    Rider's Gallery Spam

    A few people alerted me to the fact that their e-mail address had been scraped off of the Z1000 Rider's Gallery on Z1000.net and used to send them spam. I always had the option on there to make your e-mail address public, so that people could contact you if they wanted to talk to you about your bike. Guess the spammers have won, I removed all of the e-mail addresses from displaying on the gallery.

    could you post some sort of legal disclaimer forbidding spammers to use the addresses they see on the pages?

    And that's going to do what? It might scare off the legitimate emailers more than spammers.

    I'm with Rice. Spammers must die. It's not like life is being wasted, because spammers have none to begin with. It's more like killing them would be a kindness on their behalf.

    The worse part is, some of them make some serious cash spamming. All while wasting bandwidth, and other resources.
