I have decided to add a thread for people purely who spam us, or our friends, for the search engines / bots to harvest and send them their just rewards.
In true Braniac style, Please, whatever you do, do not forward these email address's to any illicit websites / known spammers or happen to forward their address to any junk email signup forms.
Please also ensure that you do not not email the address's for any legitimate reasons. They are spam email address's.
Spiders / bots spend all day browsing the Internet for email address's. Once they have these address's they then sell them to spammers and so if your email address is public knowledge or on the Internet, there is a greater chance of targeted spam emails.
Simply put, never put your email address on the Internet if you don't wish to receive spam. The fact that we and ISPreview have these email address's on our websites, means the person who spams, has a greater chance of receiving spam because of it. In other words its called revenge.
