  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

That's what I do. Anytime I need to sign up for something with an email I do:

[email protected]

I use wildcards for some stuff, but I mostly just use [email protected] and have my real email for friends and family private. It's not liked I get emails from friends and family anymore anyway. Everything is iMessage or SMS.

Same. Crazy obvious which companies are getting hacked or selling my info.

I do the same thing, but with gmail tags.

[email protected]

Now if I get a spam email to that address I'll know exactly what to block.

I am amazed at how often that gets considered an invalid email.
