Spammers on the Run
ericald writes "An interesting
update from Blue Security, the group that introduces the Blue Frog initiative to fight spam, claims that during the past few days at least one spammer had frequently deleted domains he owned as a result of their system.
In another update in their blog
they report they have already recruited over 21,000 users.
It's about time spammers start feeling the heat! I'm just surprised they show results so soon."
Personally I think the "worst kind" of vigilante approach would be getting the spammers home addresses and savagely beating them... or killing them. I dont think DDOSing some spammer pricks domain is that bad if you compare what could happen to these people.
Aren't you overreacting just a little? Have you seriously considered finding a bulk mailer and "savagely beating them or killing them"? If so, I really suggest you seek professional help. Prozac might reverse that so that you could quite possibly end up killing yourself.
Comments like yours means that you are as much a drain on society as the spammers.
Spend all that mouthy energy you have to create worthwhile legislation, write code, or find alternate methods to dealing with the problem.
DDOSing, physical harm, and strange thoughts are pointless. Really, they are.
