I returned to my emails at 4th of July evening and immediately deleted this viagra spam user and removed email visibility from community members. (Managers can still see them)

The damage is already done: somebody made a bot that logged in as an user and then collected emails. I'd suggest we keep emails hidden there are enough other ways for users to contact each others.
