Ok, I'm so excited I have to tell someone about this....
A company spammed the message board yesterday. I sorta got ticked off as It wasn't your regular viagra, trojan virus etc type of garbage. This looked like a legitimate company embarking on a very deceitful tactic of spamming message boards. Sooooooo.. I decided to play with them..
They had (yea had, as in past tense) an interactive help desk chat on their website. I got on their chat (a LOT of times) and just harassed them with garbage, and telling them to stop spamming message boards, but was a general pain in the A$$ off and on for a few hours.. I also started spamming their online email with requests to... Yep you guessed it, to stop spamming message boards... I was considering writing a macro that would spam them night and day (just to give them a taste of their own medicine.
This morning I thought I'd go out and ping them another message... Guess what.. They have their email and web chat turned off now.. ha ha..... They might have blocked my IP, but I sorta doubt it, as their website is NOT very secure, says they don't know much about web stuff.
These are the guys if you're interested:
