NATIONAL DO NOT EMAIL List!

[DarkFudge2000]

...Folks this is what we really need! I get perhaps 1-5 calls from annoying telemarketers a week BUT I get from 10-20 annoying, and many times, repulsive EMAILS from spammers a DAY! And the worst part about it is that their Remove from mailing list procedures never seem to work!

All day I seem to get emails for reducing my mortage, increasing my penis and sex drive, descrambling my cable or cries to help some poor guy named OoTuu and save his political government in North Africa!


Guys we need a DO NOT EMAIL list!.............I dread skipping a few days of checking my emails for fear of swimming and sorting thru all this crap just to get to that one important email!

Come on guys....who's gonna start it!?

Can I get a REPLY of support?

SIGN ME UP!

When it happens, sign us up, too, but please post this discussion in our Off Topic forum. Similar legislation has been proposed regarding spam email, but we stuck the national "Do Not Call" info to the top of the forum for a few days because it is backed by Federal law which makes it an immediate issue for consumer protection.

Thanks for understanding,

Sure thing just give me your email and I will promise to give it to all the spamers with the strictest instructions not to email it. I'm certain they will follow the directions.

wrong forum

If you don't like spam e-mails, use regular mails.

 

[DarkFudge2000]

wrong FORUM!!!???.............I put it directly under the DO NOT CALL LIST POST....


Im assuming some of you immediate wise guys must enjoy all the spammy mail OR you actually are employed in the field of SPAM

Exactly how is this list going to be implemented and enforced?

 

[DarkFudge2000]

I would assume in the very same way that the Do Not Call List is enforced..........it would rely on the 'VICTIMS' to provide them with the evidence which would probblly be alot easier since it's an E-MAIL that could easily be forwarded to the appropriate authorities.....no?
