Should it be legal to go to a spammer's house and beat the sh*t out of them?

[futuristicmonkey]

What do you guys think about this? After all, Microsoft might send you some free software for doing so. Everyone would win. :beer:

 

[FoBoT]

no , i don't think violence is the answer

we need a new email protocol

 

[Viper GTS]

No, but you can win their Porsche

Viper GTS

 

[Siddhartha]

Nope, that sounds like a bad idea to me.

 

[Nitemare]

I think you should be given a medal and keys to the city

 

[Wuffsunie]

Do what they do to you; leave unsolicited bags of flaming dog sh!t on their doorsteps.

 

[PanzerIV]

I nominate the legality of such an act. I am tired of these unscrupulous bastards clogging up the 'net with their unwanted crap.

Edit: Oh yeah and can we also beat senseless anybody who actually buys anything from these spammers??

I say we set up a huge list of spam haters. When a spammer is found, everyone sends the guy a letter in snail mail. Getting 10 000 snail letters will piss someone off right quick.

BUT, spam cost us, snail mail cost us. The only ones not losing money are the spammers. I say make them pay back the cost of bandwidth, wasted time, and mental anguish three times and make them stay in jail until they pay back every cent. Long jail time whilst being poor would be justice.

I don't understand why spammers still exist. Does anyone actually bother clicking or even looking at the crap that spam is advertising let alone buy it.

I used to work for an Isp, and spam would always bring our smtp servers down. it was so annoying.
i hate spammers.

There actually are, and therein lies the problem - dumb users.

K, I was just at church so I couldn't say anything new but, I now can.

First off, silverpig, that's a damn good idea

Second, Dr. Smooth, stfu you lame beyotch. What, you support spam?

Third, if some people were to set up an "anti-spam" organization, I'd be a member. Then I'd suggest to everyone that we go to spammer's houses and spray-paint things on their houses like the titles of the e-mails they send. That'd be funny.

Any more ideas?

Okay, I have Outlook pretty efficiently sending all my spam and junk mail to my junk mail folder now. However I get around 20 messages a day in my junk mail folder and the stupid program doesn't have a function where you can delete the stuff out of your hard drive/mail file. It sends it to the deleted items folder. I actually keep stuff in my deleted mail folders that I don't consider current or important but still stuff that might come in handy some day. So I don't really empty the folder out. This means that in order to get rid of that junk mail, I have to seek it out in my deleted mail folder in order to get rid of it. Stupid Outlook (don't ask me why I use it - I have reasons).

I would rather the people who send this junk mail be paraded on the street naked and whipped to an inch of their lives.

YES!!!!!

Where's the poll? You suck at the internet.

BTW, the only poll options should be:

Yes.

YES!

YES but only one hit for each individual message they send out!

If outlook is so stupid, don't use it

Outlook 2003 has the best spam filter I have seen in a mail client.
