Would you like your soul sold to solicitors that send you completely worthless and irrelevent offers? are you a man that feels the need to be sent ads for breast enhancing cream? are you a woman that wants to see what viagra is all about? minors would you like to discover a email entitled FREE NAKED WOMEN in your inbox when your parents are standing next to you? then sign up for a hotmail account! dont mind the smell of brimstone and hellfire thats normal trust me.

Seriously...

you do realize that Hotmail is now under lawsuit for failing to guard against SPAM to its clients? I just saw this on the news Monday night. It's about time they cleaned up their act!

I have completely used up my 'blocked sender' allocation on my Hotmail account. I also get ones saying 'Here's the information you asked for' and 'John asked me to tell you...' crap.

Why do I need viagra exactly?

Interesting, then, that neither Lycos Mail nor Yahoo Mail seems to have this problem. Neither does Iwon e-mail or any of the other e-mail companies, for those who are discreet with their online habits.

With Hotmail, you don't have a choice. A day after you sign up, regardless of whether you've used it or not, you're deluged with SPAM, and some of it utterly filthy. Don't tell me Hotmail/MS isn't selling it's lists, and on a daily basis!

I dont know about you but I never ever got that I kind of crap. I have some poxy account which I send mail from sites that you have to join up to their newsletter to gain entrance, thats the nearest thing I get to spam and thats my fault. I dont like the microsoft monopoly syndrome but as regards hotmail I dont get trouble.

hmmm, i never get crap like that in my inbox, are you SURE youre signed up with hotmail? all i get are 3 messages a day from gamespy, some commercial email i agreed to be sent in my rush to get registered for something, forwarded messages from both friends and ppl i dont talk to and not sure i ever have, and personal emails from my friends. i have never seen any of that stuff you just described (okay, the irrelevant offers ive recieved, but thats it!) i think you guys are talking about ICQ, i get a porn site offer about every 5 seconds im online with that! and since im not into porn at all i just ignore it. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/MON12.gif

LOL there was a post about stuff like this on the Elysium a while back. Someone discovered a sly bit of text in the agreement for hotmail which most people never notice. It's along the lines of:

"Any information you provide to Microsoft becomes the property of Microsoft and the company or its employees may use it at their discretion without consulting you. Blah...blah....blah..."

No joke.

And I get all that crap that people mentioned too. All the sh1t about I;ve been selected to win a holiday, university diplomas ( :hehe I mean who would be dumb enough to send off for one of those? You'd go for a job interview and you'd know crap all about the subject you're supposed to have a degree in. LOL! )
All the junk about offers for books on how to get women to follow you around and be attracted by checmicals u spray on yourself and penis enlargement techniques all for $29.99 and "The info u asked for" sh1t and horny naked teens.
I don't even bother to block sender cos they always come from a different address every time anyway. I don't use my hotmail much anymore either hehe.

SSJ4Sephiroth 06-13-2001 05:42 PM

well im fer thinkin that u guys get a diff hotmail than me, cuz ive never gotten anything like that! maybe its cuz they think im just a pathetic star wars fan (my account is the name of a character from it) who gets super-pissed when something like that is sent to him. guess theyre right! Bill Gates will know my true power, and he will bow before the Duke!

I had a conversation o nICQ before with this guy who kept sending me porn links, it was a pretty funny chat we had but he kept sending me the stuff even though he promised not to. The Bastard. That was some weird day especially these two people I met who got fired from Mcdonals but thats a story for another day.
