I’d like to express my support to anyone who could fix this “issue” too: previously the official [RFC 5322](http://emailregex.com/) (426 characters) [could be entered](https://meta.discourse.org/t/protect-forum-against-email-harvesters-bots/62760/2) to hide any email address. Now it’s only 50 characaters max.

Maybe now there is another better way to obfuscate email addresses (especially to crawlers)?
