I am wondering whether writing my email address with a 'fullwidth commercial at' sign in stead of the normal @ is a good way to "hide" my email address from spam bots on the web?
E.g. user＠domain.com.

  • Probably not a bad idea, but unless you make a test and try, you won't know what harvesting bots really can and cannot decipher.

  • @slhck Where should I post such an email address to get it picked up efficiently?

  • On your website :) In all seriousness though, a better place to ask for spam protection might be Webmasters, but make sure to check their existing questions and FAQ
