This is a general moan, about these idiots that keep sending spam emails out advertising their grubby little website. Now despite blocking over a dozen of these shell accounts I and a good number of my fleet members still receive yet more TRIBBLE from them. I've even gone as far as contacting them via their website and asked them to stop sending me these emails, but the request has fallen on deaf ears,
Now I would really wish cryptic would take greater action and put a stop to these clowns. Granted their using shell accounts but surely cryptic should be able to track the IP address of where the account as been created from and place a permanent ban on it.
Well Last time I got anything from them was a week after launch.
Blocking IP's may seem like a great and grand idea... Except for the fact that alot of people have dynamic IP's, and as such you theoretically risk blocking out innocent users at random, made even worse by the fact that we are nearing the limit of IPv4 adresses, and more and more people and ISP's are starting to use IPv6 instead.
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
The spam comes in waves, they're quiet for a couple of months, and the I get several mails in a row. So I'm guessing Cryptic does mass-ban them, and then they regroup.
