What is the best punishment for spammers?

[LordRaiden]

Everyone knows that spam is one of the greatest plagues of the internet. If spammers could be brought to justice, what do you believe would be the best and most apropriate punishment for their crimes?

You get an anvil and a hammer.
Then insert their balls between same and have a hate party.

 

[ElFenix]

all > spammers

 

[Queasy]

Simple...follow the classic Monthy Python skit where email spam got its name from. Have a group of men follow spammers around all day chanting "spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam spam...."

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Good ol' Ralsky got a good one.

 

[squirrel dog]

Staple scrot to forehead.

Confine spammers to individual cells. Place a 486 box and 14 inch monitor in each cell. The computer of course has no real net access, just limited pop3 with no smtp or http. The only e-mail received by the mail client is spam itself. Assign the spammer the task of writing (by hand), essays of no less than 1500 words regarding each piece of spam received by the box. The quicker the convicted spammer completes 25,000 essays, the quicker he/she/it can be released. Have some retired high school English teacher grade the papers. Papers with any mistakes must be totally rewritten.

Short of public execution by draw and quarter, this is the most effective punishment I can think of.

stone them to death with hard drives filled with there own spam

 

[fonzinator]

Allow them to only eat Spam for the rest of their life.

...on second thought, they may die very quickly with this punishment.

 

[Mr N8]

make them participate in "inmate porn films"

bastards

 

[yowolabi]

Have them rewrite by hand all spam messages they have ever sent out onto sheets of paper. Then have them eat the paper.

 

[Sketcher]

Death by Unga-Bunga.

 

[Darein]

Convict them of some stupid hacking crime and don't let them touch a computer after their other punishment.

 

[brxndxn]

Make them give me money for all my pain and suffering.

heheheheheheh YES YES YES YES

[Brutuskend]

I voted other

Dickwad-computer=no more spam.

They do it to hackers, seems fair to me to do the same to spammers.

 

[minus1972]

I like what the guys at slashdot did to that guy who made a decent ammount of money off spam. They found his home mailind addy, and proceeded to sign him up for every kind of junk mail that they could find...needless to say he gets a large delivery of crap in the mail every day that he must sort through to find his bills, etc. I think that this should be the benchmark by which we punish spammers.

 

[DeafeningSilence]

Agree with minus1972. He who lives by spam, dies by spam. Bombard him with with junk mail, email, telemarketer calls, and on and on and on. Stick flyers to his car. You know, the whole 9 yards.

ahhaha that's awesome!


and yeah, they should gimme money too for spamming.....in fact...we should get paid to recieve spam...

 

[CurtCold]

Tar and Feather them. I had some chick sending me spam for the last month, always a different email addy. I replied back to her last week with some choice words, haven't gotten one sense.

First time that has worked. I hate Spam....The email stuff, nothing beats spamburger!

 

[FoBoT]

spank 'em

on the hiney

 

[pulse8]

I propose that we don't punish the spammers, but the companies that they spam for.

 

[vash]

Without complete physical violence, the best method is Chinese water torture. For each piece of spam they sent, they get that many drops. Some of the nasty spammers send hundreds of millions of pieces of spam a day, I figure with that many drops, they'll crack in a few hours.
