No.

That is a known phishing link and entering anything into it will assuringly get your information stolen or sold.

Everything that says it will sell your data WILL sell your data. Everything that says it will not sell your data WILL sell your data.

everyone above me is trolling you or knowingly spreading misinformation. you have nothing to worry about in regards to data and save dot tf.

i want to note though that i've yet to find a throwaway mail site that can receive the confirmation email. whether thats because they automatically delete spam mail or if the website is just (still) overloaded is unknown to me so far though.

I would say that its because any credible mailing list setup automatically filters out accounts from throw away addresses via blacklist and obvious catch-all accounts. But the people who put the website up are barely competent enough to cobble together a functioning single page website, so I doubt that is the issue.

Either that or its bandwith is getting used up or its a ddos attack, again. Anything's possible as long its reasonable conclusion

I hope they have at least some common sense. If they are not filtering out throwaways or catch-alls it would take minimal scripting knowledge and less than an hour to throw together a basic script that can just continuously sign the petition under random emails (and verify them eventually) automatically. Heck...If thats the case I wouldnt be surprised if half the signups are fraudulent.

1. They not exactly pro's
2. Server cost is a thing
3. you just give out the mail (the only needed option) an name if you choose.

I did think of one way email addresses could externally be harvested, if there are common screen names... or if someone brute-forced it. I wonder if that host has brute-force protection? Anyway, it would take quite a while to pull off. Also the typo is still there in the FAQ answer...

Cheating and abusive behavior affects more that TF2.

Don't use your personal email! sheesh!

Don't use your personal email as the backup if you've forgotten your password. Some leak the first few characters on a password reset.

Incorrect, every website will eventually sell your data or have your data leaked to be sold by leakers. No information you put online is safe and anyone telling you your information is safe on sites like this is braindead.

I'm not saying don't sign the petition, but know it will happen. I signed it using a new email with fake information to keep it separate.
