I am a merchant and I don't have access to members emails. I can send emails to buyers using a form on their homepage but I can't see their email address. Only if a buyer then answers me by email, could I find out his/hers address from the message source. I personally prefer to use Renderosity's internal messaging system though because this keeps my email private as well.

 

Concerning some people mentioning that there has been less spam since the site update, I have not noticed this. Spam continues to arrive to my dedicated Renderosity address like usual. I have given up changing the address as this has not helped thus far. I am on my 3rd address since April.
