1k emails a day should keep the kitchen people away!

We should try work as a community to stop this shit.

They really want us to look at their kitchens? Well then lets do it then. I have set up a poll to see how many people will commit to it. I don't see any point in doing it though unless we have at least 500-1000 people a day inquiring. This is do-able as we have had just over 3000 members log in, in the last two days. If 33% of us regular visitors agree then we can have a 1k army to combat our spamming issue. That should overload them with enough work to really piss them off and think about spamming our precious forum with their shit.

What are your thoughts? I am fairly sure this isn't illegal. After all we are just inquiring after they sent adverts to us. This is what we are supposed to do. Is it our fault we spelled our email address incorrectly? This would be worse than hitting them with a DDOS (which is illegal). At least a DDOS just knocks you out for a while and then you're back to normal. What if you had to answer that many inquiries a day and you couldn't tell who were your genuine customers. Think about it. It is the only thing I know that will actually make them think about stopping.

Chances are this will never happen but I'm up for it if everyone else is. It doesn't take much to send one inquiry a day.

Won't this just confirm that we have seen the spam, and therefor make them do it more?

Since I registered here I always thought that LTT was the nicest community, as much as I hate the spammers we shouldn't go down to their levels and resort to becoming a group of assholes that want to spam others.

Let's just stick to banning them, we're better than this.

Oh and wouldn't it just get them what they want? More attention and traffic...
