I've only run a company website for about two years now and I am shocked at the amount of nonsense that goes on with the internet these days.

All of the messages that are in the forums about the rediculous spam that people start getting happens to me, I probably get over 150 of them a day. I want to know why nothing is done about it? Probably because, honestly, what can you do about it?

I've found that most of these scam emails come from uncivilized 3rd world countries. Even the few i've caught from the united states who tried to comment spam me, when I try to report them to their isp, most of the time being comcast, they just don't want to deal with you. I've been blown off by comcast and several other isps when trying to tell them "look someone is using your service to illegally spam the internet".

I personally, and I'm sure many of you are in the same situation, cannot use over agressive spam filters on my email box. If I do I won't get emails from certain places, and it would hinder my business. So I basically have to sit here and take 150 spam messages a day because of this.

I personally banned all 3rd world countries from my website, and amazingly enough, the comment spam almost stopped completely, though I still get the email spam because they already have my email address. China and Hong Kong are probably the two countries I got spammed from the most. I completely believe they should be removed from the internet until they can clean their act up.

I wonder why that's not possible? Because people would consider it descrimination or something to that effect. However, I think there should be some kind of globally adopted standard, and if your country won't participate in that standard, than they cannot access the internet. Plain and simple, the standard should invoke severe criminal penalties for sending dirbag spam and comment spam to websites. If your country doesn't want to make these things a criminal offense, than that country doesn't belong on the internet.

There also should be more requirements when purchashing a domain. They should require more information, rather than these jerk websites that offer domain names for 1.99 and will sell them to anyone. That's how these morons get different websites every 5 seconds, because they are too cheap, and too easy to get.

I'd personally favor a high raise in the cost of purchasing domains so that the dirtbags are slowly drowned out by high costs, then they couldn't afford to buy 500 domains just to put up scam websites for penis enlargement

It's a real shame the internet has got to this point, and there isn't enough being done about it. This website is awesome, kudoos to you guys because you are trying to fight the battle everyone needs to fight together, the battle against these filthy @*(bags that want to steal and rob from everyone, rather than getting off their 3rd world @#)( to go get a job and earn a living![/code]

You raise many great points in your post.

Thanks for the kind words!
