Spammer Gets Spam Mailed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the couldn't-have-happend-to-a-more-deserving-fellow dept.

ssblood noted a story about a spammer getting what he deserves as well as a related story from the Register. Essentially the virtual spammer is capable of sending a billion emails a day, and is getting sacks of physical junk mail from irritable folks. Apparently part of this plot was hatched on familiar turf too.

    And it was interesting 9 days ago, too... after we started it. Here... on Slashdot... you know Slashdot?

    Congrats on your marriage. Now, could you get caught up on previous posts before putting anything else up?

    This man's ailment is clearly a lack of empathy.

    Truly a common human deficiency.

    He will not be missed when the agents of karma take him out.

    Sorry to sound crass, but I really dislike spammers, trolls, and other annoyances.

    How hard can it be to implement a link check in submissions? It can check for older articles, say a month or so, to see if that link was referenced in another article. (it should not check the entire article database because that would be expensive!)

    Why are the editors so clueless? Do they read what they post? (i think they do since they deny so many articles)

    Well they should have better memory than we do
