Thread: Lots of SPAM

This is where one can see the connection between SPAM and a DoS (Denial of Service) attack. SPAM is a DoS attack. If a DoS attack is illegal (YMMV), wouldn't that also make SPAM illegal. Food for thought.

SPAM or UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email) is illegal in the US but it doesn't stop some of the world's worst spammers from operating from there.

It all seems to have gone now - the seek and destroy beetles must have been unleashed.

Seek and destroy beetles have been released, but the spambots are numerous. I've changed the Q&A verification and added email verification for any new users. This will probably also hinder some legit new users, but seems necessary now given our opposition.

Triff.
