I think there was also something said about spamming members, probably through emails.

I dunno, I post on a forum containining over 157,000 members and the members list is public there. Naturally the member's list should be disabled for non-members.

Yeah, there are loads of bots out there that harvest vBulletin member lists and send emails to them.

That's what I thought

Every single member is easily accessible on Google, why wouldn't bots be able to use the same method? It's not as though our e-mails are public either.

Was thinking the same thing. I'm not even sure how bots work but wouldn't you be able to "lock" them out by making the memberlist only accessible by forum members?

Yea, that's possible, whether or not they decide to do so is another story.
