    Evening chaps,
    Thanks to a heads up from 52nd Airborne.
    New 'member' - Warhog - has left daft messages about 'ruling the world' on peoples profile messages.

    Banned now (obviously).

    Appeared to have been working his way through the member list alphabetically, sorry to anyone that got this dreary spam, and I'll be going through and deleting the tiresome messages.

    I'm more sorry that idiots seem to feel the need to promulgate & promote whatever rubbish they carry out on the interweb in this way though. :mad:

    Cheers,
    Adam.

    Many thanks for your efforts in protecting your flock from the ravages of the Spam nutters.

    In some thirty odd years of meeting up with the type of person who gets his kicks from scattering rubbish on all and sundry I have often thought of what should be the most obvious response.

    One such thought is that one should keep handy a full, plain text copy of "War and Peace" and send it to the gentleman concerned after having perhaps quadrupled it to really block up his e-mail box.

    It wouldn't perhaps achieve much but it would make me feel better :)

    Thanks again

    Ron

    Just spam Marcus, with an email that's associated with a dreary marketing site.
    So 'ruling the world' in a rather dull way, rather than stroking white cats, owning a crocodile pit, and sending out minions to be cut down by the forces of law & order.

    On the more usual kind of spam, Otto once suggested to me that emails across the web should be chargeable per recipient.
    Something like 0.1 or 0.01p a message, that way even heavy legit users might get a yearly bill of just a few quid, but anyone wanting to annoy millions with their 'valuable shares' in dead Nigerian oil barons might think rather harder when considering the cost of their daily plague-mails.

    I kind of like the idea. Could kerb spammers a bit and help restrict the flow of the even more pointless PC infections that these buggers help spread.
