    What punishment would forum members like to see inflicted on spammers?

    I don't get much E-mail spam and it's all filtered by Norton.

    I say we make them write the letters, then feed them the V!@gR A tablets until they nearly but not quite explode, then send them in to fight the telemarketers, and finally scrape up whatever is left and turn it into snack food for people with no taste buds. :remembers that someone has to win the fistfight and therefore survive: The last spammer/marketer standing can undergo cosmetic surgery until they are crushed by the weights of their enormous enhanced body parts.

    Tax them for their spamming - sounds good to me.

    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    Have only gotten one (1) (a single) (only one) spam on my Netscape account (have had it for several months). Either I'm fortunate or I just haven't been very "loose" about spreading my address about.

    I like the handwritten apology option, but wouldn't object to taxing them or having them fight deathmatches...

    Deathmatch, while on the V1@Gr a.
    They would have like, a stablizer.
    I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
    Without a doubt
    Singled out
    The only way I know

    Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
    Marching out of time,To my own beat now
    The only way I know

    One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
    Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts

    "For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
    A free for all,Screw 'em all
    You are your own sight

    I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
    Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority

    they should be forced to read then write down (hand write) each and every bit of info and then exchange it with a fellow spammer then they will copy that persons and hand write it all out again until they've copied it all out from each and every spammer

    the second stage would involve these quickly passing onto some kids who could mark it however they want and anything less than an A* involves starting this process all over again

    no sleeping before the entire process is completed

    anyone who falls asleep undergoes chinese water torture for 6 hours before restarting (without any sleep)

    Edit: Gah!

    I wonder if any of those spammers actually make any money. All those "enlarge penis", "transfer 15 million" and "buy viagra" mails seems so bad so that I can't even imagine that anyone would even consider them. I guess that it cost them nothing to spam so they keep on trying in lack of anything better to do.........
