Well, that brings on even more questions
But perhaps telling would work as a deterrant also? Scare them off before they take all this effort to write their pathetic spamming?

What is a spam and how would I recognise it?

do you really think that the spammers spend their time reading through all these threads before placing their advert for viagra?

You would think that, but I know for a fact you are wrong, one spammer in particular posts complaints, which also get removed

Hey moderator, here's an idea for you..some forums have banned members from registering this Internat mail accounts, they have to be traceable, such as a company email, I know it might be difficult here, but do you think it implementable here to stop the spammers?

I think big_spark means such email adresses as those provided by ISPs free with the ISP account, which use Outlook Express.

NOT web-based providers such as hotmail or google.

I cant see a problem with this, since almost everyone with an ISP has an email adress - mine is .freeserve.co.uk lol

Some websites I have subscribed to in the past require an email address to which they send an activation email which needs to be processed before the account becomes active.

Now that Breezers had his little joke, I am still waiting to find out exactly what a spam is. Seriously, I haven't a clue.
