Should it be considered Spam, all he's saying is Hi Baby!

I guess there should be a notification saying "This is a very old thread, do you want to bring it back or whatever"

Where's the list? ;)

The list is a bit of a secret, mostly because I don't want to suggest that all e.g. sites on it are indeed spam. And I don't want to reveal too much to spammers, though I doubt they even read anything that's posted here. It contains a lot of congratulatory phrase like "g_o_o_d design!" or "n_i_c_e site!", a lot of domains or domain extensions like ._r_u – which is unfair but somewhat necessary – and a lot of drugs like x_a_n_a_x and games like p_o_k_e_r.
