As a web designer, I fight spam on a regular basis, both through email and other mediums.
It is intrusive, potentially harmful to your computer, a potential threat to the security of your identity, and just a pain in the ass to deal with.
But if you were to sign someone up for spam? That's the stupidest shit right there. It's really, really, really lame. Spam is illegal in the first place, because of these risks. If you were to sign someone up, and they are targeted by identity theft? Or some sort of attack on their computer? That suddenly makes you liable for what's been done.
If anything happens to asmaria's machine, or even her, period, I will take action. Don't think I will let this happen to her. I've seen what spammers actually do from both sides, and they are often aware of the risks. However, most people don't know to take these precautions. These application systems do record the IP address that submitted the request in the first place, and it is logged.
What does this mean? It means that I already have the means to find out who did this to her. The only reason I haven't is because I've been asked not to do anything about it.
Anyhow, it's all fun and games to the person who did this, I'm sure, and honestly? asmaria is finding it hilarious. I, on the other hand, am not. What's being done here is both dangerous and illegal.
The moment that line is crossed and something happens due to that spam, you better believe I will be all over it. Maybe they'll get a conscience and realize what they're doing before it's too late.
but somehow, if they're immature enough to start this in the first place, I somehow doubt that.
