Because they can. Because Spam runs rampant on internet forums. Spammers get info from profiles. Profiles are then blocked.

IIRC the feature was turned off in 2004 or 2005 as the result of some abuse(s) and it was decided back then not to turn it back on. I wasn't a mod back then so don't know the full story.

I think they should try turning it back on. I'll bet the abuse won't be there.

We never did get an explanation of why it was removed. It happened right after that guy kept signing up with new names and spamming everyone through PMs.
