I just deleted an email with the title "I've gained an inch and a half so far," and thought "Why the **** would anyone be spamming me to get fat?" Then I figured out what they meant. Talk about a poorly worded spam, huh?

Maybe your just nieve,

**CSS4Life** · 09-28-2007, 12:47 PM

Lol - considering the type of spam I get (hint hint), I got that immediately. This sort of junk really annoys me and the Hotmail filter is rubbish at keeping it out

i got this yesturday and again today, i immediatly reported it to hotmail. no reply

When I used hotmail, one day I got 400 spam emails from the same person. It pushed me above my 3 MB limit and I couldn't get any new email. I was livid.

**dansgalaxy** · 09-28-2007, 01:02 PM

I think MSN really needs to have a report thing tho because there are so many email that go round claiming to be from hotmail/msn which would wasily get normal users.

if they had it the could litterally delete every single email which is identified spam

I think I've got a 5GB cap now on Windows Live mail (complete overselling but anyway) The spam protection is terrible though as I said

**dansgalaxy** · 09-28-2007, 01:07 PM

I have a 1GB cap on mine and i have never used more than 2% Lol
i try not to use it for email. the only reason i use a @hotmail and not @dansgalaxy for my hotmail is because i found alot of the things for signing in with a msn dont work unless its a email provided by hotmail

I have a better one for you Dan YAHOO are now having "unlimited" email space for all accounts.

they are upgrading the gradually

Google sparked a revolution there. Gotta say. The Gigabyte, now 2, was something everybody thought was a April Fools Day stunt. Their spam filter is pretty good, too. When one slips through (it was 2 this month, but the last time before then was 4 months ago) it's a shock.

**dansgalaxy** · 09-28-2007, 01:40 PM

Ok now your a spammer... WHYM BAN HIM BAN HIM BAN HIM XD

**dansgalaxy** · 09-28-2007, 01:43 PM

Anyone can give talkupation, it doesnt excuse spamming

Remember i am a admin on 3 forums and a mod on one i see this crap everyday.. and belive me i have no tolerance.

Even for one post i give lifetime ban.

Bribing members with Talkupation is feeble.

You will probably get banned now, not just for spamming, but for trying to bribe people to stand up for you!

You've been reported. This forum has a zero-spam policy

Please don't. I am one step away from a permanent ban!

**dansgalaxy** · 09-28-2007, 01:47 PM

Do you know how lame that excuse is?

**Learning Newbie** · 09-28-2007, 01:50 PM

Um - what does a web site about designing web sites have to do with a thread making fun of silly spammers?

**dansgalaxy** · 09-28-2007, 01:51 PM

I mean it now someone ban this guy he isnt nice and he has now started being abusive.

Done

(temporary). His posts will be deleted soon.

I think he's one of the most pathetic spammers I've come face to face with yet - most just come, drop spam and leave, he came and fought (losing terribly).

Read the rules people!
