• Spam Tip: Read the fine print when filling out forms online, most forms have a box that has been pre-checked to indicate that your details can be shared with other sites for the purpose of sending you newsletters (read: junk mail), so make sure to de-select those options.
• Usenet spam: Usenet spam typically refers to posts consisting of commercial advertising, but certain types of abusive posts designed to disrupt newsgroups are also referred to as spam such as sporge or flame posts.
• Spam can often times be defeated by using the built-in features of many news clients.
• Giganews has long been a leader in removing spam from usenet, with an active spam filtration system that monitors all newsgroups for spam articles, and a dedicated support team that can help eliminate spam which makes it through the filters.
• "Scraping is the act of collecting e-mail addresses for a spam list by scanning publicly-posted websites, mail list archives, or usenet newsgroups.
• To cross-post is to send a single message to multiple newsgroups.
• This is preferable to sending single copies of a message to each newsgroup for three reasons: First, by only sending a single copy, you reduce network resource consumption.
• Second, most newsreaders allow users to view and discard a crossposted message with just one reading, even if they subsequently visit other newsgroups to which the message was posted.
• Third, a followup reponse to the original article will be seen in all the relavent newsgroups, instead of just the one.
• Each new post has different hashed text.
• Crossposting an article to many newsgroups at once.
• Such articles are rarely relevant to so many newsgroups at once and are usually the hallmark of a clueless newbie or a spammer.
• Excessive Multi-Posting (EMP) is posting an article to dozens of newsgroups or more, one newsgroup per post.
