    Why do people hate spammers so much?

    Just curious because imo, telemarketers do the same thing. Why do some people make such a big deal of it.. all you have to do is set up some filters and/or click delete. Are people really this lazy? I mean delete is one click away. JMHO.

      cuzz racism seems to be one of society's buttons nowadays.. people need something to hate.

      media paints a nice picture of spammers and encourages hatred towards them.

      then theres people who are jealous cuzz they spend hours of work daily, when a spammer just hits a start button and makes 10 times more than they do.

                  Why not set up filters.. I mean I do get spam in my inbox sometimes.. I just hit delete. I have even bought some shit from spammers. I think it was something like 35% of people have bought shit from spam. I am one of the numbers.

                    500 times clicking delete per day costs my time. Picking up the phone and hanging it up again again when it's a telemarketer costs my time as well. I hate both. And spam filters occasionally eat up important emails.

                        oops, lol... worded that wrong

                        what i meant was, nobody's supposed to be a racist anymore... so if you can't hate someone by their nationality or religion, then just hate a spammer instead

                              Can say I "hate" spammers - or anyone for that matter.

                              Basically spammers are abusers. When you have to tolerate 1500 spam emails each day - spammers a total pain in the ass.

                              Why should anyone even have to bother "set up some filters and/or click delete" because of a load of assholes who are too lazy to get a real job??

                              Telemarketers are little different - they intrude on people's lives.

                              Meanwhile, ya want 20 gallons of hair growth liquid, a kilo of viarga and 20 invites to part with credit card information at fraudulent bank front ends? Gimme a break :-)

                                      People hate spammers because they send porn advertisements to kids.

                                        If you count in the traffic that it causes and the time that people have to spend deleting all this Viagra and mortgage bs it adds up to billions and billions of dollars each year. I don't mind a couple of spammers going to prison for a few years.

                                            Yeah I posted this before. Putting spammers in jail is absolutely stupid. But spyware is another thing though. They should do something against spyware hehe.

                                              Because like 90% of the e-mail most people receive is spam.

                                                  2 tips for never getting spam from a spammer.

                                                  1. www.spamarrest.com
                                                  2. Don't whore out your business email on every site you visit.

                                                    I think you just answered your own question, because most people hate telemarketers as much as (or even more than) spammers.

                                                    Some people do go a little psycho over spam, but on the other hand if you get 25 spams for every legitimate email (like I do) it can get pretty annoying. And unfortunately no spam filter is anywhere near perfect.

                                                      Simple example.. Tom Ridge, the "Homeland Security" person uttered words about terrorist attacks on food. What happens? We end up with hours of TV broadcast time stuck on this latest fetish as tho it just dawned on them that this was possible - along with a million other possibilities. Terrorists must be laughing their heads off.

                                                      I've not checked, but can envisage spammers could be stuffed in jail in the US? Kinda excessive as usual :-)

                                                          spammahs are just too cool, everyone hates the cool kids.

                                                          Often times I wonder why
                                                          There's love and hate, theres live or die.
                                                          When sickness comes I must decide:
                                                          When feelings go, theres suicide.

                                                                If you guys followed a "do not spam" list, people wouldn't hate you. Then again, you would be out of business

So this impressed the masses and they were like "Wow! AOL r0x0rz my s0x! I love getting emails! Especially with cute smiley faces! YAY!". And everytime they heard "You've got mail!" they would get an adrenaline rush. Then when spammers started filling those inboxes to the brim and people checked their mail... uh oh... no more presents. It took away the excitement for some people who have nothing better to do but sit in chat rooms and (((((((((hug)))))))))))))) their ao-buddies 22 hours a day while their kids are eating ketchup sandwiches because they won't walk away from their computer for 10 minutes.

                                                                    Now I get to spend the next few days going throught all the complaints for something I had nothing to do with.

                                                                    The only benefit is they put their toll free number in the message so hopefully it will cost them if enough people call.

                                                                    So give them a call if you want. 1000 people calling will cost them good. 10000 might take away any profit they see. If all of us call, we probably could get the list at a discount when the company goes bust.

                                                                        I do not remember asking for any of the above.

                                                                        Yup, it is so easy to set the rules in most if not all e-mail clients.
                                                                        Speaking of, any of you Windows users jump on the Thunderbird bandwagon yet. If not, what the hell are you waiting for? It stomps Outlook and all others in to the dirt!

Or change your email provider. I do recieve about 4 spams a day, but 90% of the time filters pick it up. I agree with that popup, adware comment. I have noticed on some sites I promote the surfer will get stomped with 5 or 6 exit consoles. Now that some can say is unwanted.

                                                                                        **Also for the person who made a post about it being in their childs inbox. How old is he/she? If they are not old enuff to hear/read some porn emails... then they are simply not old enuff to be using the computer unsupervised.

                                                                                          Basically spammers are abusers. When you have to tolerate 1500 spam emails each day - spammers a total pain in the ass.

                                                                                          Why should anyone even have to bother "set up some filters and/or click delete" because of a load of assholes who are too lazy to get a real job??

                                                                                          Telemarketers are little different - they intrude on people's lives.

                                                                                          Meanwhile, ya want 20 gallons of hair growth liquid, a kilo of viarga and 20 invites to part with credit card information at fraudulent bank front ends? Gimme a break :-)
