Some time back I was e-mailed by one person to send him a certain abandoned game, and I have not heard from him any more after that - until about two months ago. Then he sent me some few stupid e-mails. I could tolerate and ignore that up to what happened this monday when I discovered no less then four chain-mails from him sent to me in last few days, including the petition about that dumb "bonsai kitten" site.



Honestly, this s**t has quite peeved me off. It's one thing when you get a dumb spam every once in a while, and another when you get several from the same person in a very short period.

So I wrote him an e-mail to stop this.

<!--QuoteBegin-Subject: Cease that spam. (Re: Not for the faint hearted.)

Would you please cease sending me those chain-petitions? Getting three or four of them in last week was really unnerving. I don't know why exactly are you doing that, but I am slowly getting _really_ annoyed.

Sorry if it sounds to you like I'm heartless, but I have more then enough of my own problems.

As far as I know the whole "bonsai kitten" thing is a total bullshit.
What is very sad, however, is that some people believe in that and some
probably do actually attempt to recreate the idea.

If you hate that site so much, contact the ISP whose server hosts it and some appropriate organizations. A petition will not achieve anything but draw more people there.

As you can see, this was a rather calm and polite request.
And today he sent me a not-so-calm-nor-polite reply. The swear-words were not *'d out, either.

What do you think about the whole thing? Did any of you have such experiences in the past? Do you think I should do something to shut him up?

Just tell him that this kind of response is not appreciated, and then I'd say a simple block should do the trick.

Change it so that all of his emails will become zapped by your spam filter.

easy soultion cant you add him to a ignore section or somin like on most IM progs
about the bonsai kittens my solution to there solution is :Titan: get medival on the sick tards who do this maybe :sniper: see in the world there plenty of people who need to die these group and bush and the spammer are all a good healty example

Call me sick and perverted, but, being a scientist, I would like to see those kitties (if they exist). However, I would NEVER do that to a real cat. Nobody get me wrong. It just sounds like an interesting process, even though I know it is very sick.

About the spam emails: I say just sign it, for goodness sake. You could even put on a fake name.

Just send a mail about him to abuse@hisprovider
They'll warn him soon enough. He's not only sending you spam, he's also harassing you. Should be reason enough to close down his account. Make sure you inlcude his rants as well! :ok:

btw. you can find out who his provider is by checking the headers of the mail! (in case you're not certain)

OOOOH i fell like a happy school girl :w00t: when i see jerks finally get theres like this spammer just let us know the outcome :evil:

How can anyone be so annoying?.. :eeeeeh:
Damn... :whistle:

Yeah it's terrible when they spam your inbox and then when you try to point it out to them and then they rant right back at you, but yeah if you can try to find out the isp's email address and send a copy of the email to them, hopefully that will shut him down.

Kill tha spammers! :D
