I posted quite a while ago ranting against the endless redirection spamming on spaces.live.com - now I know I'm not the only one, and I have some hard facts to back up my claim:
I am a new member at the InboxRevenge forums, and I'm glad to be a part of their effort to do as much as possible to hassle spammers. Complainterator does some good, there have been inroads made and spammers sent to jail, so something positive is happening. Someone at MS must be paying attention, because the domains listed in the IBR Nov. 29th report have since been taken down, but...
...until Microsoft becomes more proactive on the issue, the blame falls squarely on them. Yahoo, Blogspot and others have much more manageable systems in place to prevent or at least report abuse, until Microsoft does the same I'm calling them out on this one.
I feel this IS an "IT ethics" issue, enabling spammers easy access to spread their criminal exploits is just plain wrong. I'm glad to find I'm not alone.
