I enabled a module called "Bad Behavior" which basically checks if a visitor *might* be coming from a known spammer/etc location when they access the forum. Stuff that you wrap in the new tag won't be shown to the visitor if they are -- so you could, for example, share your email address, but enclose it in that tag to help make sure that a spammer that's running around the web searching for email addresses it could spam won't be able to see the address.
To everyone else, the effect of the tag will be invisible -- it'll simply be shown exactly as it would be before.
