Commercial Spam on MSE

moonrakerz

There is another burst of commercial spam on the site today.

Do any of you techie experts know of a way where genuine MSEers could send these e-mail/website addresses to other really heavy spammers to flood these people with other rubbish ! Without, of course, revealing your address at the same time !!!

Yes it can be done, but there are two problems:

1) It's not legal, or it's very grey to say the least.
2) The email addresses used aren't the actual originators, so you're more than likely going to flood some poor soul who is none the wiser about what is going on.

Best way is to just report it they should just get there account banned, and if MSE do it properly ban there IP address and email too so they cant create anymore accounts. although theres probably ways to circumvent that, but it does make it more of an hassle for them.
