I have thought of a way to stop all those spams in my email, by simply spamming the spammer.( Actually, I read simmilar anti-spam procedure on the net... )
But not over email, but over his website order form. Now I would need your help since I don't know how to do it exactly... This is his code for order Submittion form:
<form method="post" action="order.asp" name="frmConfirm">
Offcourse there are all sorts of variables in the form but they are all filled out and just ready for me to press Submit..
Now, what I can do is to Submit once, and then press refresh again, and again.. That way I would give him some time to clean all false orders I made, but it is not easy to press refresh thousand time, so I ment it could be done using PHP script or something else.. Maybe uploading this page on to my webserver and add some "refresh on every 5 sec." code..???
What do you think???
P.S. I hope I haven't said anything against regulations.:p

It slows the servers down and uses power and and and
It just makes problems. Send the sucker an email saying he's the saddest idiot u have ever seen. If its the best thing to with his time to annoy people and destroy servers then he really sux.

I just wanted to press submit 1000 times.. That is not SPAM. That is somethig similar and I can't see how it could be used in bad purposes to good people. That is all. I didn't wish to DOS him. I have botnet if I wanted to do it. But I do not want to get down to his level.. I just wanted to let him know how I feel when I have to delete 50 emails per day, all coming from this site...
spamcops don't help either in this case. Nevermind then. It is bad what I wish to do to him, but kinda good-bad thing...:D
Spamming is never a good thing. If you would do it, you'd be no better than him. :rolleyes:
As far as this being able to be used against good people, it certainly could. I've made sites with forms before...

That is fraud, or something similar, since you do not intend to make 1000 purchases. Writing a script that would do it for you is probably the legal equivalent of putting a virus on his server.

I'm sure your sentiments are echoed here on these forums, but you REALLY don't want to do what you have suggested. Unless you WANT to wear that orange jumpsuit...

Um why don't you set up a filter to filter the spammer out of your emails? Or alternatively put his domain into a black list in your email client. That way you don't see his spam and he wastes his bandwidth sending you stuff u never read or get to see.

Aw, now why would you want to go and solve the problem like that? ;)
Yeah, I thought this thread was dedicated to left wing extremist solutions. :p

Nah, can't filter this guy... Random subject, from, etc. No way I could block him with any kind of filter..
Besides, I am from the country of neverending war, so I have little tamper for anything, and some things just can't be solved with words..
You should look for a Bayesian spam filter... Mozilla's mail client has one.
