Ending Spam

· Score: 2, Interesting
We spammers love you idiots who use spam filters. You were never going to buy from us or fall for our scheems anyway, so you do extra work to filter your e-mail and that way we are not bothered by you reporting us or attacking us. We are free to continue to waste your bandwidth and overflow your inbox, but you never see the spam and you leave us alone, to keep spamming those too ignorant to protect themselves. The complaints die down and we get what we want, the unknowing victims. What a great system.
Heck, our lobby group even points out to Congress how spam laws are not really needed, since people who really don't want the spam are free to filter it. That and a litte payola and we are free to phish for more victims.
Yea, keep "fighting spam" with lame filters, we love it. Thanks!
Absolutely! DO AS THIS PERSON SAYS. Do not in any way try to make changes that would stop spammers from sending spam, just close your eyes to it.
As a professional sender of UCE, I just want to tell you slashdotters to keep on playing with your spam filters. As long
as you use spam filters on your e-mail, I can continue to reach my real intended targets, those non-slashdotters who do
not know better and will buy my products or click through to my client's websites. Your filters really help cut down on the
complaints to the Internet service providers I do business with, and as long as not too many complaints come in their
marketing people assure me we can do business. Of course, I still waste your bandwidth and mailbox capacity, but you no
longer complain to uce@ftc.gov, my access providers, or anyone else who might cause me problems. My yahoo and
hotmail and other accounts for replies are lasting much longer before getting shut down because someone complained to
these service providers. And my clients are even reporting that they can start mailing out 800 numbers like
1-800-901-3719 again and they will not have you damn geeks set up your modems to keep autodialing them, since
you spend your own time and effort to filter the e-mail and only clueless users who might actually call will see the numbers.
Please don't bother your Congressmen or Senators proposing legislation that might not work 100%. Just keep on filtering
the spam I send you, I know you would have never bought from me anyway. That you can filter legitimizes my business
and my waste of your bandwidth.
P.S. To be sure of not getting a false positive, be sure to send all filtered mail to a special folder.
Waste your storage space storing the mail until you manually go through every piece to be sure you didn't accidentally filter something important. Of course, this will take exactly as much effort as it would have to just check the e-mail when it first came in, not to mention the extra effort spent in setting up the filters and the extra space for storing your incoming spam folder, but what the heck. If you think that you can scan e-mail for false positives faster this way you are just fooling yourselves, if you are scanning faster e-mail that you expect to be all spam, you will miss the very false positives that you think you are looking for. And any false positives that you do catch will have been delayed, perhaps days or more. You geeks enjoy wasting time this way, and I certainly appreciate it. It makes the work of all us spammers much easier. After all, slashdotters like Moderation abuser tell you that Bandwidth is cheap, disk is cheap, CPU is cheap, which is good, because at the rate spammers like me waste it the costs still adds up. I am gald I never pay for it, and I would just as well that everyone else takes the additude that all of the resources I waste are cheap than band together and pass laws against us. No one should care about spam because Bandwidth is cheap, disk is cheap, CPU is cheap and it is your job to filter it.
Think you've seen this before? Don't complain. Just go through lots more work to set up special filers on your computer so that you will not see it again. Crawl into your holes. You should have to do that. It's the true geek solution, and I would really like it if you did.
And don't pay any attention at all to the fact that those anoying telemarketers suddenly stopped calling you days
ago, not because you wasted time and money getting caller-id and setting up systems to filter them out, but rather
because the do-not-call list became law. You know, the law they said wouldn't work. Heck, in my case, even those annoying calls where someone who hangs up as I answered, which used to happen several times a day, completely stopped. But just recite that laws can't work, the end user must have their bandwidth wasted and go to extra work to filter their spam themselves. How else can spammers count on reaching the sheep who don't filter their mail and will respond to our great offers?
Isn't that how spam works? Admit it, after a few hundred or thousand spams for penis pills are you much more inclined to buy than you would have been if you got just one? That certainly seems to be the concept spam is based on.
While the success of Bayesian spam
filtering is encouraging, it certainly hasn't seemed to stem the flow of spam in the last year or so

Thanks. I knew I had seen it, but lately I have been unable to find that and several other things that I'm certain I saw here with the search engine. I'm really at a loss to understand why the search engine is failing me, it used to work well, but lately it's been missing stuff that I know I've seen and should be able to search for easily.
Bayesian is the only affective method I've seen for significant spam reduction.

Of course, I still waste your bandwidth and mailbox capacity, but you no longer complain to uce@ftc.gov, my access providers, or anyone else who might cause me problems. My yahoo and hotmail and other accounts for replies are lasting much longer before getting shut down because someone complained to these service providers. And my clients are even reporting that they can start mailing out 800 numbers like 1-800-901-3719 again and they will not have you damn geeks set up your modems to keep autodialing them, since you spend your own time and effort to filter the e-mail and only clueless users who might actually call will see the numbers.
Please don't bother your Congressmen or Senators proposing legislation that might not work 100%. Just keep on filtering the spam I send you, I know you would have never bought from me anyway. That you can filter legitimizes my business and my waste of your bandwidth.
P.S. To be sure of not getting a false positive, be sure to send all filtered mail to a special folder. Waste your storage space storing the mail until you manually go through every piece to be sure you didn't accidentally filter something important. Of course, this will take exactly as much effort as it would have to just check the e-mail when it first came in, not to mention the extra effort spent in setting up the filters and the extra space for storing your incoming spam folder, but what the heck. If you think that you can scan e-mail for false positives faster this way you are just fooling yourselves, if you are scanning faster e-mail that you expect to be all spam, you will miss the very false positives that you think you are looking for. And any fales positives that you do catch will have been delayed, perhaps days or more. You geeks enjoy wasting time this way, and I certainly appreciate it. It makes the work of all us spammers much easier. After all, slashdotters like Moderation abuser tell you that Bandwidth is cheap, disk is cheap, CPU is cheap , which is good, because at the rate spammers like me waste it the costs still adds up. I am gald I never pay for it, and I would just as well that everyone else takes the additude that all of the resources I waste are cheap than band together and pass laws against us. No one should care about spam because Bandwidth is cheap, disk is cheap, CPU is cheap and it is your job to filter it.
Think you've seen this before? Don't complain. Just go through lots more work to set up special filers on your computer so that you will not see it again. Crawl into your holes, let us attack the real problems we have in getting our spam to the clueless marks that will respond. You should have to do that. It's the true geek solution, and I would really like it if you did.
