Re: Cloudflare email "protection"

[Anurag Thakur]

I tend to agree. Its not like we get any bot-spam on the mailing list anyways. I don't know if the maintainers get any spam due to their email being on the website.

The email-decode script also has a tiny performance hit

I am disabling email protection, its just a switch flip anyways. If others disagree I will turn it back on.

Also, @Werner can you confirm if you have full-access to the cloudflare account?

Hi Anurag and Werner,

While looking at the site for issues to fix, i noticed Cloudflare email "protection" is on, meaning it rewrites emails and basically removes them from a persons view if _javascript_ is disabled on a browser - not good. Many people browse the web with noscript on and _javascript_ off unless it needs to be turned on.  (If you don't know what i am talking about go to https://freetype.org/contact.html with JS disabled)

The emails were all accessible in git logs anyway, so it is just a pain for anyone using noscript.

Is there any way to disable that?  There should be something here - https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200170016-What-is-Email-Address-Obfuscation-

This is if Werner agrees of course.
