Hello discourse community. On my discourse site, in the category about topics, I advertise the posting email address for that category and mention it’s for trusted users above a certain level. I post the address as a png image rather than text to try to avoid spammers skimming it off my site with automated bots.

As I look around other discourse forums, I see no one else advertising post via email addresses. Is this feature typically used only by staff and not advertised?

Am I doing right? Best? Any opinions out there that can be offered to me? Thanks everyone.
