Spamfighting Since the Death of MakeLoveNotSpam?

vacuum_tuber asks: "The now-defunct Lycos anti-spamsite screen saver, MakeLoveNotSpam, was extremely well received despite the whines and hand wringing from the no-one-should-ever-actively-defend-themselves crowd. There was speculation after its demise that Open Source spam-punishing tools would emerge. Other tools such as SpamVampire, LadVampire (punishes fake bank sites), Spam Research Tool and others were mentioned with increasing frequency, but there has been no coherent followup to gauge what people are doing since the death of the Lycos screen saver. What are you doing that you think is effective in punishing spammers or their spam-site sponsors?"

Simple solution...

[ActionJesus]

Just chop their heads off. See how well they spam if they cant see their monitor.

Well...

[rasafras]

A solid wooden stake usually does the trick. Make sure it's the heart, though...

Fight Spam with Spam! Spam Spam Spam

[Brainboy]

I've been spamming the spammy spammers with my anti-spammer spammer. My spam scripts is well suited to spamming spammy spammers with spam. Spaming spammers is the best way to get them to stop spamming. Infact sometimes I use other spammer's spam to spam the spammers.

Now I'm off to eat my breakfast of spam, eggs, bacon, and spam.

Make it illegal.

[koreaman]

Make spam illegal, that is the only real way to stop it.

Write your congressman, if you have some free time try to meet with one of them and lobby them. Few people know how remarkably easy it is to get your congressman to sit down and meet with you.

Make them use the products that they spam

[narad]

The best would be to make them use what they span for continuously. They should be made to use their penis enlarger and breast enhancers.

[Anonymous Coward]

Duh, slashdotters are home, in the basement. That should be go *upstairs* and turn off their mom's zombie computer.

No joke here!

[overbyj]

I, for one, truly do welcome our new spamfighting overlords!

My solution

[nizo]

What are you doing that you think is effective in punishing spammers or their spam-site sponsors?

Sending xmas cards to inmates about to be released from prisons in their state with the spammers name and home address as the return address with sincere hopes that they will come visit once they get out. Plus I get to use up all these extra xmas cards instead of packing them away for next year.

what better solution than this one found at bash.org (source [bash.org])

"i'm going to become rich and famous after i invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet"

Post URLs here

[Quixote]

and this motley crew shall /. into oblivion...

A hypothetical...

[Shadow Wrought]

If a spammer and a phisher were both drowning in a pool, and you only had enough time to save one, would get lunch or go for a walk?

Re:Make it illegal.

[flyingsquid]

Write your congressman

You mean we should flood their mailboxes with offers for viagra and penis enlargement?

Re:Make them use the products that they spam

[ZeroExistenZ]

So spammers would be crushed under their massive erect penisses...

And now that handguns are illegal shootings in DC have all but disappeared....

Re:A hypothetical...

[SmurfButcher Bob]

I'd tell them I'll save them both... after I've finished checking my email.

One Stop Shopping!

[FireBreathingDog]

That list was very helpful. I lost weight, have a larger penis, refinanced my mortgage, and am now hooked on Vicodin.

Thank you, Slashdot!!!

Re:Simple solution...

[3chuck3]

I Agree, I would like a wealthy eccentric to set up us unemployed Sys Admin with Licenses to Kill and Living expenses ALA Martin Blanke In Gross Point Blanke.

We could hunt down and execute the SOB's that pollute inbox with Cheap Meds and Penis Enlargement adds.

Credit Card?

[NuTTyGuY]

I think the best and very simple solution would be to just have someone figure out the spammers credit card info, then post it on slashdot.

He gets his bill for $10,000 in penis enlargements and he might just stop spamming....
