So what's the problem with that? It doesn't cost anything to create a new email address if you're really concerned about moderators spamming you (but then you probably shouldn't use this forum at all)
It's just how an SMF forum works.

It's not really an issue, but I'm just curious as to why this is. Is it a feature of SMF that can't be disabled? Or is it there for an actual reason?
^^^ This. Not really a problem for me. I already told that above.
I think there is a problem for you : the trustwhorty of some mod, or am I wrong? However if you do not want to reveal your personal email address, just use another one only for bitcointalk.org (as someone said previously here in this thread).
Right, but has MZ has stated several times, the question of
why is still unanswered. I think that's why we're waiting for an answer. If, as hillarious said, the functionality isn't motivated, why not remove it?
