Is it in any way possible for me to view someone’s profile? I wanted to obtain someone’s e-mail address so I could get in touch with them about subscribing (they offered to pay my way since I don’t have the resources) and my time runs out on the 15th. Would my only course of action be saying “Hey, **person I’m referring to** , check my profile and e-mail me soon.”?

Let’s not list email addresses on the public board, please.

I’ll send it to our guest. He should have a valid email address, that’s one of our rules, remember?

I asked for and received permission from Gaudere before I posted it.

I won’t do it again.

Sorry Berkut, I didn’t mean to lead you astray and I thought it was fine. We are discussing it among the admins right now.
