What are some thoughts on 'find a host' type sites supporting big spammers like G L O B A T and H I V E L O C I T Y just to mention a few? These companies are obvious spammers and anyone that has been around for as little as a year knows it.
I leaned forward to get my credit card out and BAM right in my face, a big ad by a known spammer right where I decided not to place some ads. I don't want to be grouped into the same bunch. I don't think they should be allowed to place ads where honest companies compete for business. This allows them to increase brand recognition that lends credibilty to the SPAM they spew thus eventually placing the SPAM the spew into the "it's AOL, it's not SPAM" category!
It seems to me these companies have chosen to abuse the system. So there business and money should not be accepted by those in the mainstream.
I don't mean to go off on a rant here but...
This is like buying OJ Simpson autographed ninja knives with matching bloody gloves at Sports Authority.
IMHO... Any company that provides ANY service to SPAMMERS (except for maybe liquidation) should be pressured by boycotting services they provide and more.
Something needs to be done about it. SPEWS is a big joke. All they are doing is creating more ARIN paperwork!
Any ideas or thoughts on this?
Anyone care to wiegh in with some hosting SPAM that has landed in your box recently buy some of these known abusers and put some pressure on them?
