No, I didn't mean Slashdot. It's done a fairly good job of turning into shit on its own. Since I started reading it, in early 1998, it has steadily worsened in quality. I'm not just talking about the users, either. The editorial bias of this site is(I feel) much stronger than it used to be.
But I digress. I am against spam in all of its forms. Really, I would almost prefer that you break into sites, so long as you didn't deface their web pages.
>All that free ISPs are used for is anonymous >surfing and spamming. > >BTW, www.nocharge.com is anonymous and no banners >(not like that matters). Great for spamming heheh That's exactly my point. You can give them false info, from a public terminal, and have an account to freely abuse. Not that anyone with an IQ greater than that of a banana slug couldn't get someone else's account info anyway, but this lowers the bar by a large amount.
As for spamming, PLEASE don't do it. I know my pleas will fall on deaf ears, but if there is any shred of humanity in you, STOP. The original spirit of the internet is being killed quickly enough by commercialization that your actions could hurt things a LOT more than you think.
By merit of the simple fact that they are already on the web(how else could they view slashdot?), I don't think that most slashdotters have grounds for complaints. I know *I* have *my* internet access already, and it's cable. Why would I want "free"(except for the fact that you sell your privacy and soul to advertisers) internet access? You get what you pay for. TANTAAFL. Whatever. Get a damned job.
