69)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rit-csc/CSCWebsite/issues/comments/214088256","html_url":"https://github.com/rit-csc/CSCWebsite/pull/33#issuecomment-214088256","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/rit-csc/CSCWebsite/issues/33","id":214088256,"user":{"login":"chrissprague","id":3145878,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3145878?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrissprague","html_url":"https://github.com/chrissprague","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrissprague/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrissprague/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrissprague/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrissprague/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrissprague/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrissprague/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrissprague/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrissprague/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chrissprague/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-25T01:41:05Z","updated_at":"2016-04-25T01:41:05Z","body":"Cool. I like the idea, and I'm sure all of us would be happy to cut down on the spam. That said, it seems like it would hurt maintainability a bit. Not that it is difficult to copy and paste an email address text string into one of these manglers when you have to change something, but it's ugly as hell to look at in the source code.\r\n\r\nShould get input on this from @RaineForest @khipkin @ChrisLydic etc"}}
