Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Rights vs Privilege

One of my former practice partners in Virginia is the older brother of movie producer Roy Lee. He told many interesting stories about his brother, one of which is his method of dealing with people who cross him. He uses their email address to register for multiple porn sites.

Aren't there bots out there that harvest email addresses that are posted in public forums to mass spam as well?

So I've heard, but I'm hardly the resident expert on such things. I imagine there's an ongoing arms race as far as evading them. At first, medic8r(at)mail.com might work, then the bots learn that (at) = @, and "DOT" = . etc etc

One interesting thing is that when you usually log into a porn site, they usually get info from your computer like your e-mail and so on. So in this case doesn't he also receive lots of spam? LOL I did that thing when I was younger, but the person really deserved. I was on some B2B website doing business and just got fooled by this guy. Lost some money I sent him for products samples.

That con man got off easy Ichigo. I'm sure it was still satisfying.

Nicely done, Jack.

You know what I like about this forum? It's not Axiom that moderates this forum, it's US, so to speak. It certainly helps that Axiom is a respectful company with excellent products, so it doesn't seem to attract troublemakers to begin with. But, if there are disagreements about something, we mostly go about discussing them in a rational and well mannered way. So, I think a lot of it is the forum members themselves who make it work. Occasionally, there have been troublesome individuals, but they eventually went away on their own because WE chose to ignore them. I think that says a lot about us here, and why many of us have stuck around long enough to feel like we know each other.

I know what I'm saying here might be a bit off topic, but I appreciate this group here a lot, and the fact WE make it work so there's no need for moderators.

I thought THIS was sort of funny...scroll down to read "a note to vegans". What?! Are vegans known to be troublemakers? HAHA! Very informative article, BTW!

Enlargement products so he could be a bigger dick?

Excellent post Jack.

One of the more interesting examples of forum rules I have run across is hometheatershack.com. Swear words, even ones considered very mild by todays standards, are automatically filtered out. Personal attacks are not tolerated. I must say that the tone of posting there is very good.

Sonic. I also find this forum quite amazing. For an unmoderated forum it is very civil.
