- The term is from radio, but can also be applied to newsgroups.
- The "signal" in a newsgroup is regular postings which are on-topic.
- The "noise" in a newsgroup is everything else that does not help contribute to the purpose for which the newsgroup was created.
- The unfortunate news though is even though you can report spam, more of them keep coming.
- Spam which consists of a large number of messages sent to a single newsgroup is called Vertical Spam.
- Vertical spam may be a clueless newbie or a spammer posing as a clueless newbie (clewbie).
- Spammers will multi-post (send a single message over and over again to multiple newsgroups) in order to force potential customers to see the same ad over and over again.
- A good idea is to create a new email address for every website that you disclose your address to.
- Spam, Bulk Email: Spam originally meant to post many off-topic and inappropriate postings to a newsgroup(s), making it hard to read by lowering the signal to noise ratio.
- Headers are the block of information lines which appear at the top of a mail or news message.
- Floods of forged articles intended to disrupt a newsgroup.
- Spambot: A computer program that can visit websites and usenet news groups in the same manner that a human reader would, and can thereby collect what look like valid e-mail addresses for inclusion in a spam mailing list.
