Why do we have the E-mail tag?

Just wondering, since it's against the Terms of Use to give out e-mail adresses, why do we have the E-mail tag?

Edit:

Retired from Scratch, but just the language itself. Not the forums.

Isn't it universal? :\ Like the img tag, you can't just put in a random image url, you must put it in tags... there is no way to disable that. But I'm not exactly the most reliable source.

Everyone's argument is invalid. Your argument is invalid.

Where were you when they turned off img tags in the forums!?

Dear, that is a good question!

I don't think that as RobotKitty said, that it's universal - only automatic conversion of URLs into links are, as far as I know. I'll bring this to the Scratch Team - thanks for pointing that out!

Yes, they were turned back on. But New Members can't use them. Or the [url]tag.

Re: Why do we have the E-mail tag?

I asked the Scratch Team about this shortly before I became a mod... I'll find the thread - it confuses me, too...  hmm

EDIT: It was here. It's item #2 of my rant - the BBCode help page is very confusing...  hmm

But it's not just the BBCode help page - the tag is actually enabled.

I think it's just a feature that came with the forum software that nobody has bothered to disable.   Moving to Troubleshooting.
