I second that

Why isn't this another pointless 2 million post thread? You can't go around posting real and relevant info at a time like this!

Now bugger off and go start some crap threads like everyone else!

Nice that they've finally put up some legislation about it but I doubt they'll actually stop anyone.

Shame tho - be nice to be spam free in the morning.

I edited the typo in the thread title, but it's still fucked up.

UK bans spam messages

The UK has made spam a criminal offence to try to stop the flood of unsolicited messages.

Under the new law, spammers could be fined £5,000 in a magistrates court or an unlimited penalty from a jury.

Earlier this month Italy imposed tough regulations to fine spammers up to 90,000 euros (£66,000) and impose a maximum prison term of three years.

No jail time, no one will care.

2/3 thrds of GFY will be in the slammer or broke as a result.....
