  1. Re:Simple solution.... on Spammers on the Run · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... it could piggy-back on the current spam black-lists. But, then I suppose spammers will just use a domain once and move on.
    Perhaps we could close down the site that the spam is actually advertising. Or maybe just have their merchant status revoked so that they can't process credit-card payments.

    BUT... I doubt these will work. If spamming makes money there will always be spammers. Trying to educate the dim-wits who buy from spammers is the only option. No demand == no supply.

  2. Simple solution.... on Spammers on the Run · · Score: 1

    Remove their domains. If a domain receives x complaints in y days have their domain suspended. I mean this from a domain angle rather than a hosting/ISP angel: have the domain registers/DNS's drop them.

    One word.... Latency.

    Or to put it another way:

    Would you go to Italy for coffee when the coffee maker in your office works?

    A googol is really a Centillion (a 1 followed by a hundred zero's). Etymology: Latin centum + English -illion (as in million) http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=centillio n
