spamming is illegal, yet this is fucking legal? This is what I get in my mail box almost everyday.

3 fucking letters from ICLS.net trying to sell SE submissions.. a fucking Acacia blackmail letter 2 or 3 credit card applications...

I swear to god I'm going to mail some rotten meat to these freaking ICLS.net fuckwads.. I get atleaset 3 letters a week from those trolls.

Number1Thumb · 10-03-2005, 12:35 PM

cause they pay postage dumbass

After Shock Media · 10-03-2005, 12:36 PM

They pay for the paper, the postage, etc.
So the cost to get it to you is all on them, unlike spam that uses up others resources to get it to you.

yea I guess spammers don't pay shit for hosting huh dumbass?

The point is people don't like spam because it's annoying.. yet it's ok to annoy people with paper spam because the post office make money from it..

if a large quantity of people did this, then the backfire could be that USPS then justifies a stamp increase, that while the spammers have to pay it, everyone else who sends mail would be caught up in it. on the flipside, they could raise the bulk rate to cover the additional costs if people did the "return to sender" thing.

Fight the unsolicited offline mail!

Wow how much out of country mail spam do you get on a daily basis, as we all know email spammers are usa bound only. Also what about the email that is lost on mr joe's pc cause his box is wrecked with porn spam, penny stocks and so forth?

StuBradley · 10-03-2005, 12:47 PM

Because it's not porn.

nexcom28 · 10-03-2005, 12:50 PM

Send it back to them in one of those prepaid envelopes they give you or return them to sender.

I've never had any e-mail spam that hurt my PC. If you are talking about virus's then that's a different story..

Hell with e-mail spam at least I can simply set up a new rule and catch most of it before it hit's my in box.. only time e-mail spam really bugs me is when stupid ass perfectgonzo trolls send me 50 e-mails a day to the same account.

seeric · 10-03-2005, 12:54 PM

its because they pay the gov to fuck you

good one!

so if you don't want to open it up, write "return to sender".

if you want to cause them some financial damage, do the return to sender in their prepaid envelopes as suggested... now that's evil

(note... putting in material in the pre-paid envelope other than their material could get you into postal fraud trouble.. but you could include their signup form with a "take me off your mailing list" note).

Fight the enveloper stuffer!

Your forgetting and neglecting a vast majority of the net users who dont use or know how to use rules for spam. So while their inbox is full, legit mail gets bounced? This doesnt happen with snail mail spam, if your mailbox is full they dont just throw it out.

BV · 10-03-2005, 12:58 PM

So true So true.
I get so much BS in the mail I could probably heat my home in the winter with it all.

If I applyed and they gave me an account for every pre aproved credit card & home equity loan ap that came in my mailbox I could probably retire and move to mexico! lol
